Not exactly a new community, but it’s niche, so I thought it might be a good idea to let people know about it!
Incense
Description
A place for incense enthusiasts to discuss all kinds of incense, from sticks to bakhoor and nerikoh: reviews, incense-making, and more.
The heated kind remind me of those wax heaters. Though I imagine these give more bang for your buck since there wouldn’t be adulterants.
Yea, you can absolutely use a wax heater. There are also heaters specifically for incense (they can usually achieve higher temperatures for heating woods), and tealight heaters. I also use an MHP30 mini circuit board heater. The traditional way is to use charcoal, but it’s a pain and a bit difficult to get the temperature right.
And you’re right, the heated varieties don’t usually seem to have much junk in them, especially as they aren’t a very popular category in the west.
