Have you always wondered: how does an incense waterfall actually work? Then we will share a secret with you! The Backflow Burner uses a simple natural phenomenon. So nothing artificial happens at all! Such a zen waterfall does need incense cones with a hole in the bottom for the desired effect. The beautiful waterfall is caused by the special Backflow Cone and the special design of the burner. Waterfall Incense Cones are partially pierced from the bottom to just below the top. This causes smoke to flow back instead of up. The burner itself has a hole in the top, through which smoke slides down. But such an incense fountain, how does it work exactly? Time for a refresher course in physics!

How does an Incense Waterfall work?

As you know, warm air is released during the burning of incense. Due to the air pressure present, warm air rises and takes the smoke upwards comfortably. However, because Backflow Cones are hollow, the smoke ends up in cold air during burning. As a result, it descends and through the hole in the burner the shape of a smoke waterfall is created.

So Long Burn Backflow Incense Cones

The burning time of special Incense Waterfall Cones differs from normal variants. The smoking part is slightly smaller, because they are hollow. That is why you can enjoy the incense waterfall spectacle for an average of 10 to 15 minutes. In addition, these cones give off a heavier, thicker smoke than normal incense products. Everything for a spectacular effect, of course.
