Is it possible to add drops of essential oil without damaging the machine?

I never try. But I thought this is good idea to take the bad plastic smell away. The product made in China. The plastic hasbad smell.

No, you can not put essential oil in the water, that will damage the machine. "Water (distilled water) only" shows on manual book.

I suppose so. there is a little plastic tank that you fill up with water where you can probably add essential oils and then you insert it from the back.

I couldn't read the japanese manual so I don't know if I'm using it right either but I always add two drops of lavender oil into my water reservoir and it's been working fine.

I would say yes. I have this unit and see no reason why not. A few drops into the water reservoir would pass through the atomizer with no issue. More than 'a few drops' would not be recommended as the viscocity of the oil would affect atomization. Still, in that case, running it on straight water a time or two would clear it, most likely.

Yes you can, but sparingly. The oil is quite thick and heavy so a tiny bit goes a long way.

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.

You can. 4 to 8 drops added to the water after you've filled the tub. Agitate the water. I added the oils to sweet almond oil, 2 tsp. I'm new to oils still and this was my first bath mix but I have been reading up on them. Do not bathe with photo toxic oils, Bergamot and citrus oils, please do a search yourself to check for others. P.S. Their lavender is fantastic! Used it undiluted on a burn for husband, never hurt. I also put 5 drops and 1 drop of Tea Tree on a tissue before bed and put it in my pillow case and sleep like a baby! Sorry I'm very excited about oils! Hope this helps.

It's manually oiled. I put a drop in mine each day before use and haven't had any problems.

You would want to dilute some peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle with water for that.

you should try a product called nature's miracle. you can buy it online. It works well with machines. i just spray it on and then fill the container with water only.

I don't think I would. There is no separate area for any additional oils and I would think the mechanism would get gummed up after a time. Just my opinion...

you can use aloe gel to dilute the oil along with peppermint oil or eucalyptus oil. Good luck : )

I would say no, the coating should be dry to use this machine. Drop something wet into regular hot oil in a fry daddy.

No, you cannot use essential oils with plastic. You would need glass or aluminum; otherwise, the oils will deteriorate the plastic.

Adding essential oils to the tank has damaged the tank plastic. I would advie against it, and stick to just dripping essential oils onto the dried up Vicks pads.

JP - I'm sure you could, but I wouldn't. This machine is designed for easy clean up and the oil, once cooled can go back into it's original bottle or a bottle of your choosing. Hope this helps. C&KG;

Apparently you can also ozonate oils; but you have to follow their directions very specifically (the booklet that comes with the machine). I have not tried it.It is not for ozonating the air....

There is no manual, and you do have to add oil. The machine is not powerful enough to produce the oil. We were unhappy with this product.

Yes you can, but I'm not sure about the amount since these are very very concentrated oils. It would be best to Goggle for information

I am sure you could, one drop mixed with a couple of drops of a carrier oil might be nice. I am just not sure if it would release any toxins in the air because I am not sure how natural this is.
