Why does blowing on a candle put it out but sucking doesn't? Alternatively, why does the force created by blowing out air feel so much stronger than the force created by sucking in air?
Ok, so forget the human factor involved in blowing out candles. Consider a vacuum cleaner with a suction end and a blower end. Anyone who has tried it out notices the blower end creates a much stronger force than the suction end, despite the discharge being (more or less) equal at both ends.
Why does this happen?
 A: In a blower, the air is directed along the axis of the blower as it exits, creating a high-pressure narrow cone. Exit pressure can also be multiple times of atmospheric pressure. 
At a sucker entry, the low-pressure zone is fed by a much wider angle of atmospheric air at atmospheric pressure. Additionally, the underpressure can at most be 1x atmospheric pressure. therefore the inflow has an upper limit to its velocity. 
A: Watch water going down a drain. It has a rotational symmetry and goes into a vortex, whose boundary conditions perpendicular to the flow cover an area much larger than the hole of the drain.
Watch water coming out of a hose. The boundary conditions defining the vortex are to start with the area of the hose perpendicular to the motion.  
It is the same with the air, blowing out the mouth is the bound of the vortex thus the energy per unit area carried by the flow is much larger than by inhaling. In inhaling the vortex boundaries are variable but certainly much larger than the hole of the mouth, thus the energy carried by the induced flow of air per unit area is much smaller.
It is the impact of air that blows out the candle, and the area of the flame is small so that a directional blow from the mouth can turn it off. In inhaling the area covered by the flow cannot be controlled and the energy per unit area impacting the flame is much smaller.
