Dont get me wrong. I think everything is going in the right direction for them but I wish they would do some kind of an inspection before they go out to retailers. If they did that I think it limit the ammount of disappointed customers. I as a former retailer felt the frustration of this particular issue but the reality of the issue is that I'm probably referring to about a thousand lamps that they may have to go through and thats a lot of labor.

<p>I just got a reply from the seller, he says the liquid when fully heated rises a bit over an inch to just right under the cap.</p>

<p>I've never had a wizard, but I had a regular glitter lamp that was low. I dropped some of those clear, flat stones in there (like for aquariums) to raise the liquid level. It worked really good and unless you looked straight down into it, couldn't even tell they were there. Didn't hamper the glitter movement at all. </p>
<p>A wizard person could probably yay or nay this trick better than me though... </p>
<p>Better luck to you!</p>
