Rigged fire

I modeled a candle with its fire on top. All OK but then I rigged and animated the candle.


In the moment rigged candle must ignite, fire grows off the wick. It grows in the place which wick should be if were not rigged.

Suggestions please

hello, does anybody have a suggestion ?

The questions is, why the flame does not follow the wick? Which order are the modifiers? The armature deform needs to come before the smoke sim.

OMgold you are the best. Effectively this was exactly the problem. Thank you, FIXED
