MONQ blends should be drawn in through the mouth, also known as a ‘mouth inhale’, and then exhaled through the nose. Think of the action being similar to sucking something through a straw. In order to inhale into the mouth, and not into the lungs, you must use your mouth, tongue, and pharynx to draw from the device, then exhale through the nose. While keeping your mouth closed after taking a breath, simply exhale through your nose. MONQ blends are safe to inhale into the lungs, but there is data that suggests that the terpenes, the active compounds are less effective when absorbed in the lungs.

The longevity of each personal diffuser depends on usage. Most people get around 200 breaths from each device, which is close to 1 month of continued use. Most users are satisfied taking 2-3 breaths every few hours due to the robust and complex flavors within our 13 blends. They end up requiring fewer, softer breaths than they might have initially anticipated, and since there is no need to inhale, the device generally lasts a long time. Users who are particularly empathic or sensitive to external stimuli (including aromatherapy) often like to soften the impact of each breath, by inserting their fingertip as a spacer between their mouth and the device. Not surprisingly, these users find their personal diffuser lasts far longer, sometimes more than 300 breaths.

We are often asked if MONQ is an e-cigarette or a vaporizor.  MONQ personal essential oil diffusers use vaporizer technology to deliver all-natural essential oil blends in classic aromatherapy combinations. Our diffusers are available in 14 different blends, all of which are free of nicotine and tobacco, GMOs, and artificial ingredients, and are 100% organic and vegan. Breathe our MONQ blends into your mouth, pause, and exhale through your nose. Plant fragrances pass through your olfactory system inspiring relaxation or other effects, depending on the blend.

We do ask that those planning to use MONQ are over the age of 18. Any users with asthma or similar pulmonary conditions, as well as pregnant or nursing women, should not use MONQ. Some of our blends contain certain essential oils the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy recommends avoiding while pregnant or breastfeeding, thus we advise new or expectant mothers against using MONQ.

People often ask “what does the word MONQ^® mean?”

MONQ is an acronym that stands for Modified Observation of Natural Qualia. Let me start with Qualia. Qualia is a poorly understood word. It stands for how you and I experience the world. The redness of a strawberry, the sweetness of vanilla, or feeling nervous, feeling stressed, as opposed to feeling calm. So we believe that with the use of MONQ you can change how you interact with the world.

For instance, we believe we can lower your level of stress by using MONQ and can, in general, change the way you feel about and the way you experience things in your daily life.

That is why we say with MONQ you can Improve Your Qualia of Life™.

So, when do you need to reorder? Here are some tips:

• If you chose Auto-Ship with your first order—never. 

You know how to make life easy and efficient, and MONQ’s got you covered with a new delivery every 14 or 28 days. If you didn’t choose Auto-Ship, do it now and enjoy the simple pleasures in life! Or, add a new blend to be sure you always Feel the Way You Want!

• The light doesn’t shine as bright. We can all use a tune-up once in a while.

 So can your diffuser. When the crystal light starts blinking, doesn’t shine as bright, or doesn’t light up, you need a new diffuser.

•  The air you breathe seems a little less fresh. Our blends are pleasantly robust. 

When your diffuser begins to lose flavor or taste stale, please replace it. We want you to have the best experience. 

• The vapor flow changes. Vapor output changes from diffuser to diffuser and user to user.

But, if the vapor of your go-to diffuser changes, grab a new one. 

• You don’t feel the way you want. MONQ products are designed to help you Feel the Way You Want. Anything less than that? It’s time for a new diffuser. =)
