Is the flow too strong to pour only 1 tsp of oil at a time? Is it slow enough to use the counting method? Thanks!

It has a 2 sided pourer, one larger than the other and it works perfectly to use counting method.

I usually add on top of that, because by the time it gets that low, I feel like most of the oil has evaporated, but I enjoy mixing the oils any how. If you don't wish to mix the oils, than you do have to waste the water! Also, I don't always have water left in the chamber, and I'm not sure why and when that happens! I love my doTERRA diffuser!

Don't pour fast. Slowly and it doesn't come out of the top. I haven't had a problem with that.

Yes, works great. But don't over fill it, else it wont work right. It will make the oil level to high and then the pressure valve wont work right and you could be in trouble. I'd say 4 pieces of chicken max.

HI: 50 drops sounds like a lot. However, it would probably depend on what oil you are using. I get mine at Hobby Lobby. And I don't measure. I add some (a little at a time) so that it doesn't get too strong. I've done this the many times that I've made the soap and I've always been pleased with the results. But, I don't like a real strong smell. I prefer a more delicate fragrance. Happy soaping!

It should run until all the water/oil mixture has been diffused, and it's much longer than 5 mins. Just make sure you don't fill it past the designated line.

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

I use 75 micron as a final strainer, but I start with a 200 or 400 depending on how much junk is in it. If there isn't a lot of stuff floating in it, 75 is fine, otherwise it clogs up. If your only filtering one gallon, though, I would use rubber bands to hold a coffee filter in a funnel, and just pour in a little at a time. Getting the oil warm(not hot) helps, too.

It uses a lot oil very quickly. That is one of the reasons I chose to give it a negative review. I have found if I mix 1 part oil to 3 parts fractionated coconut oil it helps. This is not my favorite diffuser. Turning it to the low setting helps, but not much.

It's concentrate for mixing. Depending on what you are treating, it is used at pretty low concentrations; 1 tsp/gal.

The only time it drips down the side is when I'm filling it and I miss. As far as the oil, no it usually hesitates before it starts to pour. The vinegar comes out at a decent speed and I've yet to have it come out so fast I drench my salad. I've had this almost a year.

I do, I do! Lol, I use it almost every morning for 15-20 minutes. Our house is a bit cool in the mornings so it's hard when I scoop it out with a soup spoon, but after about 20 seconds it's all liquid. In case you haven't done oil pulling before make sure not to swallow ANY of it and don't spit it out in your sink. It will cause your sink to clog when it gets under 74 degrees. I spit mine out in the toilet. Hope this helps, and my unsolicited advice is always free. ;)

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I never timed it, but it's 1000w, while many are 1500 watts.. The fastest I've seen just for heating water is to buy an induction burner and a separate pot. If you are looking for speed specifically, it's a 1000w, and the temp setting I believe cycles on and off so it doesn't overshoot the setting. Both these flow things up a little. It probably is slightly slower, then the pour is slow too because of the little spout.. HOWEVER, I find the convenience of the accurate temp control trumps a slightly slower boil time, because its ready when you are. But if you are not specifically wanting the skinney spout for pour over coffee, or using for those tiny tea pots, get the regular spout. .

oil strengths are different. start with 1 in a full tank and work your way up to what you feel is appropriate. We use 2-3 drops only. I like it lighter and wife likes it a bit stronger. hope this helps

depends on how the oil is temp wise I have noticed warmer faster, also main thing is what tube you can use for the extraction the smaller ones take for ever. the bigger ones about 5/10 for 5qt oil. also you need constant air pressure to this to make it work, theres no charging this and taking it some where with no air supply. YOU NEED SHOP AIR running all times to make it work. This thing sucked to buy kinda high priced, but after a week you for get about the price. This thing works awesome would recommend to buy it. We use it about once every 2 weeks and it is just fun to use. Saves a lot of messy spills from when we just used the turkey baster way.

I own this and tested today to see how many drops you need for this to work properly. It took 50 drops! The glass tubing that connects to the bottom of the container (the bottom of the upside down L shape) on the inside has a little hole in it. For this to work properly (you will see mist if working properly although you need to look closely to see the mist) you need to fill the oil over the hole until you see the oil suck up into it. If there isn't any oil in the bottom piece while it is running there isn't enough oil. This is quite a bit of oil to use although once it gets going it will last a while. I haven't tested how long until you need to add more oil. If you are using the same oil each time you only need to top it off but if you start with a new oil you are going to need 50 drops to get it going again.
