Can you use mineral oil instead of water?

The directions didn't mention anything about substituting mineral oil but because the motorized fans that circulate the water to move the jellyfish are so small I don't think they would be able to handle the oil.

I dont know about using mineral water..I use distilled water from my counter top water fountain filter and I get excellent results...

You can use any oil. I use vegetable oil in mine and it works great! Stores do sell popcorn oil as well, it just depends on your preference.

Yes you can but not alone. You would add the essential oil to a base oil. I believe there are recipes on line.

Yes with water. I fill water level, then drop essential oil in and turn on. It infuses and disperses in a vapor form. I have used a variety of essential oils with no problem.

Distilled water is best. The directions don't say not to use citrus oils. I have used blends of oils in it just fine. I really like the product.

You could use any 'food safe' mineral oil. For this special board I'm using 'Butcher Block Conditioner' by Howard Products Inc. It has food grade mineral oil & natural waxes.

Better to use a carrier oil. Mineral oil, if it's for your skin you can mix with coconut oil or baby oil. I've also mixed it with vasMix with a light oil, for skin I recommend petroleum jelly or baby oil. Coconut oil works great as well. I sometimes add a drop to a water bottle to clear up a cold.

I don't know about "have to" but I choose not too since I won't have oil with me when I need to sharpen my axe in the field. I have been using water with no ill effects, so far. I know some stones are marked as requiring oil and some state they can be used with water. But they all say not to mix the two. So if you start with oil, then stay with oil and if you start with water then stay with water. Lastly I am making my decision because if I can sharpen an axe in the field with an actual stone from the creek then I assume I can use this in the same way. Your mileage may vary and you should follow the manufacturers guidelines to be safe. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can use any synthetic oil designed for this purpose. Never use oils from hydrocarbons.

The oil I use is already watered down so I put it in straight but if ur using a consintrated oil water can n probably should be added

I have not done that particularly, but I can't see why not, as long as you don't overdo it. I agree that using a base oil is best.

No, you can not put essential oil in the water, that will damage the machine. "Water (distilled water) only" shows on manual book.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

Yes you can, but I'm not sure about the amount since these are very very concentrated oils. It would be best to Goggle for information
