Does this use water or just straight essential oil? Some reviews mention water, but I'm not clear on it...

Well my wife is using this not me but she says, the Diffuser device has a line you fill water up to. But the essential oil bottle should have a ratio of drops to use in a certain amount of water so read the info on the essential oil bottle and add the recommended amount of drops to the volume of water contained at the diffuser's water level limit line. Of course you want to use distilled or reverse osmosis water so you don't get so much mineral build up in the diffuser reservoir.

It uses water but I wouldn't recommend anymore because it sticks and is hard to clean. Love the scent it emits!

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

Yes it works very well; much better than oil that has been diluted with water. It is a very thin oil.

I love this stuff , I highly recommend it. It's all natural essential oils. It really works for me inside a diffuser or humidifier. That way it's coming out in to the air along with the warm air. That's how I use mine others may do different. Hope this helps.

I use just the oil. If it is REALLY humid, I still get frizzy but it does help.

It's a cold process. I use filtered tap water. We like it for oil diffusing. I can see the vapor, but for severe colds, etc. we rely on a stronger humidifier.

I have had this one longer than a few months. I love it and love using my oils in it. I also like the fact you can turn on or off the light. I do like mine very much. Hope this helps. (I ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER IN MINE-no tap water)!

We have hard water here, I just use bottled water to diffuse my doTera Essential Oils. I love my diffusers and oils.!

I have found that it reacts differently to certain oils. Make sure you are using 100% essential oils. Adding only distilled water to prevent mineral deposit is important. When I've experienced an early shut off, I add more water and use oils like lemongrass or geranium. They seem to cut more oily types of essentials.

No it doesn't use water. I would not recommend buying it. I bought one, really liked it, used it for 6 weeks, and it quit working. I went on line to Amazon and told them it quit working, they, would only replace a part of the cost and that was if I paid the shipping. I won't buy any products from Amazon anymore, except a book, since they don't stand behind their returns...... Lilly Keller

There is a brush that comes with it. I sweep the brush across the area where the oil goes. Then I fill up the little pitcher that is included with straight tap water and run it for a cycle. This has worked well for me.

i find it works well with jojoba oil . but alone with water, its undetermined .

Yes but I dilute it a bit with some other oils, either jojoba or olive oil. Jojoba is best. U can use it straight but it will burn and irritate a bit

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

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.
