<p>Got one of the new Astro Baby bottles and was shocked by how poor the flow is on it! It just produces blobs that go up and down. I thought I was being fussy but look at the first comment on their new Neo lamp:</p>

<p>It's called GREED! If they can pocket more money and now sell crap and you continue to buy their NEW CRAP, at the same high prices no less, they will continue to make and sell CRAP.

<p>Thank you. I have tried different bulbs but it still overheats so fast on halogen or old style bulbs. I think they are off their rocker or they aren't testing the stuff before they ship it out.</p>

<p>i tend to remove around 10mm aka 1cm from the level of fluid, and top it up, so put a mark on the bottle before you remove the fluid. do this while the bottles cold, then shake it to mix it, Im not sure what the bulb is in your lamp, as im on copper orig bases i use a 40watt opal bulb, there are halogen bulbs that fit which are slighty lower heat so may be worth trying that before tampering the fluid plus that will void ya warrenty.
