Is this bottle only for cold water or is it safe to use with essential oils, juice, or water with a few drops of lemon in it?

I would say it is fine for the water and lemon for any type of juice or cold drink. As for the essential oils...well that I don't know. I would write to thermos and ask them directly. Hope that helps a bit.

The whole unit is plastic...the oils are ok because they are being diffused and will not sit in the diffuser indefinitely. While it is true that you should not put the CITRUS oils (such as lemon) in plastic, the other oils are fine. What happens since Lemon is a detoxifier, for instance, it pulls the petroleum products that are in styrofoam or plastic OUT of the container (i.e. detoxifying it). This is why we say to use GLASS for water with lemon EO :) Hope this helps!

This bottle is a bottle meant for cold liquids, as it has a straw and flip cap for drinking, therefore drinking hot liquids through a straw would be an unpleasant experience. Also, this bottle is a single wall stainless steel bottle, and therefore it is not meant for hot liquids. All stainless steel water bottles will become hot when hot water is put in it, so it is not intended for this type of liquid.

Instructions say it can be used for oil,vinegar,lemon or lime juice. I would not try anything thicker.

Yes. The bottle seals tight and will not leak. Keep in mind that if the liquid is cold water will condensate on the outside. A neoprene sleeve will insulate the bottle and keep most moisture inside.

To be honest, I don't really know, as I've never used it for that function (always keep it in a fridge at work). However, I probably wouldn't recommend it on the sole basis of "keeping things cold". It is just a simply stainless steel water bottle...not insulating material or inner linings/pouches. I would guess that water will warm just as quickly in this bottle as in any others.

I love this bottle. It does not leak. Yes it does get condensation on the bottle but I love cold water so I fill it full of ice then add water that way as the ice melts I continue to have cold water all day. Answer here...

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

I wouldn't. That's really not what it was designed for. I really would stick to water for this bottle. You could put a thin liquid like juice in it, but there's so many little places that would have to be cleaned out after each use. It would be a lot of extra work.

Yes, although I use it only for cold liquids. It holds cold temperatures for up to four/five hours. I love this bottle.

Yes, that works perfect. I used super cold water as the tca was stinging my skin and it felt good to cool it.

The bottle says that it is for aromatherapy use, but doesn't say not to ingest it so I am not sure. I know there are recipes out there using essential oils and it's probably ok to use. Maybe you should check out NOW website or call their customer service to get their feedback.

You shake out the oil. It works fine for most things and the bottles do not leak. That said, it's not too hard to pry the hard plastic inserts out of the neck of the bottle and use your own dropper or syringe if you want to.

Directions say use only with water but I don't see any reason why it won't work in juice. Haven't tried it yet myself but at most you just have to wash the bottle a bit better between times.

I use lemon and citrus oils in mine. I have not had any problems. Love my difusser

We only use it for water and never drink from the bottle itself. So far several rinses with hot water before drying and storage have been sufficient.
