In this video I talk about different kinds of incense to use during Orthodox prayers at home, and how to make an oil lampada (vigil lamp). For personal use at home, do not use a swinging censer like the priests use, as those are for liturgical purposes only. You can buy resin incense and charcoal on amazon, ebay, etsy and many Orthodox bookstores or monastery websites. For resin incense, amazon will probably be the cheapest, but the best smelling will probably be incense offered by Orthodox monasteries and shops. The charcoals are instant light disks, and will probably be the cheapest on amazon. Use olive oil for the lamp oil, and use a cotton wick. In the video I mentioned twine, but I actually use cotton yarn, although I think cotton twine would probably work as well. I linked two Orthodox shops below that have fantastic incense. Also colored glass lampadas and hangers can be purchased from many Orthodox shops if you don't want to make your own, although the larger wider containers will allow the lamp to burn longer.
