<p>Finally had a chance to run these in my room with no windows open and no fans moving. They worked perfectly. The R1 does run hotter however. Just thought I'd post an update. :)</p>

<p>Thank you for your advice! The R1 I actually have problems with overheating. It's the O1 that seems hard to get moving, even with a candle holder around the tealight. </p>
<p></p>
<p>How many did you get of the R1? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, what is the temp inside your house? Ours has been about 76 when I have the lamps lit. </p>

<p> <i>I purchased the R1 about the time you did. Im sure i benifited from your work on getting it from mathmos us. I found that the tea candle they supplied with it was just too short and had no ooomph to it. So i put in a little taller tea candle maybe a half inch taller and now it flows beautifully! No problems whatsoever!!!</i></p>

<p>No, but some part of the coil wasn't seated at the bottom and I cured it on the first run, so maybe it's the reason of your problem.</p>
<p>Be cautious and take your time.</p>
<p>Good luck :-)</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip, I'll try that tonight. </p>

<p><strong>Autumn</strong>,</p>
<p>Don't pass on the Fireflow.</p>
<p>I love my R1s.</p>
<p>I bought 3, and they're great. (Well I only got 2 now, because I've some issues with a shop, not cleared yet).</p>
<p>The lava is one of the best, nearly like a jelly, you want to eat it!</p>
<p>Flow is perfect. They're so cute!</p>

<p>You recommend the R1, but it seems to have its own set of problems. I think I will pass on the fireflows all together. If it was me in your situation I would have just returned them.</p>

<p>Well, the pink one (R1) has detached from the coil again. 2nd time it's done this (looks like it's overheating). O1, despite being moved to the kitchen where there are no fans running, still won't flow.</p>
