I would say it is the same as an eye dropper. I would also guess it to be a tiny bit more than a teaspoon full. It does work!

We have not had any problems with dripping anywhere. The handle has gotten wobbly a couple of times and we tightened the screw on the handle which fixed it. Sorry this isn't much help

I own this and tested today to see how many drops you need for this to work properly. It took 50 drops! The glass tubing that connects to the bottom of the container (the bottom of the upside down L shape) on the inside has a little hole in it. For this to work properly (you will see mist if working properly although you need to look closely to see the mist) you need to fill the oil over the hole until you see the oil suck up into it. If there isn't any oil in the bottom piece while it is running there isn't enough oil. This is quite a bit of oil to use although once it gets going it will last a while. I haven't tested how long until you need to add more oil. If you are using the same oil each time you only need to top it off but if you start with a new oil you are going to need 50 drops to get it going again.

Hi Victoria:I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

I had the exact same problem.I finally broke down and bought some extra tips.Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

I had the same problem. I started to use a measuring spoon even when told to use just a few drops. It is really about technique. You will slowly tilt till you see liquid coming out and quickly reverse. Sorry I can't be more helpful :( Hope you figure it out.

Same thing happened to me. The bottle I received squirted a stream at first. So, I ran the the whole can under warm water for about a minute then I took off the tip and placed that I hot water for about a minute. Seemed to fix the problem and it finally sprayed as a mist.

I forgot to put this in my last answer. If you do not own a dropper, I would suggest to add an eighth of a teaspoon to the pot. Taste test and add more as needed to your liking.

Hi JoAnn. Yes you can, and the drops are pretty consistent in size if you go slow. I just now filled one pipette to the 2ml mark (with water) and then counted the number of drops to reach the 1ml mark, getting 20 drops on each try.

Sounds like you have the mister full of oil. It should only be filled 50% or less so you can add more air to it. It's like using a garden sprayer, the lesser the fluid and the more air you can add, the longer it will spray.

I make bug spray w/it. I only put in 6-7 drops in a pint size. NOT the whole bottle.

Havent had a problem with clogging myself. You can try dipping a q-tip in alcohol and swabbing the end of the nozzle. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after every use. You may want to try a different makeup brand, or thin the make up a bit, or taking it completely apart and giving the nozzle a good cleaning.

I had the same problem you have to put about five drops then it has to run for about five minutes before it starts puffing. Also if it is daytime you probably can't see it in the light.

Same problem, also contacted seller and was sent replacement carafe with no improvement. I suspect it's just a design flaw, although interestingly when the coffee pot is freshly cleaned the dripping is minimal (maybe coffee deposits on the lip of the plastic pour change the surface tension/capillary action? idk...)

When you insert the dropper into the liquid and squezze, it fills up half way. This equates to 20 drops which is one serving. I called and asked this same question.

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

My husband's WP hose (leading to the sprinkler) worn out, spraying water every where, but not on the tip itself. He got the manufacture's website, ordered it for $8.00 and a few $$ for shipping. It came less than a week, took 10 minutes to replace, worked like a charm. I believe yours should be stress-free problem as well. Good luck
