<p>I own the HUMUNGO which in my opinion is the TIFFANY of all the lava lamps. I've never seen any ad for the HUMUNGO lamp. I've seen ads for the colossus. I was told by one employee at LavaLite years ago that the HUMONGO was originally only intended for commercial use which is probably why they are so fricken rare. Production of the HUMONGO was also way more limited than the 1,000,000 or so colossus's produced. </p>

<p>I just changed the fluid in mine yesterday in fact, It took 9 gal of distilled water</p>
<p>I never fill it all the way at first to adjust flotation so I am approximating the.5 Gal</p>
<p>Its freaking ball dropping heavy</p>
<p>The issue is trying to handle its obtuse shape as opposed to condensed box weight</p>

<p>1 gallon of water is about 8 lbs.. Same with gasoline. So if the collosus is 10 gallons its probably 8 or 9 ? true gallons of liquid due to the wax, weight of liquid and glass i wouldnt doubt it being 100lbs. </p>
<p></p>
<p>25 Litres is only 6 1/4 gallons so yea it weighs alot less. 10 Gallons would be 40 litres well 37 if you wanna get technical</p>
