<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I spent my evening and night trying to make 2 Jet bottle flowing good with Gookit.</p>
<p>I just throwed the result in the toilet!</p>
<p></p>
<p>On my gookitted Fluidium Grande, I've got a big snaky flow which I tried to replicate in the Jets.</p>
<p>I made 2 bottles exactly the same, with 7ml of surf (1% as advised).</p>
<p>The flow was like an egg shaped blob raising. Very boring.</p>
<p>So I decided to remove some surf from one bottle and add some on the other.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After hours of running, both lamps showed the same boring egg blob.</p>
<p>One bottle had about 3ml of surf, the other a total of 17ml!</p>
<p>So, contrary of common believe, surf doesn't change the shape of the flow.</p>
<p>The difference was the speed of raising blobs.</p>
<p>The lamp with lot of surf was slower. Strange!</p>
<p>They were both overheating (coil problem) and having bubbles.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, is anyone managed to get good result with Jet bottles on a 40w bulb?</p>

<p>I got this lamp off eBay last year and felt my best bet for future enjoyment was to re-wire for the US. I made one really bad attempt (seen here: <a href="http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/mathmos-jet-rewire">http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/mathmos-jet-rewire</a>) and then it sat in the basement for several months. Don't judge me! :D<br/> <br/> The conversion is embarrassingly simple and it's maddening it took me this long to do it.<br/> <br/> I'd like to thank Autumn, Lamphead (Jim), Dr.What (Shawn) and Weebotech (Rob). I couldn't have done this without your help, pics and advice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Supplies</strong></span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>One steel nipple (I know, the name makes no sense) - 1/8" IP thread, 1" length</li>
<li>Two 1/8" locknuts</li>
</ul>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036083960?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036083960?profile=original" width="640"/></a><br/> 3 washers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Two for the bottom of the lamp: 3/8" x 1 1/4"</li>
<li>One for the top on the other side of the lamp: 3/8" x 1 1/2"</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>1 cord with switch (I went with white, 6ft)</li>
<li>1 ***intermediate*** socket (can be found here: <a href="http://www.lightbulbemporium.com/satco_90_1554_90_1554.asp">http://www.lightbulbemporium.com/satco_90_1554_90_1554.asp</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036085639?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036085639?profile=original" width="209"/></a></p>
<p>I took out all UK wiring, socket and black clip that held it all in place. Now just dealing with the base of the Jet, I removed the top part of the base (comes off if you pinch the little clips below). Was easier to re-wire and assemble all parts this way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The order of the parts went like this from top to bottom (with the nipple going through all parts):</p>
<ul>
<li>1 locknut</li>
<li>Larger washer</li>
<li>Mathmos Jet base</li>
<li>2 smaller washers</li>
<li>Locknut</li>
</ul>
<div>So from the bottom, it looks like this:</div>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3807220826?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3807220826?profile=original" width="478"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And from the top it looks like this:<br/> <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036087845?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036087845?profile=original" width="480"/></a><br/> Then, I threaded the cord through and wired it into the intermediate base:<br/> <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036088386?profile=original"><img width="478" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036088386?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="478"/></a></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3157410452?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3157410452?profile=original" width="478"/></a><br/> There is some wiggle room here to adjust how close the bulb will sit to the base of the Jet globe - just adjust where everything sits on the nipple (seriously, why are they called nipples?!?!) a millimeter or two up or down. Mine's pretty close and with a 40W bulb, I'm going to need a dimmer - it gets really, really hot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Make sure everything is secure and tight and then snap the top part of the base back on and you're good to go!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I've done anything wrong here, someone please let me know! This is working out great, though I know, I know, I need a dimmer. ;)<br/> <br/> I am running a 40W S11 bulb (same as what's used in the old Carlisles), like this:<br/> <a href="http://www.lightbulbemporium.com/satco_s3629_40s11_n.asp">http://www.lightbulbemporium.com/satco_s3629_40s11_n.asp</a> (edit: now running on 25W R14 bulb - the little reflector one). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>LOOKIT MEEEEEEEEEEEE!</p>
<p></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036089997?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036089997?profile=original" width="478"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Edit 03.31.2012 to add a few pics for the Astrobaby.</strong> The process is nearly identical. </p>
<p></p>
<p>First, take out the cord and socket. There are two tabs that hold this into place. Next, with some force (and from the inside on the lamp), you have to punch out the bottom piece. I used the other end of a hammer and tapped it out. Don't remove any of the glue/sealant. Just leave that alone.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036761908?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="500" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036761908?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="500" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>I didn't need two washers on the outside, just one. So the order from top down goes (with the nipple going through all parts):</p>
<ul>
<li>1 locknut</li>
<li>Larger washer</li>
<li>Mathmos Astrobaby base</li>
<li>1 smaller washers</li>
<li>Locknut</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Like so:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036762845?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="500" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036762845?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="500" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036763204?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="500" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036763204?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="500" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p>Then, thread your cord through the bottom, through the nipple and attach to the intermediate base. LOOK, WITH YOUR SPECIAL EYES:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036763620?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="500" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3036763620?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="500" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>Press the chrome base back over the bottom white plastic part and you're in business. I run my Mathmos Jet and Mathmos Astrobaby on a 25W R14 reflector bulb and they run very well.

I have one and want one more, I want one but don't want to pay $100 on ebay. Anybody have one they would sell for less? If the color combo is right i would pay $90.
