Incense Flow creates unique incense-burning sculptures designed for stress reduction, a zen atmosphere, and meditation. Our incense burners are designed to hold an incense cone, rather than a stick. When lit, the cones release smoke that cascades down the carved waterfall like liquid, creating an evocative stream of incense.

Furthermore, we have spared no expense in using the highest quality incense ingredients, and created a product that is equal to, if not better, than any other burner on the market. We’ve developed a way for you to enjoy the positive effects of the incense aroma without the unbridled smoke through our backflow incense cones.

Our incense cones are designed specially to send smoke down into a backflow burner, creating a controlled and calming environment while burning incense. This allows you to have a more curated experience when you choose to engage in aromatherapy. Even better, this scent is non-synthetic, hand-dipped and harkens to the classic incense aroma.

Our incense burners and cones are specifically designed to flow downwards. The cones have a hole at the base which allow the smoke to flow down into the channels of our Waterfall burners. When you place the backflow cone on the top of the burner, the smoke cascades down the carved waterfall like liquid. Our burners don't require any electricity or batteries because the downward flow is all natural!

Here is the boring science behind it. Pressure means how much something is pushing on something else. It is defined as force per unit area: Pressure = F/A. If an enclosed area has lower pressure than the area around it, the smoke contracts and sucks in - creating negative air pressure. With negative air pressure, making the medium expand requires work. When the medium is allowed to contract, energy is released that can be used to do useful work.

To properly light a backflow cone, first light the top tip of the cone. Only light the very top portion and blow out the flame once its glowing red. Then place the incense cone in the Waterfall burner with the tip faced upwards. You will see the smoke start to travel down the channels after about 1 minute of lighting the cone.

Our standard incense cone bag is 25 pieces. So one of our standard Champa bags would burn for about 11 hours total. We found that one incense cone burns for 28 minutes. Our logic is 25 pieces per bag X 28 minutes per cone = 11.67 hours.
