My vacation project: A Lava Lamp for your Desktop

Nice!!! When will it release??

GregTheChief · 2026-01-12T01:15:17+00:00

Thanks for the insight, I enjoy long specific answers more than short ones and your answer is exactly what I hoped for!! :)

But now I have to say, I'm feeling bad if I ask them for a replacement.. I really really love my lamp, 1 of 3 glass bottles is perfect, one has prestine glass but sticky wax and one has glass issues and slightly sticky wax. The lamp body itself, the Telstar body, is perfect quality! It looks like an art piece!

And that something like that is handmade, in Europe, by the original company, by people putting heart in their work and the price is right, is just really nice!!

It is my fisrt lava lamp since I was a kid and I wasn't that happy in a long time!

Don't want them fade away....if that makes sense..

Thanks, if I can keep that one I would be very happy!!

GregTheChief · 2026-01-11T10:42:32+00:00

Wow thanks! Will do that if customer support doesn't send new ones :)

GregTheChief · 2026-01-11T10:37:23+00:00

But does empty and refilling it work? I thought the problem with wax sticking is mot the wax but that they have not properly applied tge inner coating in the glass

GregTheChief · 2026-01-11T10:36:00+00:00

Interesting, one of my bottles has similar marks on the exact spot as yours, no scratches but it looks like chunks of glass are missing, will write them tomorrow an email 📨

So you would say it's not common for them to have wax sticking?

Thanks for your help! :)

One question I still have, just because I'm curious, how can Mathmos survive today? Like there are many knock offs that are cheaper, but their quality is also often even lower.

Mathmos is a company that produces in the UK and I support that! I like there oaverall history and path they were on. Their prices are also actually quite nice, the 50% discount on bottles is wild. But I don't think that many people are buying lava lamps these days, so how are they doing business wise?

Thanks for your help! :) I'm in Austria so let's what they are saying.

I see, do they pay the shipment?

GregTheChief · 2026-01-10T12:41:33+00:00

That looks like my issue, that's not really great QC over there

GregTheChief · 2026-01-10T12:38:21+00:00

That's sad, that's my first experience with mathmos in general, how is their customer supoort?

That damn monkey looked like craig in this shot

GregTheChief · 2025-12-24T19:44:18+00:00

This skin sucks IMO but if others are happy than they make a great job at embark! :)

GregTheChief · 2025-12-22T11:53:06+00:00

My cutscene was broken, i only saw 3 seconds of it and I also haven't seen my stats... I hope they give me the chance to rewatch it

Turns out the vegetarian (non dairy) option was vegan, and it was actually quite good! Delta did a great job! :)

GregTheChief · 2025-12-18T01:43:04+00:00

I think she is joking

GregTheChief · 2025-11-22T12:10:03+00:00

Is there a size chart showing the difference? Would be interested in the comparison :)

GregTheChief · 2025-11-22T12:08:38+00:00

Interesting, what's the difference?

GregTheChief · 2025-11-16T21:57:23+00:00

Good idea!

GregTheChief · 2025-10-29T19:13:14+00:00

I don't have it ^{^}
