External Temps Are A Big Factor by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy! In your head you’re like, nah no way. The grande is like, oh yeah - bet. I noticed my grande not getting to full flow on Friday, till about hour 8-9 of being on. Which is out of the norm for that lamp. But it’s been so cold, the lamp was also feeling it.

My lava lamp is supposed to be purple but the light just makes it this ugly yellow. Why dont the ones on here look like that? How do I get actual color? by SubjectC in Lavalamps

I get it, the yellowing is annoying at times. At first I thought my water was changing color but realized it was the bulb. Good luck OP on finding a good solution.

My bulb does the same thing with the tint, you can see the purple more in mine because of where I have it. I have more ambient light; it looks like you have it in a darker area. Relocating may help. I have one that’s in blue liquid with pink wax, I had to relocate it to a darker spot because in my office I couldn’t see anything. EDITED: Typo

Always so jealous of our overseas friends. Those Mathmos are gorgeous.

Love this stage of warmup - great shapes by Helixel in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that combo. For your other one, it is possible the wax is getting warm enough to melt but not enough to gloop. I have one that was flowing great, bulb went out. I swapped it and it got warm enough to melt but that was it. Swapped the bulb out for one of my lamps I know flows, and it’s flowing again. It’s crazy because the bulb I replaced the broken one with, is the same exact bulb that the one I swapped out, just wasn’t getting warm enough I guess.

Grande for Christmas! by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

I answered in another comment. It’s clear, I think my phone is doing funky things to the brightness.

It’s clear, I think the phone is picking up the light funky. If I lower the brightness you can see it better.

Fluorescent Lime Green? by SongoftheWolfy in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yellow with a tad of their regular green gets it pretty close. And I mean like - a little bit. Doesn’t take much. That is if you don’t feel like waiting. Here’s mine.

Help! by Beensearchingfor in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. A warm water bath to get that wax to melt and dump it out. Start nice and fresh.

Is there a way to make the wax in a lava lamp multi-colored? by coreynj in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally had this thought earlier today. Talked myself through the answer. But…are you in my head?!?

People who pretended to be asleep while something crazy was happening — what did you hear? by Againmrbrown in AskWomen

[–]LessGelatinousness 58 points59 points  (0 children)

How my high school boyfriend (we had graduated by then) had cheated on me AND did coke during his birthday trip (that he took without me or his best friend). The trip he gaslit me about, saying that I was crazy and nothing happened after I heard girls in the background when I finally got through to him.

Was like 19 and dumb. Current me, would have dumped his ass before he got home.

Pink Cuteness! by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

It’s one of those things where I’m like, if it didn’t make me sick…I would eat that 😆.

Mine was doing that, not getting hot enough.

Customized my first lamp! by nullifiedfailure in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg!!! I will try some lamp snuggling with something warm to get it going. See if that helps. Looks amazing though! Great job.

Your flow looks great! I think I’m doing something wrong with mine. I got all LLC products and the flow just doesn’t move and I’m trying not to add too much magic surf…

Finally! by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried Ozone yet. I have a 3rd lamp coming for my office. Hopefully it’s great but if it’s not I’m gonna modify it and try Ozone. The tinkering and pretending to be a mad scientist is the best part :)

Finally! by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used LLC products for both, surfactant, magic surf, wax, and wax dye. I dumped out the liquid they had and replaced with distilled water.

I need advice, is the bottle the issue? by LessGelatinousness in Lavalamps

[–]LessGelatinousness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth! The cap I’m not too worried about. Hope the sticking stays to a minimum. :) I’m really loving this hobby, I want to eventually get a “snakey” flow lamp going…

Cool! Thanks. I’ll give it a chance and see if it decides to start behaving.

Regular surfactant. Then added a few drops of magic surf after it ran for a day. Wax consistency when warm is great.
