Essential oil diffuser

[Malibu]

I had these on my window sill. Sooty my cat fancied a smell and a stick went in his eye. His eye looked terrible very shortly afterwards and we took him to the vet,
OH explained that we had a smelly thing with sticks.................and the vet finished the sentence for him. It seems it's not the first time he has seen it. His eye is better now after antibiotics and eye drops but I won't buy them any more.

Best warn Mr.bc though....just in case........

Sounds like something that Blownupdolly would enjoy along with her mixing - all those pretty glass bottles she wants to buy

Sounds a great idea, BC, especially when you think of the aroma that you get after spilling vanilla custard, as it fills a room.

You can use veg oil or sunflower oil as a carrier for essential oils also rapeseed oil is good for massages.

You can also refill the liquid plug in's which use a glass bottle with liquid in them and if yiu have one...
A fabreeze car air freshener

That's an excellent suggestion - I have a couple of empty ones and loads of vape oil ponger.

OK, being a bloke..... can someone confirm, I just add essential oil to PG? any ratios here? I don't think I'll use EJMU for mx mixes though!

Going by what was mentioned on that essential oils site, I added 40% vanilla food flavouring (as it's weak, in terms of our flavouring needs) to 60% PG and refillled one of those plug-in pongers.
It's only just started, but seems to be working - there's a subtle niff of vanilla in the back room, now.
If I were using concentrate, I'd experiment with ten drops at a time, I think. Using 40% would be expensive.

So what's the difference between Propylene Glycol & dipropylene glycol, I jst thought I could use Propylene Glycol - PG that I have ???

[Karma]

I've not tried it yet Des but would think that VG would be too thick so PG should be better, that's what I'm going to try when I get round to it!

I did try to make them once with veg oil and it was too heavy to carry the fragrance up the reeds!

I shoul get my premade ones tomorrow, will check the ingredients and post

I fancy one of them electric oil burner bowl thingys.....Wonder if that can be used the same way.....If you know what I mean, it heats up & you put the oil/powder stuff thingy in it.
