Abstract
A volatile material dispensing system includes a housing and a refill unit. The refill unit includes a volatile material and a wicking surface. A fan is disposed within the housing. During an active state the fan draws ambient air into the housing and over the wicking surface, which is angled between about 20 degrees to about 75 degrees relative to a central axis of the housing. Further, during the active state the drawn air is expelled from the housing through channels of the fan at an angle of between about 20 degrees to about 75 degrees relative to the central axis of the housing.
