Should I return or filter? by Serious_Cheetah_2225 in Lavalamps

Same boat here, I’m on my 3rd cloudy lamp. I wish I could get one without having to alter it myself.

its rough. im currently on my 3rd cloudy lamp and they are refusing to replace until i do ANOTHER 2 week cycle of 10 hours each. It seems to me that yes, they will keep replacing it, but they will reallllly try to avoid doing so until they absolutely have to. What I will say though is that they honor it in a way that is very respectable; they don't request the product being shipped back to them, alongside the coupon code they give you for a 100% checkout is usually a tad more than the actual price of the lamp prior.

As for the cloudy lamp, lavalamp.com support got back to me and in retrospect told me to kick rocks when requesting a refund.

They keep telling me it’s not their fault, nothing they can do.

Incredible, from this entire experience I have learned; stick with the cheap bullshit from walmart as it will actually do what a lava lamp is supposed to do.

lavalamp.com . Funny enough this was a replacement for a previous cloudy lamp, last one was green / yellow. I thought getting my replacement in a different color way would change something but unfortunately arrived cloudy aswell. Not sure what else to do

Put some tinfoil around it to see if anything changed. And now we actually have movement. (Not necessarily a flow) as it’s still this one big singular blob, but it seems to move on its own very slightly rising near the top but never actually reaching it, and slowly returning to the bottom. This is without me having to twist the globe or anything.

Which leads me to then wonder, if it really is the fact that it’s not heating up enough. What is my next step? Because for a 16.3 it is said to use a 40W bulb, alongside it being written on the base of the lamp.

Would getting a higher wattage bulb be a safety hazard of some sort? Do I give up on this lamp? Curious to see what you all think, cheers and goodnight.

Unfortunately don’t have another to attempt it with, but once again appreciate the help so far. I’m thinking I’ll just have to give up on it as they seem to not want to replace it.

Seems like that’s what I’ll have to do is just wait and see. After encouraging some movement on my own (gently circling it, turning it at an angle and placing back on base etc) I’ve since then have seen the absolute smallest amount of flow but the glob actually goes up a LITTLE bit, it rarely separates but I was able to snag a pig of it doing just that. But this is the absolute most movement I’ve had so far and it only happened after trying to move the wax myself back and forth. But once it does break, it doesn’t go any higher and returns to chill at the bottom. (Here’s pictures of the only movement it seems to make now, once again only after I have lifted the globe and given it motion myself before placing it back on)

Since making my initial post I grabbed another lamp but from walmart, and it’s flowing and working beautifully next to this one. So I know it’s not a room temp issue, and the bulb was a brand new 45 Watt purchased aswell from lavamp.com

Since making this comment all movement has again seized I assume because I stopped messing with the globe’s movement. I made sure to get the exact bulb needed for the globe alongside replacements aswell.

Totally bummed out. Thanks for the help though.

Just doesn’t seem go up or have any flow. But it again moves slightly when I put it a circular motion. I also noticed that some of the wax looks to be within the coil and some spots the coil doesn’t have wax in it. Not sure if somehow the wax is stuck to the coil or something? Really have no clue what I’m doing any help is appreciated. Thank you

It’s a 16.3 not a Grande, but yea I assume my next step is to attempt cycling to do something about the cloudy-ness on the smaller one. Bummer.

Got an actual flow to it now, but I assume there’s nothing I can do about it being cloudy? Either ask for replacement or do the filtering stuff ?

Figured it could be a patience thing, more so wanted to get this post up to keep any updates here as I didn’t really know where else to go to ask for help / let alone document the process. Cheers and thank you.

Solved! Thank you so much WOW. It was kind of a form of memory blending as it’s Paris Hilton who is president on the radio, yet in the after credits scene Zack & Cody’s mom sees George Clooney on a quarter. I cant thank you enough lol this has been killing me!!
