Direct ultrasonic oil atomiser
Added 2023-08-14 14:43:02 +0000 UTCThis unit appears to be in the process of being dumped on eBay UK, possibly from amazon stock that failed to sell or was having reliability issues.
It's a USB powered essential oil atomiser that pulses the oil directly into the air without the usual water mist carrier.
You basically load the oil into a tiny little glass bottle, with a wick that carries the oil to a fairly neat and ferociously driven piezo atomiser disk.

These ones seem to fit the right way up in the USB wall socket in the current accommodation. I wonder if there's a standard for USB wall-socket orientation.

2023-08-25 03:24:08 +0000 UTCI think I know why they're being sold off so cheap. Both of mine have the USB plug upside down relative to being able to fit in a 230v usb wall adapter and have the unit point upwards. If you plug it in it hangs down from the adapter (or straight out horizontally) rather than pointing up. In a car using the 12v USB adapter it wouldn't matter as you can rotate the adapter so the diffuser is upright. I wonder if people were buying them for home use? I had to re-solder the USB plug on one of mine as the cables were trapped in the rotating part of the plug and both had been severed., It's easy to flip the plug around once you've lengthen the cables. It would have also been nice to have a 10 minute setting as even on the longest time of 1 minute intervals it is too overpowering to use in an enclosed space of a car.
