The short answer
Short answer: every 2-3 months, or sooner when the scent fades.
Sign: weak scent despite oil, and flipping no longer helps.
Refill too: top up with a SOSA refill, from ₹2,399.
Straight answer
Every two to three months
Reeds are the part of a diffuser that wears out, so replacing them on schedule is the single best habit for steady scent. As a rule, fit fresh reeds every two to three months - and sooner if the throw drops while there is still oil in the vessel, which is the clear sign the reeds have clogged with dust and thickened oil and stopped wicking. Flipping tired reeds only helps for a day or two; fresh reeds restore the full throw immediately. A good routine is to change the reeds each time you top up the oil with a SOSA refill - new reeds plus fresh oil keeps a diffuser performing like new, year-round. From ₹2,399.
