Candle snuffers are your friend, they keep your wicks centered and eliminate that "wax blown out all over the place" problem. Also, make sure you are trimming your wicks to about 1/4" on all candles but tealights and 3-wicks (or bigger multi-wicks). From trial and error I've learned that if a jar candle measures over 3" across to leave the wick a bit longer for better burning.
More tips to make any candle happier (sure it's a bit of a shameless plug, but still good tips for candles in general!)
