Loved this as it was straight to the point. Another thing to mention is to always trim the wick on any candle, even tea lights, before lighting. It prevents the flame from getting too big and from smoking.
Thanks, Not long ago a went to a shop I forgot about the oil burner, and when returned it was on fire like a torch, nothing serious happened but still... now I know not to put more then 3 drops of oil...
That must have been extremely scary, it could have been caused by excess essential oil but you should ensure to never leave the oil burner unattended as the fire can quickly get out of control, glad you are ok though!
Congratulations on your new oil burner, I'd highly recommend watching this video before using it, it will show you everything you need to know: th-cam.com/video/NinCJ77rrj8/w-d-xo.html
WOW thanks for this video. I always use about 5 drops of essential oil😳 I’ll be keeping it to 2 or maximum 3 from now on. I normally leave it unattended because I didn’t know it could catch fire. I will not be doing that again either🤦🏾♀️ Can u also tell me if everything said in this video goes for wax melts too?
You are welcome, I'm glad I was able to help you use your oil burner safely. Wax melts are slightly different as they are usually made with more essential oil - but as they release the oil slowly whilst melting down there shouldn't be any concern as long as they are from a trusted source. Even with wax melts though, they should not be left unattended as the essential oils could spit causing it to set on fire. ❤️
When using essential oils, it's important to be mindful of two things. Firstly, if you continue burning the essential oil after the water has evaporated, it may start to smoke. Secondly, it is advisable to limit your daily exposure to essential oils. Although there is no definitive timeframe, we recommend keeping it within 30 minutes to 1 hour 😊
@@CarvedCulture ohh I didn’t know about this, I usually keep the burner on until the light is more or less burned out which means after 5 hours give or take.
@daienaa each situation is different, to be honest there are so many factors such as the room size, ventilation, how much essential oil your using, the oil type, the quality, your sensitivity threshold and more. It’s not a one size fits all, your current usage might be fine for you 😊
You can use beeswax melts that already have essential oil in them. We wouldn’t recommend melting the beeswax then adding the oil as it is very flammable 😊
I am not an expert on Bukhoor and so I would be unable to advise, however I can see from searching that it is made from wood scraps containing essential or fragrance oils. At first the idea seems safe but then I realised that it is potentially very flammable being soaked in oil but also the wood could catch on fire and could spit or smoke making it unsuitable for use indoors but like I said I cannot recommend anything as I do not have any experience with Bukhoor but now you have mentioned I will keep an eye out as I am curious too. Thanks for commenting!
@Carved Culture I see. Thanks for the comment. Usually bukhoor is burnt by putting it on a instant charcoal disc. Then u put a tin foil on the instant charcoal disc or a meca disc on a charcoal instant disc. Then u put the bukhoor on it. I guess imma stick to the tradition way then.

We are glad that you liked the video and thank you for mentioning trimming the candle wick, it’s a good point 😊
Straight to the points, thanks! 🙏🏻
Thank you 😊

When it comes to safety, is there a difference between the glass and ceramic burners? Thank you for all the helpful tips!
Great question, I discuss the best material for an oil burner in this video: th-cam.com/video/MssuqCpUmV4/w-d-xo.html
Can I use bees wax instead of water as a base for the oil?
You can use beeswax melts that already have essential oil in them. We wouldn’t recommend melting the beeswax then adding the oil as it is very flammable 😊
Can I use bukhoor also?.... like how can I say.. I put tin foil on top so the bukhoor doesn't stick to the ceramic but in general is bukhoor OK?
