I have a globe that totally separated, and you had to really overheat it to get any sort of flow at all. I was able to fix it with the help of this forum.<br />

Your welcome Jerrell!<br />
<br />
I actually bought my dimmer last night and tried it and I saw a difference in flow. Although, my Century still has thick globs of lava that seem to not want to melt together even at the bottom it just piles up into large balls and sits at the bottom and then cools. Most of the lava wants to hang out at the top of the globe. You have any thoughts to why it won't blend together? Anybody?

Thanks Iana. I will surely try. I am guessing a cheap fix for an expensive lamp.<br />

It's roughly between 2-3 hrs, I know it hasn't been on for long and then I notice that it's not flowing and the lava seems to hover. Do you think I need a lower watt bulb? Do you think it's defective?

It is flowing correctly. That is how the older lamps are. I would suggest a dimmer switch. Once it heats up you can adjust the heat to improve the flow. Basically older lava lamps had shorter run times. In the old days the objective was to get the flow asap but the downside was the shorter run time. Those are old favs. hope you enjoy it I have an older one just like it! you did good there are hardly any airbubbles in the glass.

Hi Bohdan,<br />
