Vicky_CO Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Okay I put 20 drops of an oil mix in a burner it was a 50/50 FO/DPG How long is suppose to smell for?So not impressed with how long that 20 drops lasted but it smelled great and was strong.

Debra Phelps Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I use a 1/4 oz. in mine. I know that my nose doesn't smell it if it is the normal amount. That seems to last much longer. I also found that if it is in wax it last longer. And water. I am not fond of DPG. Just my opinion. Happy 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks for the info. I really am looking for a time period to shoot for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I want to know this as well. I am about ready to start testing oils and have no idea what would be considered good -- time wise for the scent to last. People will start comparing them to other companies they have used for great warming oils, and I would want to match up. I have never even bought oil to use in a warmer from anywhere before.

MissMary Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is not a timed thing, but I always found that roughly 2-3 hours for a strong scent and it faded away by the 5th hour with the commercial stuff. I have ZERO clue whether this is good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 I knew I should be disappointed 2 hours after I started it up it was pretty much dead. Back to square one. Off to try a different combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovescents Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I knew I should be disappointed 2 hours after I started it up it was pretty much dead. Back to square one. Off to try a different combo.I use undiluted FO in my electric oil warmer that has a dimmer (so I can control the heat). 2 dropperful (2 ml) of FO with the dimmer set on low will last me a whole day. When the scent starts to fade and I still have some oil in the glass plate, I increase the light intensity which also increases the scent throw. I love it this way.
