I opened all 4 of my heritage grandes to all a second coil. I just recrimped the original cap and they are perfectly sealed again.

<p>Oh yeah Keith.......out of all of the ideas on OG, I have not heard of a 100% successful way to completely seal off a grande. I have used the Izze soda bottle caps on my china 52's, but the 52 usa globe that I just kitted I can't use the izze cap on because the usa globes have a huge fat upper rim on them. I still have not sealed it. Guess I might use the hose clamp trick on that one.</p>

<p>I don't mind popping open the 52's. But my neon green grande needs refreshing too. Recapping a grande has been a challenge for me.</p>

<p>You're lucky then Keith!!! Neon green lamp #2 gunked within the first month. I have no clue what it is, but it does get into the wax. I thought maybe that is why the wax turns from vibrant green to a "puke" colored green as I like to call it, lol!! When I just kitted my green, I did blend the dyes. I used a yellow/green blend in equal amounts to come up with that brightish green more Neon looking color. I'm seriously thinking of doing that with my son's lamp. Just waiting until it…</p>

<p>Yeah Carol, the green is looking disgusting. The other colors, although faded, still look good. I like the pinkish/purple look of the purple. Actually on the yellow it doesn't look much different, just doesn't pop as much. But the yellow doesn't have a good flow. Mine are all over 1 1/2 years old with no brown gunk.</p>

<p>Keith and Cowmation,</p>

<p>My 16 year old son ABSOLUTELY had to have one of these for his bedroom. Ok, first one I bought, I thought I fried from letting it overheat. It started to get brown gunk in the coil and faded to a sickly greenish yellow color that resembled puke. I sent pics in to LL along with the receipt, blah, blah, blah. Got a replacement. A purple fluid/yellow lava. </p>

<p>No. 2 green neon which I repurchased from Spencer's in August. It's only November. Again, brown gunk in coil. Aside from the fact that I COVER this lamp EVERY day with a black pillowcase, again, it is a sickly brownish, yellowish green. Not the neon green it once was a short 6 months prior. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My purple Neon also experienced the same metamorphosis. Went through 2 lamps. Started out neon purple. In a few short months looked pink which I didn't mind. At least it still did look a pretty color. I will never again buy anything supposedly "Neon" from LL. I'm done. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I too might add some green dye to my son's lamp. Worse case scenario, i'll end up kitting it. My green kit is vibrant and will probably stay that way longer then 6 months.</p> I saw the green neon on displ…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2014-11-22:1566398:Comment:5594452014-11-22T16:18:39.298ZCowmatianhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Cowmatian
I saw the green neon on display at my local spencers fade from vibrant green to pale greenish wax with cloudy water. It has since been replaced, but it only took about six months for the fading to occur. Spencers does over run their lamps, but still.
