<p>Howdy Friends!</p>
<p>Appreciate the advice and education on the bases. Haven't really had any time to mess around with my lamps but look forward it.</p>
<p>Been on the road past 6 of 7 weeks which really sucked but scored some good and not so good lamps along the way. My FedEx account is not pretty.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Four More Giants (now 9 total)</strong></span></p>
<p>(1) Green Blue - Flows great, bottle is beat to hell…</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Four More Giants (now 9 total)</strong></span></p>
<p>(1) Green Blue - Flows great, bottle is beat to hell (California)</p>
<p>(1) Green Blue - Flows good, cloudy, more debris in wax than typical, Bottle ok (Florida, bought with the one below)</p>
<p>(1) White Blue - It has "the Blobs"... a weird wax separation thing that I have seen on smaller globes in the past; the wax is compromised, looks like little dumpling noodles; bottle ok, fluid is clear (Florida)</p>
<p>(1) Purple Yellow - Mint (Nebraska) Boo Yah!</p>
<p>Always very interesting to hear peoples stories when you are buying their lamps..... especially when you are meeting them after 10PM, seriously though..... LOL</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Scores</strong></span></p>
<p>Jester & Alien (Florida), and Peace Ceramic (Washington State)</p>
<p>Florence Arts Single Pillar Glitter - Nice condition and flows well (California)</p>
<p>Florence Art 1960's Lava Lamp - Does not flow, cap is a little crusty, base and electrical good (Arkansas)</p>
<p>#20 White Purple Globe (Mint) (Arizona)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Finally back in town for a couple of weeks; will poke around here to see whats been happening.</p>

<p>I also wanted add from my previous comment that every single China made Lava Lite I ever bought needed to be put on a dimmer due to over heating!</p>

<p>That's true.</p>
<p>It is the desired flow that LL lost when they outsourced </p>
<p>that older lava has a totally different flow</p>

<p>Thanks all - this is the only place that I can find others that share my affinity for these lamps :-)</p>
<p>I won't get the other 2 until my FIL travels to Florida in February but will post some pics when I get them.</p>
<p>The big lamps struggle to flow with Michigan winter upon me so I made reflectors out of aluminum and that seems to be doing the trick! Still, many of the lamps needed to be cycled for weeks to get them moving again - especially the ones that appear to be in almost new…</p>
