Does this diffuser use a lot of essential oil, or a little? Some diffusers require a lot of oil, which makes its use much more expensive. Anyone know?

It requires very little oil about 2-3 drops with full tank of 80ml of water.

Don't ever put 5 drops as the directions say unless you want a really strong smell in a short amount of time! It very quickly gave the room a strong scent the first time we tried it! :) From now on, it's 2-3 drops for us! :)

The fill line is basically the base of the smallest part of the diffuser (on the inside). You fill up to that with distilled water. Add approx. 6 drops of essential oil (I have added more if it was a milder scent and needed more and it was totally fine). I hope this is helpful!

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

I like this fan diffuser a lot better than my water diffuser. I bought one for my mom. My sister-in-law had to get one after seeing mine. The scent is stronger using the fan. Everyone that comes into my home really likes the wonderful scents. Depending on how many drops of oil you use, that will determine how long it lasts. I leave mine running for about an hour & it still has a great aroma (about 5 drops). Hope this helps you.

Here is a good breakdown of the different types of diffusers. I was pretty sure this one did NOT use heat, but had to look it up! http://www.abundanthealth4u.com/Diffuser_Comparison_s/52.htm

I usually add on top of that, because by the time it gets that low, I feel like most of the oil has evaporated, but I enjoy mixing the oils any how. If you don't wish to mix the oils, than you do have to waste the water! Also, I don't always have water left in the chamber, and I'm not sure why and when that happens! I love my doTERRA diffuser!

I love this stuff , I highly recommend it. It's all natural essential oils. It really works for me inside a diffuser or humidifier. That way it's coming out in to the air along with the warm air. That's how I use mine others may do different. Hope this helps.

The top slides off. Inside you will find a place to fill the water. Then add several drops of the essential oil. There is a button on the side to control how long you want the diffuser to be on, 30, 60, 120, or 180 min. There is also a button for different colored lights, bright or dim. I love it!! It's also very pretty.

When I use the diffuser it is on medium heat, low air setting. The stronger the air flow the frizzier the hair. You can use warmth though.

Haven't had this problem, but I do rinse mine every day and wipe clean. Can you see oil build up/residue in your diffuser, if so wipe it out with a cloth, then use an old toothbrush to clear any oil you can see in the bottom. You can also try the following: Do not use thick oils such as vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, myrrh and benzoin in a diffuser unless they are diluted with a thin oil-such as the citruses, eucalyptus or rosemary-or mixed with alcohol (ie.vodka). If oils sit too long in a diffuser, they oxidize and thicken. Also, expressed citrus oils often contain sediment that may clog a diffuser. To clean or unclog it, soak the glass unit in alcohol, then wipe and scrub with tooth brush. Rinse and start using again.

yes, sparingly at first, work your way up to the desired effect. traditionally essential oils shouldnt be heated from their essence. hence using a diffuser

I buy Doterra Essential oils and use all that are labeled for aroma therapy. I am not sure it would matter what kinds of oil you use. The diffuser comes with a measuring cup so you know how much water to fill in and then add a few drops of oil.

Here is a great movie on this diffuser. It talks about how much water to use and tells about the diffuser! Hope it helps :) http://www.plantextractsinc.com/video.php (you may have to copy and paste this in your web address bar)

It all depends on how many of the sections you but oil on. also how many drops you use and how long you run the diffuser. I've never tried the other kind but I really like mine. Another thing to consider is what essential oil you use. Some have a stronger scent

Are you buying the diffuser because you own a baby bliss blow dryer cause that is why I purchased it and it fits perfect but I suggest if you are just looking to buy a diffuser for a different blow dryer not to purchase it. I don't think it is that good. I personally bought a revlon blow dryer that comes with a diffuser for like 15-20 bucks and it's the best diffuser I ever used.

That's all I use it for. I have used it every night since I got it a couple weeks ago and I love it! I have had more expensive diffusers and this one matches up.
