To give an easy to understand reason why this is a bad idea...oil is not water soluable, so it will stick to your lungs and your body will have a tough time getting that stuff out of there (kinda like cigarette tar). Our body simply runs on water as solvent.
All proper e-liquids are water soluable, so alot easier for the body to "clean them up". There is a reason why we use what we use.
Also, dont mistake the word "chemical" as something bad per se. Water is a chemical, too.
I just googled this stuff, and they seem very eager to tell people its NOT an E-Cig. Look, I'm sorry, but if you heat VG to produce a flavored vapor, its the same principle, no matter what you call it.

Great comment.
I'd add that some oils are fine to smell, but simply that they could be quite a health issue if ingested /inhale.
Tiredgecko97, don't get scared off! I understand why you are looking for a "natural" solution. I started out with a simple vape pen that had a refillable tank. Look at some ejuice vendors like Kind, Virgin Vapors, and Vape Organics. They're all vegetable glycerine (VG) based and use natural and/or organic flavors. You can get them in 0 nicotine. I do agree with the others not to vape essential oils. I've used EOs for years for topical remedies only. I wouldn't even digest them orally. I hope you find a vape solution that works for you, and there's tons of options. Just keep asking questions like you're doing. ECF is awesome for that even if some folks come across like a brick to the face. They mean well and just don't want you to get hurt.
I'm sure that the point has been made clear and the op will be annoyed after a point but I know we're just trying to help.
I had a little look at some YouTube videos. This product is really strange. The reviews state that it is in no way an ecig but the product is pen shaped, looks as if it lights up on the end, glycerin and flavours that heat up and a vapour seems to be exhaled by the user. Again though, it is stressed, this is not an ecig!
Lol.
The connotation is strong with this one.
@tiredgecko97
If you've got this far, congrats. I'm sure your as tired as your name suggests by now though.
I think your at the wrong forum for this device. Best of luck to you and if you decide to persue conventional vaping make sure to ask here.
Like @Bad Ninja advised, If you've already shaken the smoking to be healthy, just be happy with that and don't vape anything, particularly not essential oils.

Yeah. I saw that she was last seen after a fair few comments had told her it was a no go. hopefully she doesn't do it.
Maybe they got all the info they needed and moved on. Maybe not.
This just seems like a really bad idea. Akin to the naturopath who killed someone by injecting them with turmeric because "natural is always better".
Oil in your lungs is oil in your lungs, whether it's organic, essential, or cooking fat. Surely.

MONQ says it's intended to last weeks. If you want a little puff of aromatherapy once or twice a day, it might be good (why you would I don't know). If you want something you can enjoy freely or to stop smoking, avoid. I wasn't impressed by how little actual info is there on their site either. BTW, I recall seeing some kind of aroma stick that didn't use batteries or anything and may have also been considered an alternative to smoking.
As to vaping, no need to reinvent the wheel, and the negative list on what they want seems typical of many smokers trying to find an excuse not to try vaping.

I'd like to know why @tiredgecko97 is interested in the first place being she's already quit smoking.
Maybe trying to avoid a relapse.
If so, this is definitely a good place to ask questions.
Just a shame she asked the wrong question first then disappeared before getting anywhere.
I'd like to see an update "i got the smok (or whatever) kit and I'm happy to report it's working to satiate my cravings".
