I think I ruined my previous machine by a different manufacturer by adding too many drops of essential oil. How many drops should I add?

After a water change I'll add 8 drops. The rest of the time I add 4-6 daily along with water

We recommend using Peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil at a 3-5% dilution rate, since it is so strong and may irritate the skin if applied neat. At a 3-5% dilution rate, you can add as much of one oil as you'd like (ex. 12 drops of Peppermint and 8 drops of Rosemary per 1 ounce of carrier oil). 3% dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier5% dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier

If you are applying it to your skin, you can add 1-2 drops of the essential oil per teaspoon of a carrier oil like sweet almond oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil.

Add a few drops of oil prior each use to the air inlet or install an automatic oiler to your system

I use essential oils in my unit and it works fine. It is a small unit, so just a drop or two of oil is all you need. I use the unit next to my desk - to humidify the local area and be sure to clean as per the instructions after each use.

I use Spectrum Organic Coconut oil, but there are many brands to choose from. I usually "eyeball" my oil mixtures, but try about 4 tbl. spoons of c. oil + 3-4 drops of essential oil. These oils come with a wonderful booklet with tons of information! Also, this company sells carrier oils as well- lots to choose from with lots of info!

I used an essential eucalyptus oil in it. Not more than half a dropper worth, but it was enough to basically corrode the plastic on the inside of the humidifier. This was my fault! Not at all blaming this otherwise stupendous product, as I just bought a replacement, but I essentially (pun?) wrecked my previous one. Learn from my mistake.

That depends on the quality of your essential oil. We usually do 3-5 drops of Do-terra (brand) and get amazing results.

I do it all the time, in my case, up to 8 drops of eucalyptus oil mixed into one capful of water. No harm to the unit or heating area at all. Works fine.

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

I mix a little of the Lavendar Essential Oil with Almond Oil (use whatever oil you usually use). You could use just the lavender, but I think it would be used up very quickly and it's expensive. Experiment with small amounts and see what you like best.

Yes, you need to add water to the fill line and then add about 3-4 drops of your favorite essential oil. Adjust the drops of oil up or down to your liking.

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.

I've been using the same one for a couple of months now. I just add doTerra essential oil drops every 3-4 days. I don't yet know how long I can use this one. :)
