What does flipping do? It turns the dry, exposed ends back into the oil, re-coating them so they wick strongly again - a quick scent boost.
How often should I flip? About once a week for steady scent, or right before guests arrive for a boost.

Flipping reeds boosts the scent - but doing it every day just empties the bottle faster. Here is the right rhythm.
Quick answers — read this first
Should I flip my reeds every day? No. Flipping coats the dry ends with fresh oil and gives a burst of scent, but doing it daily uses the oil up fast. Flip once a week, or whenever the scent dips - for a special occasion, flip the morning of. Keep the oil topped up with a SOSA refill, from ₹2,399.What does flipping do?

For a boost: flip the morning of a special occasion.

Straight answer
Flip weekly, not daily
Flipping the reeds is a real tool - it turns the dry, exposed ends back down into the oil, re-coating them so they wick strongly and giving a burst of scent. But that burst comes at a cost: every flip speeds up how fast the oil is used. Flip every day and you will empty the bottle in a fraction of the time. The right rhythm is about once a week, or simply whenever the scent dips. For a dinner party or guests, flip the reeds the morning of for a fuller throw that evening. Between flips, keep the oil topped up with a SOSA refill so the reeds always have fragrance to draw on. From ₹2,399.
One line: don't flip daily - it burns oil fast. Flip about once a week, or before guests, for a boost. From ₹2,399.
