Yes you can break them up, you can get little pots to try out a scent, they range from $1-3 usually, depending on how big they are, that's a good way to see if you like a scent or not. Otherwise they have clamshells which is 6 squares, so a perfect size, usually $5 or so depending on the scent & brand. Lots of people make them.
Apparently oil burners for essential oil don't work, but a normal tealight warmer and electric warmer work. They have some at Kmart that are supposed to be good. I was thinking of trying the Kmart one myself, maybe for Christmas, it's $29 and the tealight warmers about $5 and they sell the tealights too, pretty cheap. I don't like candles because of all the work so I just use these and they're much cheaper.
But you could however try in your warmer that you use the oils in, just don't use water like the essential oils.
You can also get fragrance oils which you can put in a diffuser (like essential oils) although some diffusers only use essential oils (I have 1 for fragrance oils & 1 for essential oils, but some diffusers you can use both). Just make sure to clean it out with water & vinegar if you use fragrance oils, for a few hours. You can also use fragrance oils in mop buckets and so forth.
Never tried incense. They sell some Citronella tealights & melts that stop Mozzies. I'll have to check out that Easy Peasy thread. I don't cook myself, very dependant on my parents which is quite sad since I'm 21.
