No, but you can use food grade glycerin. You need the alcohol or glycerin to extract the herbs properties.

Ideally, yes. For best results, you're supposed to use distilled water (which can be picked up at the supermarket for very cheap.) However, I never used it, and mine still works fine almost 4 years later. So it's your choice - I'm not confident it will make a difference.

Yes. I'm reading the ingredients on the package and the first three listed, in order, are: water, alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol. Hope that helps

You can use both,and the cubes work fine as well with alcohol,comes as shown,no cubes. Note" Buy alcohol from homedepot good prices,buy the green can 95% burns clean and hotter.

I just use regular water but I assume distilled water will reduce the amount of chemical build-up in the long run.

I have used it when I'm in a rush and my boiled water has run out. So, yes, you can. I believe that it's recommended to use distilled water.

TIP: If you worried about steam from the water and the flavour, add a bottle of beer to the water, or if it is chicken some lemon juice or white wine. I personally would not pay this kind of money for this sort of product.

i use both. water alone will work, but adding ice makes a big difference. i'm very happy with the purchase.

I would recommend that you that you contact the manufacturer. I have heard that putting anything but plain water has adverse effects. My son-in-law tried white wine. It was very messy.

Yes it's better to use distilled water. It's a cleaner water and it won't clog it up.

I don't know about alcohol. We have found, however, that the more fat in the recipe, the longer it takes. If it is mostly water like a fruit sherbet, it can be done in 30 minutes, otherwise close to an hour. Not sure about the temp -- I'm sure it is below freezing -- but the question is really how many btus it can transfer out of the substance in a given period. It may work but it will definitely take longer.

Great question, Shaun. You can use only water but it will not clean as well as using formula and water.

I don't see why not. It's liquid and that will help you to stay hydrated which is important.

Yes, You can but I've only use vinegar to descale/clean the unit. I use water but distilled water is recommended and best.

Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to it and run it for a few mins; then pour any residual alcohol out. Try not to use water as it will likely leave water spots.
