How to Use An Essential Oil Burner

- Oil burners are a great way to make a room smell nice, whilst also providing some health benefits which vary depending on the essential oil you choose. In the video, I used frankincense essential oil which is known for its ability to reduce feelings of anxiety, stimulate the immune system, and more.
This specific oil burner is made of soapstone and features intricate carvings as part of its design. These little functional ornaments look great on display and can enhance your decor. When in use, oil burners do get very hot and so you should ensure you place it on a heatproof coaster of some sort to avoid burning your surfaces. As it is hot you should also avoid touching or moving it once it is lit.
Warning: you should never take any essential oils orally and should always keep them out of reach of children. If swallowed seek medical help immediately. Never leave lit candles unattended.

So glad I watched this. Didn't know to add water, and didn't think to put a coaster under the burner but both make sense when you think about it.
Thanks for helping me avoid a house fire!!
Glad that our video helped you, and thanks for your valuable comment. :)
I just learned the hard way a few days ago. Wish I watched this first. Thanks for being so thorough.
Now how can i get the raised wood ring to go away on my table? (nervous inquiry)
Same here
Omg same here. I didn't know this either n yes it does make sense🤗
Me either i just used the oil to i just bought one few days ago and i didnt know u could use any tealight candle even though i was ahead of time buying any tealight candle including the scented ones
Hoorah for a straightforward explanation of just what you need to know - no flannel or puff. Thank you! :)
Glad it was helpful!
If you want an instant burst of fragrance then add boiling water out the kettle its easier to pour as well
Thank You!
Thanks for commenting, good idea :)
I just ordered one and I'm glad to watch this before my oil burner arrives.
Glad you found this video helpful, do let me know how you get on with your oil burner :)
My burner arrives tomorrow and I wanted to make sure I used it right and this video was perfect. Thanks!
Glad the video helped, how are you getting on with your oil burner? :)
You want cinnamon leaf oil..? I can give you
Thanks for the short and easy explanation ☺️
Hiii! You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the lesson. That is why my oil started smoking. Now it will be safe to use.

I once had an oil burner and didn’t know how to use it till it broke. Now I’ve got a new one and I’m going to try this technique 😍
Glad I could help, have you tried it yet? How did it go? 😊
@@CarvedCulture yes, I tried it with a lavender essential oil and it worked very well🙂😍. Thank you for this method!
@@kwetsephetla3597 Lavender essential oil is my favourite, so relaxing, enjoy! :)
How did it broke?
I never knew I’m suppose to add water lol I always just used the oil alone lmao
Lmaoo me too I never added water before it doesn’t dilute the fragrance
Does this oil evaporating actually make your room smell good? I had an electrical diffuser and it doesn’t work anymore for some reason. I was wondering if switching to the oil burner is a good choice?
@@apotato513 yes definitely, the heat of the candle evaporates the oil, which then leads to vaporisation, which leads to the fragrance dancing its way around the room. The smell will travel quicker in a small room
Me too!!! Hahahhahaa
I did this and the oil start sparking. So I really wouldn't advise this.
I saw the burner in store and was wondering what is it for now I can buy it tomorrow and use it❤
Your candle is beautiful 💜
Thank you 😊
Thanks for this, I am getting one of these ceramic oil burners in the mail today from etsy and I was not sure if you added water ~ have a magical day!!
That's exciting, what do you think of the oil burner? ❤️
Thanks for this tutorial I didn't know what it's used for
You are very welcome, happy to help 😊
same i bought one at the dollar tree
Thank you so much for this ! 👍 🇬🇧
You are very welcome 😊
Very helpful- I made the mistake of not adding water and not using a coaster.
Glad you found the video helpful, make sure to subscribe to see new videos :)
I thought I was the only one lol
How do we proceed when we stop? Pour water off, and wipe it with something or dishwash as one would wash a cup?
I treated myself to an oil burner today. I got a tiny homemade wax melt. Its going to smell lush! I will remember to add the water didnt know that. I need some oils. I have aromatherapy oils but not essential. Thats my next treat I think. Thanks for sharing. Ps love the flower candle. 👍
That sounds lovely, homemade wax melts are a great way to add fragrance to your home. I’m glad I was able to help you with your oil burner! 😊
@@CarvedCulture thank you kindly
I have electric oil burners that emote really well, but I went through so much oil, the smell was extremely powerful and it burned the oil to a crispy wafer in the burner. I always thought adding water would evaporate the oil faster. I'm going to try this.
You will find that you use much less oil with this type of oil burner and adding water doesn’t dilute it, it just stops it burning on the bottom. 😊
I use an electric burner. No candle smoke or messing around. I've been using coconut oil to dilute. The fragrance of my essential oil fades, probably due to going nose blind quite fast.
Tip. Oil will clog your electric diffuser. Just use water and essential oils 👍
Thanks a lotttttt...
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for the vdeo. how do u clean the burners after use because they get really messy. Could you please share some tips. Thanks
Hi, from the 28th we are going to be making videos all about essential oil burners and how to clean it is going to be one of the first videos that we we make so please make sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss a video 😊
Thanks🙏👍
You’re welcome 😊
I never knew about the water. Wondered why it didn't last and burned so fast. Lol Thanks so much!
You're not alone, a lot of people didn't know about the water and I guess it's because the manufacturers typically do not give instruction manuals with these things. Anyways, your welcome, I am glad that we could help you 😊
Just found out after many years too Smh Lol🤦
What makes it worst is not only was we wasting our money by burning just the oils- bottles finishing much faster, we werent even getting the full therapeutic effect because heat destroys the Molecular structure of the the plant oils that supposed to stimulate your olfactory nerve.
The water helps to still keep structure intact while evaporating
Thank you for sharing, I didn't think about the waste of money and the oil compounds breaking down!
Can you use the max cubes with this, like with one or two cubes?
If you are referring to wax melts, then yes you can :)
I have a bigger oil burner (11 cm diameter base). Sadly I can't smell anything which is probably because I only use 1 tealight candle (same size as yours) and it doesn't provide enough heat to vaporise the oil. Would you suggest buying a larger candle or should I use 2-3 tealights at the same time? Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply, I would definitely recommend a bigger candle, it should do the trick. Do you have any updates on this?
@@CarvedCulturethank you great question I'm glad you asked. I wonder the same!
Hi there, do you know how many times the water & oil mixture can be reburned?
For example if I burn it for an hour one night, can I use the same mixture the next couple nights too?
Thankyou!
Hey you can burn it until it evaporates, however if you leave the essential oil in the oil burner over time the scent will fade
I did not know the difference between aromatherapy oil and essential oils. What is the difference? I have used both for scent on myself and diffuser and no harmful effects but it would be great to know. Thanks!
That is a great question, typically essential oils are highly concentrated plant compounds that are obtained from leaves, bark, and flowers. They are very potent and should be used with caution, it's recommended to avoid contact directly with the skin unless mixed with a carrier oil, it should be diluted in an oil burner, etc. Massage oils however have already been mixed with a carrier and are composed of different ingredients, they can be made with natural essential oil but sometimes contain fragrance oils which are synthetically made. The types of essential oils found in massage oils are normally oils that promote relaxation 😊
How does that brand of frankincense smell? I have three different brand of frank and the one I really like is RHJY as it is different than the others.. The RHJY smells very incense, religious, temple-like while the other two smell more sweet. Looking for more non-sweet like the RHJY but the seller has vanished..
I haven't had too much experience with Frankincense oil but from what I remember it had a sweet smell that you described. The company 'Buff and butter' seems to have vanished as well, have you tried the frankincense essential oil from Holland and Barrett as they are usually quite good 😊
Hi! I have this too, but for some reason over time, the oil stopped smelling(?) or it stopped giving out scents. Do you know what could be the cause for this?
Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Ensure you're using high-quality, pure essential oils as they impact their longevity and effectiveness. Also, check that the heat source in your burner is functioning correctly; inadequate heating may hinder scent release. Hope this helps!
I find the water/oil mix evaporates quite quickly, do we just top it up until, when...?
You can top it up with more essential oil but should be careful because it is flammable, and adding too much could be dangerous or harmful to health. If you are sure that the essential oil has evaporated then you could add a few more drops; the scent should last up to 2 hours in the room although you will get used to the smell, we would recommend only using the oil burner for a maximum of 4 hours.
And then there was me who put oil on the candle.....
Thanks a lot for this video
Definitely wouldn't recommend that but we all have to learn somewhere. The reason I made this video is because when I saw essential oil for the first time I had no idea how to use it 😊
Was about to do that too, glad i decided to find out how to do it properly 🔥
wow this whole time I've been burning the oils straight in the bowl no water. No wonder the oil use to get goopy and stuck on the bottom.
To be honest I did the exact same thing for years, and its only in the mistakes that we learn. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Do i need to add water if i use loose sage leaves on there? I want to use it to burn some loose sage leaves.
To be honest, I have never tried burning leaves directly as this is usually used for essential oil, if you do try it please let me know I'd love to know how it goes 😮
I was mixing the essential oil with coconut oil and burning it that way, but I want to know after the essential oil evaporates can I reuse the coconut oil?
Mixing essential oil with coconut oil sounds like a good idea but not sure how safe it is? How was it? Did it start to burn? If so the oil would break down and start to smoke. If not you could probably add it with more essential oil after the scent has gone but you should not reuse the coconut oil for anything other than for use with the oil burner as it could be harmful. To be honest though, I don't know about using coconut oil, it might go bad.... I will have to experiment and get back to you 😊
Is it normal when the heat of the candle starts boiling the aroma. Essential oils won't burn right? Also for how long do we keep the lamp burning ?
Hi!! Yes, it's normal for the candle's heat to intensify the fragrance of essential oils without boiling or burning them, as they should evaporate to spread their aroma. For burning time, you can begin with 15-30 minutes and adjust to your liking and room size, but please supervise the burner when it's on. Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
I heard you shouldn't heat orange oil too hot over other oils. Is this true and if so why?
I've not heard that before but I could imagine that it's true since orange oil is known to cause skin irritation in some people.
Ok ,am i stupid? When i add water it boils so you will have a mess everywhere... i don't have the same burner but a glass one. Can that be the difference?
Hey! Not at all! It sounds like your glass burner heats differently. Try using less water or lowering the heat if possible to prevent boiling. Each burner is unique, so a little adjustment might be needed. Let me know if this helps. :)
Can you use an essential oil burner for other things besides oils?
We have heard this a few times now and are definitely interested in experimenting with what you can use one for :)
I use wax melts
@@cocobutt3r331 We love using wax melts, what are your favourite scents?
I breathed in oil from an oil burner and they did not use the water but straight oil and now I can hardly swallow and it feels much like strep throat without the glass! Burned :(
Essential oil is very strong and can be extremely harmful to health if not used correctly. It should always be diluted for any type of aromatherapy. If your symptoms worsen do not hesitate to contact a doctor, hope your feeling better ❤
@@CarvedCulture thank you so much for caring and commenting even💜 I can’t stop crying 😭
@@Standownevil No problem at all, how come you are crying? 😢
@@Standownevil girl are you alive? Please respond 😭
how long does it take for the room to smell?
That very much depends on how much oil you use, the size of the room, and how big your oil burner. Based on average use and using a strong smelling essential oil like Lavender, Citrus or Eucalyptus the room will take on the smell within a few minutes.
Welp, I wish I watched this before trying to do it on my own, cuz I poured a ton of oil in and now it's smoking and burning 👍👍👍👍
No problem, mistakes is how we learn, keep learning, your amazing!
Essential oil can be use in electronic fast burner?
Yes they can be used in an electric diffuser 😊
Hi, I just want to ask if it is okay to leave overnight?
Thanks for your comment. You should not leave it on overnight. Many things could go wrong, the oil burner will run out of oil and will start to burn, then it will create smoke, the oil burner could oveheat, crack and then cause a fire or it could set the surface its on alight x
Sounds like a horrible idea, don't do it!
is it normal for vapour to be coming from the bowl?
Yes that is normal, its because the heat from the candle warms up the oil and causes it to evaporate into vapour, which then diffuses into the air as a fine mist 😊
I thought you needed a carrier oil to go with it?
You can use a carrier oil such as grapeseed, sweet almond, sunflower or apricot kernel oil but it works just as well with water. Mixing essential oil with a carrier oil is better suited when applying it to the skin to reduce the potency and avoid irritation 😊
@@CarvedCulture That's great to know, thanks. Saves on the trouble.
Why add water ? Also is it suppose to be warm water or cold ?
You should add water to the oil burner so that the oil slowly diffuses, without water the oil will smoke and burn quickly. Cold water is best 😊
can i use water based essence instead of essential oil?
Great question, I just did some research and found that there are lots of different types of water based essences with different ingredients and so I wouldn't be able to recommend anything. It's possible for some products to contain perfume, alcohol or artificial fragrance that could be flammable and dangerous, leave it with me, i'll dig deeper, and share my findings in a new video 😊
😂 I tried doing this for the first time and I didn't realise you were supposed to add water, the oil started smoking and i ran for water and now it's fine.
I’m glad you found the video useful ☺️
Can I cook something on its top instead of burning oil?
I wouldn't recommend it haha, but i'm sure an egg would fit?
@@CarvedCulture Nah. I actually wanna bake polymer clay piece on this!! Is that okay?
@@ankitajoshi6443 I'm not sure but I think that polymer clay might burn if you put it in an oil burner
@@CarvedCulture ohh okay! I was gonna buy it but guess I've to rethink. Thanks anyways.
Try a pancake 🥞
How long it last, both the candle and the oil each time?
Both factors depend on which wax is used in the candle and the size of the wick. Candles usually state their specific burning time on the package and with the essential oil it is recommended to only diffuse the oil for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. Hope this helps.
Why my candle keeps going out? 😒
What candle is it that you are using? It could be a problem with the wax, the wick, a draught or the lack of airflow inside the oil burner 😕
Would've been nice to get an actual ratio of oil to water instead of "a few drops" and "a bit of water"
Seems simple enough to do though. I'll just try a few things and see what works best.
Apologies for this, it was our first oil burner video and before you go ahead and try I would highly recommend watching this video first as it explains the ratio that you asked about but also some of the potential risks with not using an oil burner correctly: czcams.com/video/XPblYxR6bDM/video.html
can u keep this in a cupboard to make clothes smell fresh
You can't keep it in a cupboard as it would be a fire risk but you could burn essential oils in the same room that clothes are to make them smell nice.
you can use fragrance sachets or put some pot pourri in a drawer to make your clothes smell nice
I poured the whole bottle on the burner and had nothing, evaporated quickly. I didn't know that you're suppose to add water!!!!!
That is so lucky that it didn’t catch fire, essential oil is highly flammable, you only need about 3-5 drops of essential oil with water. The scent will diffuse slowly and will last longer 🙏
isint that a wax melt burner
Hey, it is an oil burner that can be used for essential oils or wax melts :)
That candle is to big you don’t want the flame to be to high that it touches the base.
You are right; the wick definitely needed trimming, it's also one of the main causes for soot to build up.
Here because I did it without water and it started smoking and burning 😅
Haha oops, I did it without water my first time too, glad to have helped :)
Has no one ever managed to make a stove from metal candle burner
Thats a great question although, I could imagine that you would need lots of candles to be able to produce enough heat to cook something and the toxicity from burning lots of candle wicks could be high and potentially leak into the food
Why add water 🤔 just use a humidifier
Cool idea, however a humidifier has a larger body of water and would not exactly disperse the essential oil. Instead it would make the rooms humidity go up
