Straight answer
The five-minute checklist
Fixing a weak diffuser takes about five minutes and almost never needs a new product. Work through this checklist. 1. Fresh reeds: clogged reeds are the top cause of a weak throw - swap them and this alone often solves it. 2. More reeds: use six to eight (more for a big room). 3. Flip them: coat the dry ends to restart the wicking. 4. Better spot: move it somewhere warmer and more open, away from cold corners and draughts. 5. Top up the oil: if the vessel is low, refill it to the neck so the reeds are not sitting dry. A SOSA refill keeps it full, and fresh reeds plus fresh oil brings a tired diffuser right back to life. From ₹2,399.
One line: fix a weak diffuser with fresh reeds, more of them, flipped, a warmer open spot, and a top-up - fresh reeds are the biggest fix. From ₹2,399.
Bring it back - fresh oil with a SOSA refill, from ₹2,399.
