However, these are messy and unreliable. Consider other methods of enjoying the rich soothing smell of resin incense without the mess of charcoal. All you need is a candle diffuser, and you can experience the sweet scent of incense in your home.

Things You Will Need

  • Candle diffuser
  • Water
  • Resin incense
  • Tea light
  1. Clean the candle diffuser well. Leftover particles and dirt may change the scent of the resin.

  2. Fill the well halfway with water. The water will keep the incense from sicking to the burner.

  3. Place a few nuggets of resin incense in the water.

  4. Light the tea light, and place it under the diffuser's well.

The Drip Cap

  • Resin incense comes in many varieties.
  • These round bricks are specially made with potassium so they will light with the first contact with flame.
  • Fill the well halfway with water.
