If you use a waterless nebulizing diffuser such as the Organic Aromas Raindrop 3.0, treat the drop counts as ratios and skip the water. (Affiliate link.)

Diffuser tips for better results
Clean your diffuser weekly. Oil residue builds up and mixes with new blends, muddying the scent. Wipe the water tank with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Room size matters. For a bedroom (200 sq ft), 4-6 drops is plenty. For a large living room, use 8-12 drops and run on intermittent mode.
Intermittent mode extends life. Running your diffuser on a 30-seconds-on / 30-seconds-off cycle makes your oil last 2x longer without reducing scent perception much.
