<p>Globe wise how much thicker is the Giants then the Grandes? I have a Grande and the glass sounds pretty thin to me. I'd like to go with a Giant globe if it's thicker.</p>

<p>I have a saved search on CL for lava lamps in general, but Houston doesn't seem to have a lot of them. I might have to add surrounding college towns to get a better selection.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will keep looking however, I might get lucky eventually.</p>

Oh! And one of my GIANTS was by far the least expensive of the lot! Keep your eyes open... Ya never know what might pop up:). Good luck!

Well, I may have just gotten lucky, but I found all of mine on Craig's List - except the glitter one ( that was direct glow). I know there are many many flakes to sift through before you find someone dependable, but I like being able to see pictures before I throw down that much money. I also like to see them in person before I decide if they are really worth it.

I also like to see them in person before I decide if they are really worth it. I got my first one at the beginning of this summer, and the last two about three weeks ago, so I was able to get six giants and grandes each a different color combo within three months. In fact, there is a blue-yellow for $60 and a purple-yellow for $40 on my local CL right now. The purple-yellow belongs to a crazy person, but the blue-yellow guy seems mostly normal. :) I'd love to find a Giant, but…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2012-09-03:1566398:Comment:4121612012-09-03T11:40:55.378ZBridget Thttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/BridgetT
<p>I'd love to find a Giant, but until then am willing to settle with a grande.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I live in Texas, so I might be waiting until cooler weather to try and order one. I may check out Spencers to see if they have any that were shipped in colder weather, who knows, I might get lucky.</p>

<p>It's a crap shoot. I've had one Grande and it came cloudy. I'd say you have a 25% chance of getting a mostly-clear one. If you must have one, keep your eye on eBay - you'll see them for around $65 shipped sometimes from <span class="mbg-nw"><a href="http://myworld.ebay.com/www-sonicelectronix-com?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" title="www-sonicelectronix-com">www-sonicelectronix-com</a> - or …</span></p>

<p>I have four Grandes myself, and purchased all four between December and February from Ebay. Not one lamp was cloudy. I was told that you have a better chance of having a non-cloudy lamp, if shipped during the cold season. I will say this, you may want to stay away from Amazon when purchasing Grandes. I've heard/seen many people give Amazon bad feedback for cloudy lamps. Lamps so cloudy they are milky white. </p>

Hi. Well, grande and giant lavas seem to be my obsession. I am, by no means, an expert, but I can tell you of my own experience...<br />
I have four giants and two grandes.<br />
Believe it or not, one of my grandes has almost the same flow pattern as my favorite giant! It's a purple with yellow wax and I absolutely love it!!! The other grande I have flows more like a typical china lamp, but there is more room to roam in these larger styles, so even a china made globe has the potential to flow more than…
Hi. Well, grande and giant lavas seem to be my obsession. I am, by no means, an expert, but I can tell you of my own experience...<br />

Believe it or not, one of my grandes has almost the same flow pattern as my favorite giant! It's a purple with yellow wax and I absolutely love it!!! The other grande I have flows more like a typical china lamp, but there is more room to roam in these larger styles, so even a china made globe has the potential to flow more than blob. Hope that makes sense.<br />
<br />
Also, one of my giants was fairly cloudy when I first brought it home. It's been about two weeks or so and it flows nice and clear now. Then again,it's a giant and not a grande. Both my grandes were clear from the minute I plugged them in.<br />
<br />
On a side note, I also have a grande blue glitter lamp. It's very slow moving, but I love it too!
