Advantages: Helped your child's congestion brilliantly

Disadvantages: Only that it was a bit smelly

The Wright's vaporiser originally came in the form of a unit which was heated up using a tea light candle. The special vaporiser fluid would be measured out and spooned into a block at the top of the unit which would soak up the liquid. The heat from the candle underneath would then heat up the block and release vapours into the room which would clear up any nasal or chest congestion up a treat. These were then replaced by electric versions which I believe have been reviewed by a lady in another opinion on this site. I went to read this opinion because I had some old candle lit vaporisers which my father-in-law had kept from when my husband was young and I wanted to use it to help my son. Unfortunately, I found out that you can no longer get replacement blocks and fluid for the candle-lit vaporisers but you could buy them for the electric one, so I bought a block and some fluid but then found out that they no longer sell the electric vaporisers either. They have been discontinued. I thought I'd write this opinion in case anyone else ever went down the same path trying to find a Wrights vaporiser but wondered why they couldn't get hold of one. I called the company who manufactured the Wrights vaporisers and they confirmed that the vaporisers were discontinued in 1995 and that the fluid and blocks were produced after that for people who had vaporisers but since then even those accessories were discontinued in 2000 which is bad news for the people who own them. I asked if this was because of health reasons and was told that it was because the products were not selling due to their expensive costs. The fluid was a patented mix which can not be reproduced by anyone else and there is nothing like it to replace the Wrights fluid. Now the only products on the market are vaporisers which give off 'natural' oils such as peppermint and lavender, which I believe aren't as potent and effective as Wright's with its secret ingredient. So it seems as though we have losta
really good product.
