What Makes Backflow Incense Different?

Backflow incense cones are different from standard dhoop or regular cone incense. They are specially made with a tiny hole in the base, which allows the smoke to flow downward when the cone is lit and placed on a compatible backflow burner.

This creates the distinctive waterfall or mist-like effect that backflow incense is known for. Standard incense cones do not create this effect because their smoke rises normally into the air.

About the Waterfall Effect

When used correctly with a backflow incense burner, these cones create a downward stream of smoke that moves through the burner’s design like a flowing waterfall. This makes them especially popular for:

• meditation spaces
• yoga rooms
• relaxing evenings
• mindful home décor
• gifting
• creating a tranquil visual atmosphere

Please note that it can take up to 10 minutes for the full smoking or mist effect to appear.

Dhoop vs Backflow Incense Cones

The main difference is in how the smoke behaves.

Dhoop or standard incense cones are smaller and are burned in a regular incense holder, with smoke rising normally upward.

Backflow incense cones are larger and designed with a hollow base. When paired with a backflow burner, the smoke is drawn downward before dispersing, creating the signature waterfall effect.

How to Use Backflow Incense Cones

Light the tip of the cone and allow it to burn for around 4 to 8 seconds until the top is glowing. Gently blow out the flame and place the cone on top of a backflow burner, directly above the burner hole.

For best results:

• use indoors
• keep away from sudden air movements
• place on a heatproof surface
• allow up to 10 minutes for the full effect to develop

Important Use Notes

After burning backflow cones, it is normal for a light oily residue to appear on the burner. For this reason, protect any furniture underneath the burner appropriately. The residue can usually be wiped off easily with a damp cloth.
