Did I purchase the wrong one? I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001... I noticed now it says "inert". So is it hot?

The one you got is for training purposes and contains a solution that is something like deionized water or saline solution. It is only very mildly irritating and won't stop anyone from attacking you. You should keep this inert can and use it to train. It will allow you to predict how the real thing will react when you use it. Set up some human sized targets and set an attack scenario and use the inert can on the targets as if you are defending yourself. This way you will have at least some idea of how far away you can be while still being able to hit a person in the face with your real pepper spray once it come in the mail and all without risking getting the real thing in your own eyes and mouth. Also I strongly suggest you don't allow frustration with getting the wrong thing to convince you to go to a big box store and get some cheap generic junk pepper spray.

I haven't had this particular one before. I had their flat tabletop one, which is a hot mist and surprisingly, the same price, considering it's really a mess to use.

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

Mine only seemed to run "hot" if I were on a phone call for an hour+, but definitely not when idle. I've used it to take pics throughout a 45+ minute event and didn't notice it getting hot then.... Is yours running hot all the time, or are you only noticing this as you're using it (i.e. while talking / texting)? Also make sure you close apps you aren't using at the moment (flick up to close) as open apps require battery life to drain, which could be causing a heat issue....

As jc answered, in my outlet the diffuser feels warm to the touch but not at all hot. There is a slight odor. I only occasionally catch a whiff of it that is very diffused, that is to say, I smell it when I enter the room but not when I stand directly over it. The liquid is evaporating very slowly, not even a third of it gone in 3 weeks. I think it is working as it is supposed to and I have noticed a difference in my anxious cat's behavior. I'd say give it time, see how fast the liquid evaporates over a week or two. If it is too fast it may be defective.

It has never got hot with me. I only use it for a few minutes at a time though.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

I don't know mine want very hot. I accidently passed my hand under it and was surprised that it didn't feel very hot at all. Slow for steam as well... I returned it. Hated it.

If the product poses no fire risk (per the manufacturer) then what are we to make of SuzEQ's 3/12/11 post, "However, the first one lasted about a week before overheating and catching on fire. The second one only lasted a few days before doing the same." Clearly, her experience and the manufacturer's assurances are diametrically opposed. Anyone aware of any Consumer Reports or other consumer-based agency's studies of this product? I would feel much more confident about using Feliway if there were reassurances from an independent, objective third party...

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

Wow! Sure it's not flakes of "burnt stuff"? Mine isn't... Sounds defective and I'd return!

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

Hmm. It seemed like mine loosened up once it was a little warm. I'm not sure though. Did you ask the distributor for feedback?

I can't help. Sorry. I thought it was a piece of junk. Burned all my toor dal. I bought an expensive good one and love it.

I need to correct my statement to you. Yes, it is hot to the touch. Apparently I hadn't noticed until you asked and after I responded to you. Sorry about that.

You must have gotten a defective one, they get hot. I've had a brand new one bad out of the package
