It’s harder and harder to find drippy candles nowadays, most are drip-less. Is it cheaper to produce these? Is it a safety thing?
I’m writing this from the UK if that helps, as it might not be universal.

Dripless candles are made from a harder was than regular, so the wax only melts near the flame, not farther out in a place it could drip from. Not sure if it’s cheaper or not.
They make candles last longer. Go to the dollar store and buy the cheapest candles you can find.
If you want them to drip for… personal reasons… there are special melty, safe-temperature candles.
Yes i think it’s the kind of wax used. I buy church candles: more expensive but drippy like you remember
Even with regular wax, if a candles size (diameter) is correct for the size wick used, the candle will consume all of the available wax as the wick is consumed. That way there is no excess of wax to drip.
Did a wizard write this?
Dribbly candles are the result of professional candle dribblers. It’s an almost forgotten art but there are still a few practitioners around if you know where to look and have an in with the circles of the occult.
You can buy specifically drippy candles! I had a couple in cool old drinks bottles that looked pretty nice
Buy natural bee wax candles or bee wax platters and a wick and roll your own candle. The smell is a big plus, too.
