I've been ranting about the 20oz LW lamps in some other threads hahaa I have 8 of them, they were cheap at Menards. I will not pay over 10 bucks for them, well I'm never buying anymore, they are cute but they DO NOT FLOW good if at all, the coil issue, check out my posts I drudged up hehehe<br />
oh and yes the China lamps sometimes have ODD WHITE FLAKES floating around, my problem 52 green/clear has a giant white flake that looks like a feather floating around, scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

Hmmm. Maybe add a drop of dish liquid? The symptom you describe sounds like what's mentioned one of the recipes on this site. If you don't add the dish detergent, the lava makes a large ball that rises, falls, and sits there without reconnecting to the coil.

It IS really sad. I've just starting getting interested in lava lamps and all these new ones I'm hearing about...just disheartening. But, lucky for us, there are many old ones to be found, so that's the route I'm taking. Hopefully, if enough people vote with their pocketbooks, LavaWorld will adjust their product or go under.

I just dont see how they stay in business when the majority of their lamps act like this. Most people are going to instantly tell the lamp is broken and return it. Its sad...the lamps they are putting out have very vibrant colors but they just dont work.

I have learned this lesson the hard way with the same 20 oz lamp with same color scheme and same problem...my blue white 20 oz does the golf ball thingie and is kinda foggy.<br />
<br />
That.s the best scenario with the 20 oz lamps..you get one that "kinda" works
