Refilling Scented Oil Warmers

RE: Refilling Scented Oil Warmers Post By Engineer (Guest Post) (08/20/2008) Just to see if I could do it, I pulled out the wick with a pair of pliers and replenished the bottle with an essential oil. To reinsert the wick, I used a a pair of six-inch needle-nose pliers to expand the mouth of the bottle neck so I could pinch the large-diameter segment through. I believe the problems are 1) essential oils are more expensive than the Glade refills; and 2) because the wick is heated at the top, I doubt it can be reused often before it becomes useless. Now if you can find a cheap wick alternative and cheap scents. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Refilling Scented Oil Warmers Post By aisha.

I am personally trying to do the same. Merely pulling off the top and manually refilling them isn't working as the fiber diffuser seems to get clogged once it empties the first time. I am trying to find new inserts for them so I can make my own...

Or something similar?

I found that you can pull the wick out but if it touches ANY water it swells and will not go in again. You can use a syringe ( I used the one from my ink refill kit for my computer and it worked pretty good). I suppose you can use any oil you like, I just happen to prefer lavender.

You can find these words on the back of the plug in in raised plastic so you have to look closely. And it does not appear there was any faulty wiring to contribute to the overheating. It appears the resistance fell dangerously low across the air freshener resulting in just over 1000 watts of heating in a localized surface.

There is still significant suspicion that these type of air fresheners that are plugged in can be a source of fires - it cannot be proved when they burn up in the fire. SC Johnson's 'Glade' brand is likely a "safer" brand if you felt you could not live without them as SC Johnson had to pull faulty ones in the past and says the problem was "corrected". I recently had a near-fire with a competitor's brand, and most of the reports out there today appear to be about the competitor brands. See news report at http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/7o ...

Here is a link to the official statement from SC Johnson, the makers of Glade Plug-Ins, the warmers most often associated with this myth. http://www.scjohnson.com/family/fam_pre_pre_news.asp?art_id=133 According to them, the only one that were a fire hazard were some Extra-Outlet Scented Oil Warmers made in June 2002, and they've already been recalled (voluntarily, I might add).
