I would like to use these to blend oils, such as argan, jojoba, castor, tamanu, grapeseed, and sea buckthorn. Some are thicker than others (Castor). Will they work okay with a thicker oil? And, how do you clean them? Should I even try? Oil is difficult...

i don't think these would be conducive to cleaning. the tip is of such a fine caliber that it would be difficult to adequately flush out and really clean. these would work more as a one-time-use pipette. if you are looking for a reusable option, then i would search for a medical or laboratory grade GLASS dropper with a removable head to allow for complete cleaning. hope that helps. :-)

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

Castor oil is good for everything !!! I assume you can use anything to wash it out but, I wouldn't wash it out.

Yes. We use doTerra oils which are great! You can order them on mydoterra.com/wilsonoils

Yes, we have used them in lamp oil and citronella oil. We did have trouble with the oil making the wick so slippery that it would fall into the bottle. We have since replace with a different style wick

Yes....fine for things like yogurt and sauce-type condiments. Not sure I would use them for oil-based salad dressings though.

I'm sure they would blend nicely in lotion and possibly soap. I blend a few drops of essential oils with coconut oil and it works well. I know from experience, it takes a ton of oil for candle making and is not worth the time or effort.

I've never used one of these as a diffuser, only just for the original use which is to keep brown sugar fresh! What an idea though, how creative! Terra Cotta is porous so I'd imagine it would soak up the oil, but you would never be able to wash all that oil and aroma out of it to use it in food after that.

These are high quality oils from a great company. I'd use the oils to flavor natural tooth paste (something im spitting out ) but not to cook with and eat. You're better off getting dry lavender flowers and grinding them in a coffee grinder for baking or tea and a tiny bit goes a long way.

I use mine with ANY Young Living Oils. I do notice that a few tend to stain the middle of the cover but that doesn't bother me at all. p.s. - I have several diffusers and this one is my favorite!

I am not sure..they have worked for my hand sanitizer that includes essential oils but cooking oils, depending, have a different viscosity. Sorry I could not be more help!

You can only use pure 100% plant oil in these or you will gum up the diffuser that's why is shutting off on you ???use doterra oils

I have used the sprayers for Olive Leaf Extract and Poo-Pouri which are both quite thick liquids, so suspect Olive Oil and the like would not be a problem.

Definitely yes! Jojob is one of a few carrier oils that work well for beard oil. I use this to make beard oil for my business.

Hi, I assume you can use the Young Living Oils, although I'm NO expert! It's my understanding those are of the highest quality and similar to the ones I use (from Do Terra). I love this diffuser, but it is somewhat loud. If you don't mind the 'white noise' it's perfect, but if you want a silent one, I might search through the reviews for another model. It comes with 2 bottles and attachments so you an always pour the oils into those to attach (or mix). I have to say, I go through my bottles pretty quickly! It's hard to estimate, as the other commenter says, but I'd say even on the lower out-puts you'll go through a bottle in a few days!

I used them in my homemade hair oils. Not sure how they would do in soaps. They are for external use only.
