Sage Hill Essential Oil Aluminum Nasal Inhalers with 20 Cotton Wicks, Set of 5 Colors

Use them and works well

I have been using these for about a week now and feel comfortable that I have enough info on which to base a review. The item came quickly and included the five tubes of varying colors and a bag of twenty wicks. I have put two of them together - one with a blend of cedarwood and lavender essential oil, and one with Now's Mental Focus blend. The former is a combo of scents I have used before any time I need to be calm - whether to go to sleep or to stop worrying about something at work. And the latter was a blend I had not tried before. The inhaler is very easy to put together in a matter of minutes. I used about five drops of the blends on each wick. You can always add more. I have used these constantly for the past week - maybe dozens of times in a given day. The product feels sturdy, like it will last for a while. The wick is easy to change out with tweezers or something else of similar size. Overall I am a fan. I will definitely purchase again if I need to (though I think I'm set for a while). I even have coworkers asking to use them sometimes. One of them commented that these would be good for a bridal shower - give everyone an inhaler and a wick and let them mix their own oil blends. Obviously the effectiveness of the product concept depends on the oils you use, but I am very happy with it so far.

UPDATE:My initial ranking was 4 stars. After using them a couple days I have to change that to 2 stars. More of the glass vials have tiny hairline cracks/scratches in them than I previously realized. Additionally, every time I disassemble them, I am finding adhesive of some sort left behind on the glass vial. I'm not sure where the adhesive is coming from, as nothing within the lids is obviously sticky. Yet...there it is. Every time. And finally, having used one of the inhalers with peppermint oil, I am now *smelling/tasting* metal (aluminum perhaps?) immediately after use. I'm not sure if peppermint would react with aluminum in any way...but it is there. I even had a friend try it, and he had the same result. I wanted to love these. They *are* prettier than the cheap looking plastic ones. But sadly, I will be returning them to Amazon.This is my first experience with essential oil inhalers. I debated between this style (aluminum and glass) and the plastic ones (which are much cheaper) for a while. But ultimately went with this style as I had read that *certain* essential oils, when in contact with plastic, could cause the chemicals in the plastic to leach out and did not want to risk this.PROS:Everything was packaged separately and orderly. Wicks in their own separate ziplock bag. Inhalers (assembled, minus the wicks, of course) in their own bag.Clear instructions (in English)Actual item matched seller's description - 5 inhalers, different colors, (each consisting of top lid, bottom lid, glass vial, metal top) + 20 wicks.CONS:One of my glass vials had a fairly deep scratch in it. (see attached pic) The other four were flawless, but I am worried that the one will likely break in time.MISCELLANEOUS:Due to the shape of the inhalers, there isn't really an ideal place to put a label, should you want to. I'm reluctant to put it on the side, as I suspect adhesive from the sticker would remain once removed. Plus, I think a label on the side would cheapen the look of the inhalers. Ideally these would have a flat bottom where a label could be somewhat inconspicuous.As the instructions suggest, it is important to NOT push the wick all the way into the glass vial otherwise you'll need tweezers to remove it.. Instructions recommend pushing all but 1/4 of an inch in. In my opinion it is actually closer to 1/8 of an inch that you'll leave out. If you leave *less* than 1/4 (or 1/8) of an inch out, screwing the metal top in place will further push it in. You can see the final result in the attached photo.AND REMEMBER....IF YOU SHOP THROUGH https://smile.amazon.com/ Amazon will send a portion of the money they make from your purchase to the charity of your choice.

These personal inhalers are pretty as well as practical. I love that they are made from aluminum and glass instead of plastic and since they are each a different color, you can identify your inhalers' contents without needing to label them. They are a nice "weight" and feel substantial in your hand in comparison to the cheap all plastic inhalers you usually see. I purchased this set almost a month ago and have been using them daily. I have one in my purse at all times and have never had a problem with the lid coming off (which is a problem I had with another inhaler). They are very easy to fill and use---remove the aluminum cap and pull the glass vial from the bottom aluminum outer tube. Next, unscrew and remove the slotted lid and put a wick into the vial leaving about 1/8" of the wick sticking out of the bottle. Drop a few drops of your preferred essential oil onto the wick and put the inhaler back together. When you are ready to use it, simply remove the lid and place the inhaler under your nose and inhale deeply for a few seconds. The wicks last quite a long time, but when you are ready to change the wick, simply take the inhaler apart again and pull the used wick out with a tweezers and replace with a fresh wick.I absolutely love these inhalers and will be purchasing sets for both my daughters.

This would have been perfect. However the wicks are too big for the bottles. You would have to only put the oils on the top where the wick is sticking out. It makes sense that the wick would need to be longer to remove it, but perhaps a thinner wick would be of better use.

I just received my order today and so far, I am very happy with them. I started using essential oils recently. I purchased a set of blends from Healing Solutions and realized that I would likely use 5 of the 6 regularly - good time to try the inhalers. What attracted me to this set was the different colors available together in a more durable casing. Filling the inhalers was incredibly easy - I filled all five in about 10 minutes. I used to use cotton pads to diffuse oils. The scents would slowly wear off - not sure if this is due to exposure to the air or what. These inhalers only have a few drops in them, yet the scent is much stronger than it would be at this point on the cotton pad. Even if I have to add a few drops a week, this purchase will have been worth it.

Unfortunately this product looks good for outside, but the plastic inside is very lightweight and is it not good quality, I wish the material could be like aluminum of lightweight stainless steel.
