<p>Seems to run waves of flow patterns. A session of larger stretchy blobs will dance around in the lower third of the vessel, some reaching a bit over half. It then goes into a more torrential flow of medium blobs shooting higher and dribbling smaller blobs as they float to the top. I think we are getting closer to the original flow! It has almost been improved in that the dimmer lets you toy with the flow and the halogen illuminates the somewhat transparent goo better.</p>
<p>The wax tends to continue to trap bubbles each warmup, not sure if that will ever clear. It seems they try to pop during the run though but she ah bubbly one! If this continues to show hope I will tear it down again to show the modified bulb arm and new position of the light bulb, we got low with this one people!</p>

<p>Yea, back in the wild days it was a big hit...someone had tried to make it hit the floor too. <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/24.gif"/> It is working more and more every run though so we should be back to normal soon. With the wax going somewhat translucent the higher up it rises the halogen bulb helps brighten it up big time with brilliant white light.</p>

<p>Sweet, I await seeing your pillar Cody. Mine is improving, put it back on the halogen. It took a tipsy turvy move before the bulb went out, drunk people thinking they are fortune tellers. The wax got bubbly a bit but each run is clearing them up so we shall see.</p>

Mine doesnt get that hot at all i can wrap my hand around the base and b fine. I am not sure about if i leave it on for a real long time how hot it gets but never as hot as you described. Also mine doesnt have long stretchy flow mine does the smaller ball flow and my wax is also somewhat transparent. But when i first got it i used to run the thing for hours on end so i know i did some damage to it but it still works. I will try to get a pic of mine flowing up sometime monday or tuesday i have…

<p>Awesome, thank you for the info Cody! I am going to grind run it on this intermediate bulb for now. It does get it flowing, kind of reveals wax damage too as mine is breaking into pellets almost but they do climb the full span. I remember this lamp having long stretchy flow and vibrant wax but now it seems to have shrunk its stretch and the wax is kind of translucent again making it hard to see in the dark up top.

<p>Awesome, thank you for the info Cody! I am going to grind run it on this intermediate bulb for now. It does get it flowing, kind of reveals wax damage too as mine is breaking into pellets almost but they do climb the full span. I remember this lamp having long stretchy flow and vibrant wax but now it seems to have shrunk its stretch and the wax is kind of translucent again making it hard to see in the dark up top. I may even try the halogen out again since it puts out a brilliant white light that will aid in the visibility of the flowing wax. I know the base climbed up to skin melting temperatures at the end of the night last night so I can confirm I can bump the halogen brighter than I was.</p>
<p>Does you base get EXTREMELY hot Cody? I mean no joke half a second touch on mine or else you will get a blister. Sorry to be clueless, I ran this lamp so much back in the day but it has been sitting dormant for 7+ years and have long forgot the behavior of this thing. I think I am going to bite the bullet and just order an infrared thermometer so I can see how hot the incandescent safely brought it up to temp and match it to a dimmer halogen.</p> Sorry about the triple post i…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2014-09-26:1566398:Comment:5505812014-09-26T11:57:38.246ZCody Rankinshttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/CodyRankins
Sorry about the triple post i keep thinking of things but those bulbs seem to melt the wax and get it flowing in a timely manner concedering they are not reflector bulbs but it does take mine a little while to heat the globe up enough to get the wax to flow all the way to the top but mine does eventually get there. I dont think it helps any being right next to my window air conditioner. I wish they would have picked a better bulb/base so we could have different bulb choices to begin with but…

I dont think it helps any being right next to my window air conditioner. I wish they would have picked a better bulb/base so we could have different bulb choices to begin with but for some reason i do love the way this lamp looks. I think at this point i have spent more on bulbs and exeperiments with this lamp than what i paid for it at big lots lol.

I found the ones in the 10 pack i think those should work at the time i was buying single bulbs just to find something that would work i think i have about 10 different bulbs just stored away that didnt fit or just didnt work so i was not wanting to buy a big pack full of bulbs lol. The 10 pack is it from triangle bulbs.
