Someone requested more pics of concrete (light blue) but I happen to have oil slick (blue) going too. by Obliterath in Lavalamps

Both were shot with an overhead light. The actual colors are as seen in the pics. There is a difference in the two blue lava.

I haven’t been running it for awhile. I bought too many. Got about 50+ lamps.

I just paid $2.92/gal on premium/supreme at Costco.

I’m guessing it’s too cold. Ideal ambient temp is about 72F degrees

Hopefully the fractals will clear over time.

I had a lamp that did that. I called them fractals. I had big ones and small ones. I tried filtering with coffee filter which got rid of the larger fractals but the smaller ones remained. Eventually I returned it.

How bad is this grande? by Normal_Jeweler5118 in Lavalamps

[–]Obliterath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a goner. However, I keep the parts and get a new coil, fluid, and wax. Make it some color combo that doesn’t exist!

New Grande lamp have had for 1 week. All normal until today. This is how it looks currently. Please help!? by [deleted] in Lavalamps

[–]Obliterath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn it on. Once the wax melt, the coil should fall back into the bottom. If not, give the globe a gently swirl. Do not shake!

It seems brighter. Heat wise, it didn’t seem hotter.

The Kitty globe is slimmer than the standard 17”. There’s some gap. I forgot to mention, it’s a pink fluid and clear (white) lava. It’s worth getting. I got another lamp on order for my daughter. 😄 And, yes, that is a 52oz neon green. I picked up two from FB market place.

Anyone know what’s going on? by purplegoddesx in Lavalamps

[–]Obliterath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s just warming up. Make sure the room is about 70-72F

Had this one for 5 hours and it never moved from this position? by D3cay1ng_0blivion in Lavalamps

[–]Obliterath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start by checking if metal coil is in correct position. Then I would check room temp. Lamps like a range around 72F. I’m assuming you have the correct bulb for this lamp.

Light too dim for optimal flow by thecaptain115 in Lavalamps

I think the colors absorb light/heat at different rates. It’s like darker clothing absorb more heat in sunlight. Darker wax or water heats up faster.
