yes i had that problem to. they do wear out and i had mine for up to a year.

there have been some problems with the scentport units recently in the past--they were saying some of them may have a trip in the diffuser which i bought one last june and only used it for 3months and it does not work, you can bring them back everything is 100% gauranteed

I have experienced the same problem. If you feel the unit itself (top rear) & it is not warm, try plugging it into another plug. If it still does not warm up, then there is probably a quality issue with it. As in a previous post, BBW does have a 100% guarantee. Please take the unit back to the store & have it replaced. Without loyal customers returning defective products the company would not know there was an issue.

I find that my Scentports do work...but they will be out of fragrance in like 2-3 weeks. I have returned them & got relacements & the same darn thing happens. They do have a 100 o/o guarantee. Return your plugins & try new ones if this doesn't work change to Wallflowers. This is what I have had to do as I can not afford to replace mine ever 2-3 weeks. My Wallflowers are not as strong as the Scentports but they do have a about 3/4 of the scent I got from the Scentports & last at least 5 weeks.
Good Luck

Wallflowers in Odor-Neutralizing Brilliant Citrus!

They work great where our litter boxes are. A great scent for spring and summer, too!

Wallflowers just put out some odor eliminating lines. I have not tried them but they may be a good option for you.

The new clean mist is an odor-neutralizing wall flower...we have a new puppy and it has worked wonders. Light fragrance...but covers the puppy smell amazingly well!

Oh - same situation im in!! I use the Pineapple Orchid plug ins and room spray all over my house. Its very 'in' season right now and is great all through summer. Its pungent enough to cut through all that dog smell, and sweet too so its very pleasant. Yes, i have a dog farm in my house too and I am very adamant about always having Pineapple Orchid plugged in my outlets. Hope this helps! It works great in my house!

My favorite signature collection scent is Sweet Pea, so i tried it in a scentportable and I loved it! It isn't too strong, and my car always smells fresh.

I like the new pineapple orchid. I have never had that problem, you may be getting use to the scent, and are not noticing it anymore.

I tried the pineapple mango in the car and it was so strong it made me want to wretch. I'm currently using fresh linen and can definitely smell it. It was a bit strong at first but after a couple of days it died down and now it just smells fresh. I have it clipped to the passenger side visor.

I have the same problem. I bought cinnamon and clove bud for the holidays. I also have the candles and oil, which are very strong scents. But not in the car. I haven't tried another fearing it would have the same effect.

Try another orchid scent - like Enhanted Orchid.

I LOVE pineapple orchid also. I mixed mine with Coconut Lime Verbena, it smelled sooo good!

You could try Island Nectar...it's a new tropical scent that smells delicious and comes in all of the forms that you are looking for.

i do also love the smell of the pineapple orchid and i think if i was to pick another fragrance to put in the other room i would burn pineapple mango or another fruity fragrance like orange nectar or strawberry patch

As others have said, this is less due to the fact that the Wallflower isn't working, and more due to the fact that our bodies acclimate ourselves to scent.

Have you ever been to a relative or friend's home and it really, really smells? After five or ten minute, you can't really smell the foulness anymore. Your body gets used to it.

It's the same basic principle with the Wallflowers.

I do the same thing. I think there are a few factors in play here. For one, when you sit in a fragrance filled room for a while, your nose becomes used to it and immune to being able to sense the scent (ever notice someone who POURS on the perfume but doesn't realize it? its because they can't smell it anymore)... I also read on another post stating that quite possibly, the scentports have an overheating shut off sensor. But I don't know for sure. So what I do is, I keep two scentports in each room I have them in. One with one scent, one with a different scent. I unplug them when I'm going to be gone for a while, say at work. But when I get home, I just plug them back in and ROTATE the scent each time. It seems to work really well that way. Plus, not being plugged in while you are gone helps to make them last longer. The issue is one of remembering to perform that little ritual. Maybe someone else has more info than I. Try rotating the scents daily. Good Luck!!

I highly recommend the oil burners. Sure they require supervision, but at least the scent lingers for as long as you're home to smell it. If you're worried about fire safety and/or glass breaking like I was about the traditional warmers, the electric oil armer works just as well and is safer. The aroma filled my one bedroom apartment in about a half hour and the scent remained a few more hours after turning off the warmer.

Get a wet paper towel and wipe down the holes, it will help the smell better dispurse throughout your entire home.

Yes, me too. I have had to make several trips to BBW store to return non working scentport unit for a new ones. they will work for a period of time (less than 3 months) then they just stop? Even though they glady replace them each time I am getting tired of making the repeated trips to the store. I know that BBW is aware they have a issue with these.

I had a couple that quit working after a short time (couple of months) and wrote customer service. They sent me a postage paid label, I sent the defective scentports back, and they sent me new ones. They truly abide by their guarantee. Oh, I did not have the receipt for mine either.

The Scentport is an electric heating device consisting of a plug, two insulated wires, a ceramic heating element and a small safety fuse. If your unit does not heat when plugged into a working outlet, then either a wire was broken or (most likely) the fuse was blown due to a voltage surge in your outlet.

While either of these problems could be repaired by the owner, doing so would undoubtedly violate the manufacturer warranty and risk serious injury or fire hazard.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this happening. I have 3 scentports and all of them have done the same thing. I really love the scentports, but I'm almost afraid to keep buying them. I wrote customer service and they told me to return them to the store, but I'm not sure what I did with the receipts.

Some of the oils do burn very fast and hot. If they get too hot they do get a burning, smoky effect and don't smell as nice. It can be a real disappointment when you find one that does that. So yeah, you're right it does happen.

The smoking is completely normal. It is one of the ways in which the fragrance is diffused throughout the air.

I wrote a long response detailing why it smoked, but evidently it wasn't good enough to go through the first time (why is beyond me), so I am replying again, much shorter this time.

Long story short: don't worry about it. The smoking is normal and will subside after a few minutes!

Usually when the oil warmer is first lit, the oil begins to warm and smoke. This shouldn't be a problem unless you notice a foul, burning smell. This can mean two things, that you do not have enough oil, or you need to change out the oil if it is left over from another day.

I have a Holiday Glow Pierced Oil Warmer in red and it's the first one I've used. I was startled by that too! However, it's not a problem. I think it's supposed to do that.

Vanilla Coconut is my absolute favorite!

I still like Sandalwood Vanilla, Vanilla Noir, and Cinnamon Vanilla. But Vanilla Coconut is the one that never lets me down as far as strength whether in home fragrance oil, Scentport, or Wallflower. That is why it gets high marks in my book.

I think "Dark Rasberry Vanilla" is nice!<33

<33good luck! happyholidays!<33

I love the Cinnamon Vanilla. It is not too strong and has just the right amount of spice smell. It is a slight hint of Vanilla with the spice smell. I am sure you would like it. Not over powering.

My favorite is Sandalwood Vanilla. It is a nice medium fragrance with a deep base but not to strong.

For newborns and very young infants you shouldn't put any synthetic fragrances into the air, especially insense or airasol sprays. Once they're about a year or so, and past the risk of SIDS a Wall Flower or similar would be alright, but you need to make sure that it is not anywhere they can reach it, as everything goes into their mouths and these lovely smelling oils are very toxic if ingested. So, you don't ever want to put pillow mist, fragrance oils or even body care products like eau de toilette or body spray that is meant for adults anywhere a baby could touch or taste them, such as on bedding, on the baby them self or in a drawr to scent baby's clothing. Before the baby is a year old using essential oils only in a lamp ring works very nicely, as they smell wonderful and have both health and emotional benifits. Lamp rings also work well with synthetic oils like the ones that Bath and Body Works carries, and are a good option, once children are 12 months or older, because, unlike reed defusers or plug-ins, light bulbs in light fixtures or lamps are all ready well out of reach in a well-baby-proofed room anyway. There are sprays with no alcohol and no synthetic carrier oils that contain essential oils which can be sprayed on baby bedding, but unfortunately Bath and Body Work's pillow mists are not such sprays. If you are using disposable diapers I would reccomend taking your used up fragrance bulbs and putting them right in the bottom of the pail or in the place where you can put a carbon filter. It really helps. Also you can put a fragrance oil or an essential oil on a cotton ball and pop that in the diaper pail. If you sprayed a pillow mist or a scented room spray from Bath and Body Works directly onto the dirty diapers, right into the pail and could keep from getting any into the air of the room, it would be alright for your baby and might cut down on diaper pail odor. Obviously, burning insense or burning scented candels or lighting oil warmers anywhere a baby could reach it and tip it over or burn them selves is not a good idea, but setting an unlighted scented candel on a high shelf can also do wonders. In terms of scents, for essential oils for 12 months and under I would reccomend orange, as it is sweet and happy, lavinder as it helps soothe and premotes restful sleep, eucoliptus because it helps kill germs in the air naturally and smells clean and fresh and lemon or lime as it nutralizes odors from diapers very nicely, as it is very intense. For Wall Flowers and Scent Ports for babies over a year old I would reccomend creamy nutmeg, creamy caramel, vanilla caramel, sweet cinimon pumpkin and vanilla coconut if your baby seems very active and you want to temper their energy with a little bit of quiet play and warm comfort. I would reccomend mango manderan, kitchen lemon, bartlit pair or fresh citrus if your baby is a bit lethargic and you want to invigorate them with positive happy feelings. For babies who have trouble getting to sleep, something like the lavindar camamile scent might be helpful. There are a lot of pretty, generically clean fresh scents, like fresh bamboo, sea island cotton, dancing watters, etc, but those seem to be more of a hit with adults for their sophistication. Make your baby's room for them, not you, and try to pick a kid friendly scent. I hope this was helpful. I admit up front that I would never use any Bath and Body Works product on my infant. Organic, all-natural products, whose entire ingredient list you can understand are a must for babies, but I love Bath and Body Works scents for my self and my family in their plug-ins, oils and candels. Some people don't think at all about what they put onto and into their body and their baby's body, and some go insane trying to eliminate every possible toxin from their and their baby's environment and will only use body care and cleaning products that they have made from scratch. I'm in the middle, insisting on the purest for my baby, and picking safe, predominintly natural, if not perfectly so, products for my self. As the home fragrance products don't go on your skin, they are not absorbed into your body, and they are a great compermize for people who have decided to go green, but desperately miss the scents of the body products they used to use. I reccomend Wall Flowers and Scent Ports to all of my friends who celebrate their pure organic lotions and soaps, but morn that they will never smell Warm Vanilla Sugar or Mango Manderan ever again.

Maybe "Lemongrass Sage"

<33good luck! happyholidays!<33

I would say cotton blossom or sea island cotton. smells like baby powder

If you're putting it in a baby's room, I would recommend that you use a Wallflower. Scentports would be way too strong (in my opinion). If you want to create a sweet, gentle ambiance for your child, I would use Bartlett Pear. It's a mixture of ripe pears, green apples and peaches. It's basically a fruit medley that is primarily pear. It's a clean and crisp scent that will cover the odor of a diaper pail.

to some of the answers below...NO do not mix with water...i believe it states it on the back of the oils if not it is in the little piece of paper that comes with most oil burners

Funny, but my oil burner doesn't sput water or oil out. I always manage to finish all the liquid by the time the tea light goes out. My ceramic burner splatters hot oil so that's why I'm all for the glass burner. Try adding a cube of ice to lower the temperature of the liquid mix to prevent splattering.

Me too! Well I guess we aren't imagining it then. The oil seems to disappear in no time. I see a suggestion here to add water--but is it safe to do that?

I thought that TOO!

I thought maybe I got some "extra strong" tea lights. I wonder if it is because the glass dish seems deeper than normal. I don't like to use water in my burners becasue it pops and sputters and gets ALL over.

I'm afarid that I am going to have to return my burner.
