Its carbon from it burning theres not a good way to avoid it that I know of.... May be the flame your using is to hot (I doubt it) Maybe try letting the candle burn a little? also hold it relativly close to the base.

don't use matches or regular lighters, unless you experiment alot. Jet type torches/lighters work well. Ones that shoot out like a jet all blue flames
