I took mine and placed it on my vents with the heater on. You can place it outside if its warm and wait then place into a widemouth container like i did.

three options - leave out on your stove top that will melt it slowly, put in a pot of boiled water, squeeze out an amount and microwave. I recommend the first two. meg

I mix it with 1/2 cup coconut oil. Water. It was a perfect color. Not too bright. No purple. You can youtube how to mix it. I made it kinda thick. I would add about a half cup water, go from there in what consistency you prefer.

The plastic housing would cause the oils to degrade. I've always wished they would be compatible too! You can mix them with a small amount of water in a dark glass spray bottle and manually diffuse into the room (even water will degrade the oils , so mix in small batches for quicker use)

Coconut oil holds for days so far as long as you keep the sides dry when filling and capping and don't trap any excess pressure inside the pill to push out the oil. I put them in the fridge to set them (not sure it helps), and with coconut oil under 76f its solid. With A/C at 72f I don't see any melting problems depending on what you dissolved in the oil but most popular things raise melting temps to 77 to 80f. I use a hair dryer to up the temp for filling. about .5 cc of coconut oil, scale shows .5g (with cap .6) of oil. Fridge no freezer to get below 70 then out. No leaks or bursts so far but I only do days at a time for myself.

It appears to be a hard plastic. I think it is advised to not put oils in a plastic water bottle, because the oils will contribute to the breakdown of the plastic, but I would think that with this diffuser it wouldn't be a problem since 1. you aren't drinking out of it, and 2. the oil/water solution doesn't sit in the diffuser as long as it would sit in a water bottle. Hope this helps!

No problem with the plastic. Are you using pure oil? A lot of the cheap oils are cut with chemicals.

Yes, the oil I purchased is cold pressed and can be used in its present state, or you can warm it up to melt it.

Strain cooled oil and put into bottle/jug and refrigerate. I never used it for more than 30 days. You might contact the company producing the oil and ask to be SAFE.

I just mix mine with coconut oil. Use a double boiler to melt, mix, and put it in the fridge until a consistency like pudding but a little denser. Mix with a beater and it will be extra fluffy!

Wait for the oil to cool and scoop it out ..we use an old Tupperware container .. messy job and one downside of this

Oil up the pan with what ever type of cooking oil you like to use ( I am a coconut oil user) heat up the pan to cooking temp and make sure you don't burn the oil. Let the pan cool. Rinse the pan and your ready to use!

Use a flame, or something hot enough to melt it. Treat it as you would nylon or poly rope, paracord, etc.

Well I sometimes pour a tiny amount of coconut oil in the palm of my hand and a drop of doterra essential oil and mix then apply it topically. I also buy glass roller ball containers and put it various mixes of doterra essential oils then fill the container to the top with coconut oil. The coconut oil helps tone down the doterra essential oils so I can apply them topically to my sensitive skin and my kids skin. I look for roller ball recipes online like on Pinterest or I ask one of my up lines what they do. I'm not sure what you mean by how to keep separate but you should always keep essential oils in some kind of glass container because it can leach into plastic and the oil will linger. Once you mix the coconut oil with an essential oil I'm not aware of any way to seperate them. hope that helps!

You should be able to scoop it out with a spoon or portion scoop. It's harder then most fats like shortening or butter but not rock hard. It should melt in very hot water

Unless you gently heat the contents of the can (as in a pan of warm to hot water -- not over a burner!) the contents are separated. There are solids, and liquids in there that need to combine. So if it is warm enough for the coconut oil to be liquid, you can shake the can to mix up the contents, and pour some out. I don't see that happening much, in our 70-75 degree homes. So remove from the can, and blend. When you add it to coffee, it will liquefy. I keep my opened coconut milk in the fridge in a wide-mouth jar. Though it doesn't last long.

Probably a bar recipe. My recipe has Shea butter, unfractionated coconut oil and bees wax which are solids at room temp. Thus these are liquid when melted, pour into containers and then solidify at room temp.
