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.

Yes. That is what it is for. But bought this in December and used it 3 times and quit working

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!

I use min for essential oils ..i made a recipe that was to thick and it didn't spray right but after I made it thinner it worked fine ..

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 have had no problems with mine and use it almost every night with essential oils. Use tap water.

Can you use oils in an aromatherapy diffuser? If you can then the answer is yes...

I use filtered water from the refrigerator. I use Doterra Essential Oils only

No essential oils. And one of my two stopped working as well, not long after purchase after it ran out of water in the middle of the night.

yes, I really don't have to clean it. I don't use oily essential oils, ones that have added oil. Just use clean essential oils and it will clean itself.

I use oils topically and in a diffuser. Be careful with topical application as some oils are classified as "hot," which means they can irritate skin and tissue. They need to be diluted with a carrier oil. Just go back to their web site or google each oils before using until you get to know them. Internal use of essential oils is controversial. Some companies recommend internal use, but many clinical people advise against it. Again do your homework, thoroughly, particularly before ingesting essential oils.

Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes. I have used tea tree and breathe easy essential oil. Just know that the unit comes with pads in an enclosed pouch with the menthol already added (so you just put the pad in and it's ready to go). What I did was waited until my pad got older and the menthol scent faded out...then I added my essential oil. I know you can buy seperate pads at Walmart, but I'm not sure if they are filled with the menthol (which is pretty strong). Or you can buy the makeup pads and cut them and use them to absorb your essential oil. I like the unit though. It has a lot of potential:-)! Well, I can only speak from personal experience. Yes.

You can use most any essential oils. You can use any scent of essential oil.

I don't know how the oils are extracted. But I bought the set of oils & wish I had purchased oils with a single scent. The mixed scents are rather odd. I say you can use single scents to mix as you please.

I only use them in a microderm machine and I have never heard of using essential oils with them. Maybe if you are making a manual microderm solution

Essential should not be diluted with anything unless you do not care for the quality and healing properties of oils you use. You can purchase cheaper oils that used mostly for aromas only, so you can save money that way. The good quality oils that are made for external and internal use are purer therefore more expensive. The noise on this diffuser is pretty loud when it diffuses, otherwise it is soundless.

Neither you just oil . I believe there was some instruction with. I purchased mine a couple of years ago and I use it every night with lavender oil.

Yes, I use everything from essential oils to regular scented oils. It works great.

No, you can only add oils to it. there is a small oil "container" that goes underneath the whole unit. I suggest getting essential oils from Eden's Garden (right here on Amazon) eucalyptus or peppermint, they will do the same as Vicks would.
