Self-Extinguishing Candle IX

 Goes boom

A pocket of explosive gas, such as methane, is entombed in the wax along the wick. When the pocket is breached, the flame ignites the gas, which promptly consumes all surrounding oxygen to snuff the flame. A series of such pockets along the length of the candle allow for reuse.
