where do you put aroma therapy oil? In water reservoir and how much
1697664
Just put it in with the water and the amount depends upon how strong you want the odor. Some oils don't take much, 3 or 4 drops and others take more.

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 you put it in water. But this unit did not last but 2 days. I bought a different one.

Take off the lid and inside is a water reservoir and you just drop the oil in the water. Holds about 1- 1 1/2 cups of water. Hope that helps.

I put the essential oil in with the water in the reservoir. I usually use 2-3 drops.

According to the directions, you cannot add anything directly into the water. However, there are small round fabric discs you can buy that have different fragrances that fit right over the water reservoir. A sample came with the inhaler. You may be able to buy them on Amazon.

I would advise against adding anything but clear water. If you want the aroma of essential oils, you could use an old-fashioned steam vaporizer with a heated Vicks Vapo-Rub/mentholatum chamber. (I have sprayed a little water-soluble Febreze into one of the units as an experiment, but Febreze kinda stinks too much.) As my units have aged, they have become more temperamental, needing more frequent cleanings. I have also needed to get replacement pumps from the mfg. These were provided free by mail, since the units all had under a year of use.

Yes, it is made for essential oil use. However, be sure to use mineral water in the reservoir and then add your oil selection. It does not however run for 5 full hours as stated in the brochure. I bought one for my father and his private care ladies run it every day and have since purchased at Christmas and have had no issues. That could very well be because if you don't use the mineral water it will probably plug up and quit!

Hi C23, how did u finally resolve this issue, or did U?I see others suggested the foam inside was likely impeding the flow into the reservoir. I see 1 person took it out, added oil, then put it back in - a good idea as I think its needed to prevent oil from outflowing too fast... Hope u found a solution!

I have only used this oil for its scent, by smelling it or by adding it to water to boil. I don't know about adding a couple of drops and drinking it. Sorry.

You put cool water in it with your essential oil and diffuse. hope this helps.

You can. The inhaler comes with a couple of pads that are saturated with oils. Once those are used up, you can add more drops of oil to them, or buy new ones. I am not sure if you should add oil directly to the water reservoir. The reservoir is plastic (unlike the older version, which was stainless), and I am not sure if the oil would react with the plastic. If it doesn't react, it should be fine, I used to do that with the old metal one.

I never used the fragrance bottle as it did not give off enough aroma. I just put 2-3 drops right into the water.

Unfortunately I don't know. I would be interested to find out why it needs to be plugged in. I would prefer the aromatherapy bottle as well.

The company says no more than 3 drops or you will gum up the machine, which is fine for a light scent/small room. I do put in more like 5 or 6 because I'm going for the therapeutic properties of the oils and am not sure 3 is enough. It is a little gummy on the bottom which I plan to clean with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.

I wouldn't recommend putting hot oils in it. I think it will clog up pretty easily as it's designed for water. Although I do put essential oil in it with water.

As the seller of this product, please note you can only use Water Soluble Aroma Oil. Any other oil, will encapsulate the water sensor and stop it from working.

Well my wife is using this not me but she says, the Diffuser device has a line you fill water up to. But the essential oil bottle should have a ratio of drops to use in a certain amount of water so read the info on the essential oil bottle and add the recommended amount of drops to the volume of water contained at the diffuser's water level limit line. Of course you want to use distilled or reverse osmosis water so you don't get so much mineral build up in the diffuser reservoir.

I'm not sure which setting I use but the medium setting lasts for about 2 hours. It's a nice unit for aroma therapy with oils.

I do it all the time, in my case, up to 8 drops of eucalyptus oil mixed into one capful of water. No harm to the unit or heating area at all. Works fine.
