Inside a Chinese aroma atomising unit

From bigclivedotcom.

A fairly attractive variant on the chemical air aromatizers often called air fresheners. More suited to masking bad odours than getting rid of the base problem. This one has a very futuristic design and pleasingly minimal control PCB.

The best bit of the listing was when it said the unit could be used to "impress your friends and make them smell very good when they visit."

As with the high profile Air Wick units, this one also has an oil based excipient (carrier) for the aroma chemicals. The base for these seems to be related to low odour kerosene.

The method of dispersion is ultrasonic atomisation via a lithium cell powered drive circuit and piezo atomising disk. The unit can be recharged with a micro USB cable, and has a few modes with different time delays between each burst of aroma, or the ill advised continuous mode.

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said that the Chinese manufacturers would make their version of the Air Wick Mist with an absolutely minimalist design. I doubt you could get more minimalist than this.

When it arrived the aroma bottle had a cap and foil seal, but the wick was supplied separately. The neck of the bottle did not fit into the unit at all until it had been filed down in size to fit.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube’s algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
