if there's no metallic substances in or on the tealite (ie. gold leafing) then you can microwave the sucker and just melt the wax and dump the melted wax in some other container and chuck it out when it's cold. note: this could result in your tealite becoming very hot and, if too hot, possibly exploding.
you could also take a knife (a normal dinner knife will do) and just stab at the wax. it should break apart and come off with only a bit of effort.
or you could boil some water and dunk the tealite into the heat and boil and boil 'til the wax melts out.....but that would be messy and won't necessiarily work.
or you could take a BBQ lighter (you know, really long lighter thingy) and use the flame from that to remelt the wax and then just dump the wax into a disposable container. careful, tho, you could turn the tealite black. :D

btw, i think using the knife to break apart the wax would be the best thing to do. you don't need to pound with the knife, either. just push firmly on it. don't be too rough as not to break the tealite (i'm assuming the thing's made out of some sort of porcelin or china or something...).

THe problem is I think the holder is also made of wax. So anything done that'll melt the wax will ruin the holder too. :_;

And the way I ended up getting it out was stabbing at the mostly-empty tealight, shattering the plastic, and picking it out that way. :-/ scratched the holder up a bit, which suuuuuucks...

oh. well then. ummm.....put it on the shelf as something priddy to look at?

ok , do you mean the candle holder is made of white wax? cuz that pretty much voids everything I am gonna say. Assuming the candle holder material is not extremely fragile, try soaking it in really really hot water. Not quite boiling but enough that it will make the wax soft. You should be able to pull the bulk of the wax off. Then using either a scraping instrument that wont damage the holder, or a soft wire brush, scrape off the rest. If you cant get it all some place like michels or even a hardware place like OSH might have some sort of chemical for removing wax. Hope that works

wow i hate it when it doesnt let me see that there are other comments before mine lol

Girl no be sad >_
