While it may be harder these days to get the chemicals, you could easily make your own refills for these. As you can see in the picture, they are not candles, but rather candle-shaped "spirit lamps," meaning that they burn spirits, not that they summon them.
We are not supposed to discuss chemistry here at the Café anymore, but if you were to take a simple flammable organic chemical that is the active ingredient of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, and mix it with the various salts that you will discover the names of by searching for "flame test" in a chemistry book, or even on the web, you will produce a liquid that will burn in the appropriate color in a spirit lamp. You might have to add a bit of water to the mixture to get the salts to dissolve. Experiment with the mix to see how much water you can have and still get a good flame in a spirit lamp. Oh no, I wrote a Howie Diddit! Yours, Paul |

Ahhh yes, as they say in the DOT, if it is a mixture of Alcohol and other things, it might no longer be flammable, and if it is less than (If I recall) 12% alcohol in a water mix then it is exempt! Thank you beer and wine industry!!

At http://www.daytonamagic.com they sell items to change the color of a flame. Look in the fire section I think.
