does this one use straight oil, or does it use with water?

Only use it with a few drops of oil. 4-8 max. It will go almost a full workday.

The only oil used is any make of chain saw lube oil. The tank is very small.

Not very easily with just water. Baby oil works for skin and alcohol for other surfaces.

Yes it works very well; much better than oil that has been diluted with water. It is a very thin oil.

you just drop the oils in the water. a drop or two of each oil is all it takes.

I had the same issue with it, so I just add the oil to the water as well. It's worked great for me so far.

I am not the manufacturer and I really do not care what oil is used. If you need the information so desperately contact the manufacture directly and ask, instead of using us to do the work for you. Thank you.

I always use synthetic 10w30. It is a great all weather oil and you change it every 40 hours.

If you don't put it directly into the water. My machine came with a vial of Vick's oil and a little pad with directions about how to use it.

No, its uses a special type of oil/water thing. I suggest you return them and buy new ones.

In the water reservoir and as much as you need. If i'm using one oil,I usually use one or two drops. Multiple oils , I use 2 drops of each.

Yes, but you can not dip it in water. I wipe oil off it with a paper towel.

I use mine infrequently, so I just keep the tip submerged in oil when not in use, dry it off and just put a few drops in the barrel before use. I was really surprised at how well this thing works.

I would say yes. I have this unit and see no reason why not. A few drops into the water reservoir would pass through the atomizer with no issue. More than 'a few drops' would not be recommended as the viscocity of the oil would affect atomization. Still, in that case, running it on straight water a time or two would clear it, most likely.

You just add it to the water. I usually do 5 to 10 drops. If the oil you're using is particularly strong you might want to be conservative with it.

I use plain olive oil. I've had this for a couple of years and it has never clogged. Every few months I wash it out and fill with fresh olive oil. I use mine daily so that may help keep it from clogging.

I use hydralic oil.....oil leaking is very normal for this product.....to fill...open the sight glass...tilt slightly away from you...fill to the bottom edge...replace sight glass and the oil level should be right
