Why Is an Electric Incense Burner Also Called an Electric Resin Incense Burner
Our customers particularly enjoy using electric incense burners to diffuse resin. Therefore, they often refer to these electric incense burners as electric resin incense burner.
Resin contains boswellia acetate, a natural substance that can activate calming pathways in the brain, relieving anxiety and depression, and improving focus. Furthermore, the burning of natural resin has antibacterial and odor-eliminating properties, making it a true alternative to chemical aromatherapy, truly aligning with a non-toxic, organic, and clean lifestyle.
Resin incenses such as frankincense and myrrh are hard, oil-rich resins. The release of their fragrant aroma requires a constant specific temperature. Under too low a temperature, no aroma will be released, too high and the resin will char and give off a foul odor.
Natural resin is especially suitable for use in yoga, mindfulness, and energy healing as a tool for purifying the energy field and focusing inward. Its aroma is calming, and the cool, refreshing notes of high-quality frankincense are particularly prominent.
Natural Aromatic Materials Suitable for Electric Incense Burners
Electric incense burners work with many natural incense materials. Each type needs a different heating temperature.
Resin Incense
Includes frankincense, myrrh, benzoin and rosin. Heat them between 180°C and 220°C. Always use a metal tray, do not put them directly on the heating plate, or they will stick and be hard to clean.
Wood Incense
Includes sandalwood pieces, agarwood chips and sandalwood scraps. Heat them between 190°C and 250°C. Cut big pieces into small ones to spread smell faster.
Incense Powder
Includes sandalwood powder, agarwood powder and mixed powder. Heat them between 160°C and 190°C. Do not heat too hot, or it will burn and smell bad.
Essential Oils
Use a special small tray for oils, heat between 80°C and 90°C. Do not pour oil directly on the heating plate, it will break the burner.
Dry Plants
Includes flower petals and dry herbs. Heat between 70°C and 120°C for a light, fresh smell.
Always clean the burner completely before using a new type of incense, or different smells will mix together. For new incense, start with a low temperature and turn it up slowly to find the best heat setting.
Daily Maintenance And Care Of Electric Incense Burners
Good daily care makes your electric incense burner last longer and keep spreading clean smell.
- Before each use, check the power cord and plug for damage.
- Put the burner on a flat, hard table, away from curtains, paper and other easy-burning things.
- Always use a tray for incense, never put incense directly on the heating plate, especially resin and oil-based incense. They will stick hard and be hard to clean.
- Do not use the burner for more than 10 hours at a time.
- Turn it off and unplug it when you leave for a long time.
- Do not touch the hot heating plate, and do not spray water on it when it’s hot.
Cleaning Instructions
- Clean the burner only after it cools down completely (wait at least 30 minutes).
- Wipe the outer body with a dry soft cloth.
- Use a cotton swab with alcohol to clean burnt resin on the heating plate.
- Take off the metal tray and wash it with warm water, dry it before using again.
For dirty or yellow outer shell, use a mild cleaner, do not use strong chemicals that will damage the surface.
When not using for a long time, clean it fully and store it in a dry, cool place. For rechargeable burners, charge it once a month to keep the battery working well.
If the burner makes strange noise, smells bad or does not work, stop using it right away and ask for professional repair. Do not take it apart by yourself.
Electric incense burners make incense appreciation a relaxed and everyday experience. May the gentle fragrance always be with you, soothing the mundane aspects of daily life and allowing you to slowly savor your own leisurely and comfortable moments.
