For a Scentball - start with 5 drops - depending on the size of the room you may need to use upto 20-25 drops reapply every 3-4 hours

Car diffusers - 2 drops - diffuser no longer than 20 minutes every 3-4 hours. Unplug the unit after 20 minutes.

Fan Fuser Fan Diffuser - 20 - 30 drops is usually the minimum - 50 drops is not unusual to use in larger rooms.  Depending on the essential oils used and the size of the room you may need to reapply every 4-5 hours

TruMelange Fan Diffuser - 20-30 drops -  reapply every 3-4 hours

Ultrasonic Misting Diffuser - 5-10 drops - this unit runs until the water is gone.  You use 5-10 drops each water fill.

Oil & Wax Tart Warmers - One to Three unscented mini- tarts and once it is melted add 20-50 drops or more as desired.    This is a personal preference as to how often you feel you need to add more essential oils.

Terra Cotta Discs - Fill the depression full - let it soak in.    Most of the wells (depressions) will hole 20-30 drops or more.   Some oils will penetrate the disc and provide 1-5 days of diffusing at low levels.

Nasal Inhaler - 6-20 drops on the cotton rod or inside the 'sealed' type inhalers.  Usually once every 4-5 months depending on how often you use it.
