Got a brand new Mathmos Fireflow R1 today. I used the supplied tealight. Within 20 minutes the lamp was bubbling very nicely, but within 1 hour it was bubbling furiously, and then within 1.5 hours it…Continue

"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."
"True but it seems to me that if it is truly an issue to them they could simply plastic those components too like the new bottles. "
"It seems pretty clear that reducing the risk of breakage to an absolute minimum was one of the primary design goals of the Neo and iO. That's much harder to do with a glass base and cap."
"I would think that if a glass base and cap were made of borosilicate glass (like the bottles are) there would no real issue from shattering due to heat differentials. The only breakage that would occur would be due to impact and that…"
"I remember being under the impression that the fluidium had a frosted glass base when the were first launched and was a bit disappointed to discover that they were actually plastic.

- 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.
