Lamp Berger - Homemade Oils

Montano · 04-17-2011, 01:22 PM

I had my kids this weekend, and they said it smelled too much like alcohol. Could it be the 99% is a bit too much ? I think I'll give the 91% a try and see what happens. I put 11 drops of oil in the bottle. That seemed to be the normal amount.....

Nick, 11 drops seems a little light. I would try a few more drops to up the fragrance. You will be fine using 91% alcohol, you may just have to clean your wick a little more often. That "alcohol" smell is just part of the Lampe experience when you burn your own home made fuel.
