Can you use Citrus and Citronella oils with this? Have seen a couple diffusers say not to because they're corrosive.

Yes you can, I am using lemon, wild orange and breath (a blend of oils). I have not seen a problem yet. And yes I have seen those that you cannot use citrus oils, but so far so good.

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

i think that would definitely work. they sell specific essential oil diffusers online, but I have just used my plug-in tart burner (typically used for wax potpourri). The heat from the light bulb underneath heats up the oil and gives off the diffused smell. I use 2 Tablespoons of water and add 3-5 drops of the germ fighter oil! Hope this helps!

YEP! I've been doing it for a week now. Just don't do citrus.. I use only Young Living (I won't get into an argument about purity here, but I am quite certain of the purity of my oils) - I filled the bottle with water, then added 10 drops of EO, then shake it before each time that you fill the atomizer. Works WONDERFULLY. I was the one walking around Convention this week, using it - I bet I sold 100 of them. :)

Its best used in a diffuser. I have a humidifier but it doesn't recommend using oils in it. The quooz lull diffuser works great with the oils. Good luck

I use it will Doterra oils only. I haven't even used the lavender scent it came with. It works good with my oils. I do not leave it in the diffuser if I'm not using it as Doterra recommends only glass and this is plastic.

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.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

That I am not real sure of. I do know they have diffusers for that purpose, and some are up there in price. Some humidifiers says not to add anything but water or if they add scents it is made for that. If you would like to try on an old humidifier that would be the best to do. Thrift stores carry those for cheap and you will not have to spend alot of money if it ruins the humidifier. You know the Vicks thing you can put the med rub in the cup, well that could be another option as well. I have tried to figure out another way to use those essential oils for aromatherapy that is what I buy essential oils. When you buy those oils make sure you can use them for whatever you bought them for. (food grade, skin safe (no reactions on skin), and will not harm the body thru inhalation. Hope I helped!

No. This diffuser just lightly diffuses moisture into the air...perfect foressential oils...If you need more moisture, it is better to do so with a humidifier! Hope this helps you!

We have been using the diffuser for all kinds of essential oils including orange, grapefriut and mandarin. It helps to clean every couple of weeks with 50/50 white vinegar and water. Let it sit for an 1/2 hr or better and wipe out with clean cloth. Great little diffuser.

As far as my experience, I have used several different oils...lavender, lemon, Thieves, etc. with great results.

Depends on the brand and filter setup. Generally, it's best to use a diffuser for essential oils though.

It's best to use essential oils in a diffuser. You can also make a room freshener spray mixing about 18 drops of essential oil with 4 ounces of distilled water and 1 teaspoonful of vegetable glycerin in a glass bottle. Some use vodka, 90% rubbing alcohol or witch hazel instead of glycerin.

Get a diffuser for your oils. I wouldn't think adding it to the salt rocks would be good. Liqued melts the salt.

I don't believe you can use fragrance oils only essential oils. Fragrance oils will clog the device along with citrus essential oils.

Yes you can - although oil enthusiasts would love you to beleive no so you buy a small diffuser also ... We do it all the tine for years here and no issues.

I haven't had any problems with the Citronella, but the only thing I can think of is any type of concentrated citrus oil is will be rather corrosive just like eating citrus and the enamel on your teeth can be damaged
