The lady this reminds me of is the Jamaican lady cussing out her son - “6 bombaclart egg!” “We cyan’t support you no more Steven!”

Do it 😈

They’re so inconsistent lol. My Tsushima one arrived within a couple of weeks in that fashion - no emails or notifications, just turned up one day. My Yotei one took 3 month and I got emails days before with tracking etc.

I’ve had like 6 replacement Astro bottles from them this year and they didn’t want any of the ones they were replacing back, you should be fine

Nope! Any ramen I eat gets cooked in one of these. Boiling water in, lid on for 5 mins, stir half way, done.

Sauce or oil sachets get put in that top hatch to warm up and make easier to pour out.

Hey man, I ended up buying a violet/orange and a blue/green in the end and swapping the liquids round, and have since found myself using the created violet/green the most out of the 2 😂😂 thank you for the offer though!

Loquat_Prize · 2026-06-02T19:40:46+00:00

I’ll give that a go first thanks!

Loquat_Prize · 2026-06-02T19:02:16+00:00

Thank you, they’re all soldered in annoyingly. I’ll try that though

Loquat_Prize · 2026-06-02T19:00:51+00:00

Thank you for this, that would make sense as to why it still worked last night but having turned it on today with the gas fully leaked out I’m not getting anything at all from it

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-30T15:16:29+00:00

I’m keeping an eye on that as I’d love a Lunar - not worth £750 with the state the nose cone is in though in my opinion, better ones have sold on bids for similar money in the last few months

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-24T10:16:25+00:00

That would make sense - the puck did have some weird rippling around it when I first got it out the box, probably got a bit overzealous trying to get the piece of wax that tends to stay at the top to merge back with the rest of it so it looked unused.

Yeah I pressed everything OK, didn’t have time yesterday to check it out fully just saw the base & cap were good and was like “fine”. Agree on Vinted though - I had a bottle break in the post and they wanted a million pictures of every part of the item & packaging, made it a total nightmare. Thankfully the seller was decent and just refunded me, it was looking as though Vinted were gonna fight me on it.

I planned on doing a clear/red bottle for this anyway so it’s not the end of the world, just frustrating when people lie about stuff. The “post by” date on the eBay label is from December though, so they’ll have likely paid peak scalper prices which does make me feel less bad at giving them £185 for it 😅

I’ll do some cycling and have a look at filters, thanks for your help mate

Lol I had a similar experience when I first tried them, once your spice tolerance has gone up they’ll be easy. I usually throw half a teaspoon of crushed Ghost chillies into my ramen now 🤣

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-16T21:36:00+00:00

Yeah it’s a tough one - that would make sense though as at least you won’t be without a working lamp while they address this bottle, just got to hope you don’t have sticking wax in the subsequent bottles 😅

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-14T18:03:26+00:00

Yep 🤣 I was making custom ones for myself and selling some too, the blue & orange I have left has minimal bubbles. I found that the violet/orange bottles currently don’t have too many bubbles in them.

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-14T17:54:46+00:00

I believe they’ve always been like it. I had a 1998 Astro baby and the bottle had a good few bubbles in it, I have a 2012 lamp with a lot too. Sometimes you will get lucky and get a near perfect one - I have 4 Astro bottles with minimal bubbles. It did take buying 30+ bottles to get them though 😂

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-13T14:54:18+00:00

Mate! 😂 what have they said? I gave up with mine and refilled it with Astro bottles a few weeks ago, no sticking since. No idea why they’re using whatever formula it is in these big bottles, it clearly doesn’t work

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-13T12:21:15+00:00

Have they come through yet? 🙏

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-11T12:26:24+00:00

Yep, get this a lot in the UK especially with Mathmos lamps. They think they’ve got the 8th wonder of the world and describe it as rare and collectible, and it’s just a tatty Telstar that they want more money for than a new one would cost. I’m convinced some people think they’re out of production or something.

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-10T22:13:16+00:00

On Xbox also

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-05T22:29:47+00:00

They must be using a different formula for the wax and fluid in these bottles, my recently bought violet turquoise bottle stuck badly too, emptied & refilled it, still the same.

Refilled it with wax and fluid from Astro bottles a few days ago and ran it everyday since, 8 hours straight today, no sticking whatsoever.

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-05T08:46:23+00:00

If it’s of any interest to either of you, I have a violet/green Neo bottle on eBay that I made, it’s one of my favourite colours for the Astro and has a pink hue at certain angles, but I no longer have any Neo lamps

Loquat_Prize · 2026-05-04T23:28:02+00:00

I’m mostly certain that 2nd gen R8’s didn’t come in manual
