How many drops of oil do you add to the water?

I think it depends entirely upon your oil's (quality), and your personal preference. Personally, just a drop/two, due to the oil flowing from the dispenser lid works wonders for me! =)

I add 3 to 5 drops of oil to water.....sometimes that is too strong if u use strong smelling scents like oregano or pine scents but 3-5 drops is perfect for lemon and lavender.

No, there is one well for both. You put the water in up to the mark then add the oil.

I have used water instead of the included oil since I got it. Still works great!

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.

My recipe called for 2 droppers full but I ended up using more. I used some that I bought at Michael's so it wasn't very strong. I wonder if you would need less if you used a higher quality oil like doTerra? It's a matter of personal preference I would assume. Start with a little and add til it smells the way you want it. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I use one dropper full up to twice daily. I also apply sunscreen during the day.

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.

The water & the oil go into the same well. Fill with water & add your drops of your essential oil.

I only put 3or4 drops in 120ml of water....I use good quality doTerra oils.

I don't believe that you can. The water reservoir is below the filter, so there really is no where to put the oils so that they will be dispersed with the water.

I put in 8 drops and have used it to the longest setting 3 days in a row. I am going to clean it out today and put in a different oil. :)

I would start with 25 drops of oil. Make sure you do not fill past the tiny glass tubes inside the diffuser bottle because the oil will get into the mechanics of the motor and cause the diffuser to malfunction.

Good question....i ended up solely putting the oil directly into the water...the aroma is stronger that way

I have 1200 square feet on my main floor (open floor plan), and 8 drops of oil added to the water are sufficient for us to be able to smell it throughout the space. I actually have a second one (different brand) that I use in the master BR since the door is generally closed.

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!

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.

I put the essential oil in with the water in the reservoir. I usually use 2-3 drops.
