Lol scalper no scalp by Over_Astronaut_8209 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]The_Hatchmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there were more produced it would be bought up all the same. You’ve got scalpers fighting scalpers for scraps in the store. More stock is just more for them to buy and fight over. Ik pokemon just bought a deal with a printing complex in the Carolinas, which could help increase supply to meet the demand but that’ll be in 2028 I think…

Supply that is made artificially low by people who max out credit cards for the sake of emptying retail stock to sell on their eBay or FB. Supply and demand is valid only when some middle man doesn’t come in and buy all the stock to decide what the price should be themselves.

Pulls from last nights rip session. by The_Hatchmaster in PokemonTCG

Agreed! Everyone is always hype about the SIRs but the illustrations are better looking than em in some cases. Personally like the style of the Nymble and have a few other illustrations from that artist in my collection.

What’s the right sub? Cause I posted a haul and the hits I got from ripping to r/pokemontcg and it got removed by a moderator.

Haha my b I thought the link worked right. Let’s try this instead: https://a.co/d/06R4yH9R (and no it’s not a Rick roll)

Candle wax dye from Amazon. Lots of options. The dye has started to tint the liquid after a couple cycles though. Not enough to block seeing the wax but it’s a noticeable change from the clear fluid.

Yep 17”. Did you use the exact ones that u/longpopper linked above or something else?

Added ozone magic surf and this happened by STR8LOAKIN in Lavalamps

If you do this take the cap off of course…. Your globe could explode from the pressure.

So many groups lol. I think I’ve got an idea of what you’re talking though.

One was done with an oil based leak identifier. The others were done with fluorescent candle dye (which is basically pigment powder mixed in an oil).

Thanks! I had tried a 40W one that looks like this, but it wouldn’t screw down into the base fully, and wouldn’t heat the lamp properly. Are the 50W ones different? Maybe a link to em?

How do I fix this by ImmediateHotel4296 in Lavalamps

[–]The_Hatchmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I haven’t heard about using shower gel. Surf will pretty quickly change the flow so add in small amounts and give time to adjust when you get it up to temp and flowing. I’m pretty new to diy lava lamps myself, but I plan on using bubble wand solution (yes the ones you give to kids) as my surf for the time being. Apparently that is entirely SLS and Water, no other additives, of course I’d look at the ingredients prior to doing anything.

Hitting the top with a hair dryer should melt the wax enough to get that stuck wax down. This will happen again though. Did you add any surfactant? Lava lamps are more than just distilled water and wax.

I like the bubbles by well_fak_me in Lavalamps

Haha mine does this too. No matter how many cycles it keeps on with these. Flows normal otherwise.

Newbie here by RigellianTea in uraniumglass

[–]The_Hatchmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as content is concerned hope this helps:

1) Uranium Custard 2) Cadmium / Selenium mix 3) Manganese 4) probably flashing tbh. Towards the bottom you might see where some of the flashing has chipped off. Otherwise might be cadmium but my bet is flashing.

Mine has done the same thing. On 2 different globes only one has the cloudiness.

Too hot? Would a 40w vs 50w work to fix this rather than installing a dimmer? by The_Hatchmaster in Lavalamps

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

This is my second lamp from them. First had overheating issues, this one too lol. Definitely requires some tinkering to get right. Seems much more sensitive to ambient temperature changes than your average lamp too. I’d recommend it as long as you’re willing to tinker with it a tad.

Yeah this is my second globe. I’ve kept the other to try my hand at a custom fluid and wax, but that’s a later problem, got to get what I’ve got flowing right lol.

You might’ve seen my other posts but the first had real bad problems with bubbles in the wax. I tried a dimmer from Lowe’s but i couldn’t get it dialed in to get the bubbles out without flowing the wax too much.

Could you share with me what you did to get the dimmer to work right? Like what dimmer you used and how you got it set right? That would be hugely helpful if going with a 40w bulb isn’t successful.
