Who makes the best scented candles?

I like candles that smell like pumpkin pie and other scents that smell like the holidays. I like the scent to be strong enough and smell long enough.

Why do scented candles make me feel drained and weak?

I only burn the wax melts or tarts in a burner for 2hrs a day, i noticed i was tired all the time from the oils, Yankee candles seem to be the worst, any candle experts out there that can tell me what scented candles are the best for burning that won't drain the essence out of me.

Approximately how many candles does a pound of paraffin make?

I'm dipping candles that will be about 2 inches in diameter, and I need to know how much wax to buy. How many candles would a pound of paraffin make?
Anyone even have a guess?

Will scented candles trigger a dorm room smoke alarm/sprinkler?

I stay in a single dorm room in college, and each room has a smoke alarm and a sprinkler. I would like to light a scented candle (in a glass jar) to spice up the room abit, will it trigger the smoke alarm/sprinkler? It would suck if it does and the ensuing sprinklers soak my electronics.
The two ideal places I could place the candle happen to be below the smoke alarm and sprinkler. I can endeavor to move it elsewhere though if that is too dangerous.
Please advise, thank you!

Do scented candles pollute the air inside?

My mother always told me not to burn candles because they use up all the oxygen in the indoor air, but I really love scented candles. Is there anything to her belief?

Will scented candles cause wax buildup in your lungs?

As scented candles burn down, all that wax has to go somewhere. Laws of Matter require it to. Is it going into my lungs like tar from a cigarette? Am I getting a paraffin build-up in my lungs? If no, then why not?
Wax can't stay in the container it is in, it is burned off. Hence the smell and the smaller candle.
