<p>Hi! I was wondering what the fluid was inside the Mathmos smart astro bottles? I've just bought one from Ebay (hasn't arrived yet) but its cloudy. </p>
<p>I noticed that some people had tried a metallic bottle on the smart astro base so is it maybe propylene glycol or is it more like the standard bottles? </p>
<p>I thought if it was propylene glycol I could just change the fluid as I did with my glitterball (worked brilliantly) or if normal fluid, buy a new bottle and swap…</p>

<p> Hi, this is my first lamp review, comments welcome (be gentle).</p>

<p>After considerable expense, time a frustration with UPS my 2 Smart Astros (purple and green) finally arrived from the UK. Anything over $250 and US Customs thinks I'm some kind of importer and delays the shipment and charges import taxes (about $46).

<p>After considerable expense, time a frustration with UPS my 2 Smart Astros (purple and green) finally arrived from the UK. Anything over $250 and US Customs thinks I'm some kind of importer and delays the shipment and charges import taxes (about $46). FedEx is mostly clueless on how to handle things and my package was almost returned due to their inactilon. The local offices dont talk well with corporate either. I get shipments from China all the time without a problem...dont understand.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyhow, I order this a few months ago (at double the price) because it looked like Mathmos US distibution was never going to happen. Oooops! Anyhow:</p>
<p></p>
<p>It was packed well and labeled in several places that it's made and pour in the UK</p>

<p></p>
<p>The purple liquid seemed to have some contamination in it prior to heating</p>

<p>The jars are mostly lear but does have two very visable seams. The liquids in the two bottles were filled to different levels...any idea what level they should be at and what to fill it with?</p>

<p></p>
<p> I found american cord for the unversal power supply and the lamp warmed up in about 2 hours. The base has a spring loaded heating ring but the jar is kinda wobbley on it.</p>

<p>The purple jar is cloudy and seems to have smoke like rings related to the goo. I'm running it through the cycles and hoping it will clear up. The green looks and flows great and I like the color cycles, but it's not very bring...could use 3 times the number of LEDs.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Other observations: The finish on the cap and base is very nice and looks great. The base needs to have ventilation between the feet of about 1/8 inch...so I cant sit it on the tapestry on my end table as planned. As mentioned befor the jar doesn't sit on the heating element evenly so the lamp seems to have hot spots and flows sideways a little. It also will wobble a little it you touch the globe.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Of course things could be better but generally I'm pretty pleased. I'll have to see over the long term if the unit holds up...seems to draw a fair amount of power and be heating alot, so I hope the element and power supply stand up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Jethro</p>

<p> </p>
<p>who knows if i can come up with something better than what mathmos can with the electronics in these maybe they would take it on board or just get worried about competition :)</p>
