"I ordered three white Astro bottles. The bottles have been delivered to the Forward2me warehouse. Two of them are going in my Opal Fluidium bottle to refurbish it and the third on a standard Astro base. "
"So an email sent from Mathmos yesterday said the White Clear Astro bottles will be shipping with 3 weeks!! But it appears some have already been delivered to customers!! Talk about confusing lol !!! "
"Flowing lava always does relax a weary soul! Good advice Johnny, the world needs a whole lot of lava at the moment!"
"Maybe the "guy" who does the mixture / and filling is off covid related, just because the gov relaxes restrictions doesn't mean everything is back to normal, they could be on a skeleton staff still, and trying to catch up on previous…"
"Barry, you have every right to be upset. I would be as well. The promise of more products when they moved factory seems to be untrue.
Products being discontinued, order delays without notification, its not a good sign is it. It would seem that…"
"Well, just had an email back from Mathmos. I asked them about delivery of the white astro bottles because my daughter has ordered one and wants to know when shes going to get it.
They are saying that they have to catch up with their regular…"
"Glad to hear someone is happy with the io both my First 100’s had flaking blistered & bubbled chrome and I've read lots of other stories about the poor quality yet the website says each io is double checked and only the BEST pieces…"
"I agree, having to wait until late august is rediculous. I dont know what theyre playing at either. I have heard several excuses. 1. Due to high demand. 2. Cant get the parts, lame excuse. It cant be the former as it only has 4 reviews on feefo, so…"
"I bought one but havent heard a peep since. You would have thought that they might just keep people in the loop as to and when they might get their bottles but no. And the same with the io lamp, they are saying the end of august for orders placed…"
"I wish they would have offered the Lunar and IO bottle with white wax too. Why not fill all styles with the combo while at it. I bought one Astro white wax bottle. "
"I love the fluidiums and am proud to own three. However i did not really like the sheer amount of light bleed from them and think a metal base would have been much more practical. It is such a shame that they are discontinued.
Back on track though,…"
"The Fluidium is a really sexy lamp and it would be great to see it back again. In glass would be nice and a multicolor glass would be very cool. I frosted white glass base like the Opal in plastic would be beautiful. "
"I'd expect a silicone gasket (or similar) between the bottle and base and cap, but it certainly seems doable. I always thought the Fluidium would be a good candidate for a glass base because of the issues it had with heat."

- Hi there and welcome to Oozing Goo. I've had trouble with these Mathmos bulbs. One blew after just a handful of runs (copper heritage Astro) the other one fared far worse still, just 20 minutes or less (new Astro metallic). None too impressed although Mathmos did kindly send some replacement bulbs.
