What is the correct oil to use? I used the fragrance oil from Yankee Candle but the diffuser goes off after 20 minutes.

I, too, only use therapeutic grade oils (doTERRA) in my diffuser and it runs for approximately 4 hours!

You can only use pure 100% plant oil in these or you will gum up the diffuser that's why is shutting off on you ???use doterra oils

I'm not familiar with Yankee candle oil, I only use DoTERRA essential oils. Maybe Yankee candle oil is too thick???

The best oil to use is a therapeutic grade essential oil. "Fragrance" oils are generally too heavy for a diffuser like this and probably toxic. Therapeutic grade oils disperse easily and actually clear the air, rather than mask odors, like the kind of oil you are using does.Clean the diffuser with a white vinegar and water solution, then begin again. Just do a search for therapeutic grade essential oil, and buy what appeals to you.

I have only used DoTerra Oil and have not had any problems, just a few drops added to the water

I have ordered and used the Harmony Tierra Reed Diffusers. I like the Cashmere scent also. I am satisfied with the refills, it's a money saver and I admire the way they are packaged. Good luck and enjoy.....Willette

I'd buy a different diffuser per the scent. Since it absorbs whatever scent is placed in it, you would need a fresh, new one for a different scent. The plastic bottle you use you can just rinse out.

Well I've used them about 3 times each, the only issue I am finding is that the scent after putting the oil on doesn't last for that long and each time you reuse it the scent doesn't stay as long as the time before. I love the diffuser, I will be looking for a different option when it comes to the pads though

Sorry - mine came off easily. Maybe put it in your freezer for an hour then try it, and if that doesn't work put it in the sun until it's hot then try it. I started using mine without the diffuser and on medium power it's got a beam of the intensity of the diffuser, but just narrower.

I love this diffuser. It takes a good month or so to go through a bottle of oil... maybe even longer, depending on if you have it on constantly. It does make a bit of noise. I have used a lot of diffuser over the years and this is the best one I've found.

For pure essential oils, I personally use 1-2 for a three hour setting. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

You're right! Mine doesn't run the 8 hours either. I've actually stopped using this one and went back to the one by Green Air. It DOES last 8 hours and the oils are diffused better (not sure why). I might use it lot add a nice scent to a room, but still, why would I use this one when the other one works better and I can benefit from the oils better?!

I doubt it. Diffuser use essential oils, like doTERRA. This oil is not an essential oil. I'm interested in how others respond.

Hi Sl, Pyramid essential oil diffuser comes with preset timers of 1, 2, 3 hours and continuous mode. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with plug in timer. However, I will check with our engineer and see if there is a possibility to do that. SmileyDaisy

I use 10 mil essential oils bottle, the diffuser doesn't come with empty bottles. What I do is get the 1oz essential oils and create my own mixes, I used an empty 10mil bottle and works fine. I love the diffuser, I got it about a year ago, use it frequently and works fine! At this point I have several empty bottles and I created many different mixes, just love it!

Don't know. I've tried others but settled on Young Living and distilled water only. I sit diffuser on kitchen counter and other oil left it sticky from droplets. Both tend to leave diffuser hazed on the inside so I clean it often.

I have 2 ZAQ diffusers and one Country Kitchen Ceramic Kettle Stove Oven Oil Warmer. These Items were purchased on Amazon.They all work very well and that is how I use the fragrance oil. The rose petal fragrance is very good reminds me of old fashion rose scent frommy grandma garden. The Lilac fragrance is one of my favorites as well. Hope this answers your questions. Best Regards to you.

Sorry, we used the lavender for my daughter's wedding. We threw it at the end instead of rice, so I have no idea how long the fragrance would last.

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.

I would not use it in a candle as heat does destroy some of the elements of essential oils. I would recommend buying a cold evaporatin diffuser instead. You can buy one that operates with batteries if you don't have an outdoor outlet where you want to use it. However if there is a breeze placement is important.

I love mine and I don't have this issue. It diffuses a smell the entire time. Maybe check the oil grades you use. I use 100% plant grade oils which are strong.
