Making Scented Oil for Lamp Berger?

I have made my own 'oil' for my lamp, but it takes forever to get it to light and then it doesn't stay hot enough to bring the scent into the room. Have I done something wrong? I used 91% alcohol and 10 drops scent.

I fixed it! I soaked the entire wick assembly in 91% rubbing alcohol. Set it out to dry for about 24 hours and started over with my handmade oil. Now it works perfectly.

I bought new wicks, new Stone Age. Nothing keeps it lit. I did try soaking it, but I didnt let it dry I let it soak for about 4 hours

I use 91% as well BUT from a 16 oz. bottle I take out 1 tablespoon of alcohol and replace it with 1 tablespoon of DISTILLED water to reduce the alcohol to 90%. Then I add the essential oil. For 16 oz of liquid, I add one tablespoon of oil. Works great!
