"I ran a 250 watt heat lamp in my humungo. Late at night, as it was cooling, I heard a loud pop. The glass had cracked and 10 gallons of goo was leaking on the floor. Just a warning. I have purchased another humungo and have been working on that one."

"Not until it wears out...its got really good flow after dropping in a mathmos lunar coil it'd be a shame to mess with it at this point.  I did have to filter it too when I 1st got it...so its uncapped and ready for a kit once the original…"

"Red as in clear/red or the purple/pink/redish one?  I would love a clear/red one.  Would trade or sell my purple/pink one for it."

"Yea it sounds like you might need a dimmer if 40 watts is too hot, 25 was too cold, and it wouldn't flow.  Probablhy need around 30/35 watts, which an inline dimmer could achieve. Honestly thought I think its just a case of a globe not…"

"That's odd yours is tagged for 25 watt...mine is 40 watt as well.  I don't think the 25 is getting it hot enough to flow."

"Mine's still crystal clear but I don't use it too often.  B/c the first one I had I used it mostly every night after a few months wax started to stick to the sides.  Luckily I was still able to take it back and get another, they…"

"Wow you've got the whole lava lamp part out...I've never un-threaded that part and had the wires exposed.  You should be able to firmly grasp the glass part and the black plastic part and try to rock it side to side...or twist it.…"

"How much for the blue/clear tower, the white/purple tower, and the blue/white regular lava (in your very 1st pic) if you combined shipping to 18708?"

"That's the one mine uses...just a black plastic ring. Can you take a pic of the socket on yours? Maybe there were different versions?"

"I posted to a thread on here somewhere about removing the globe to change the lamp...just search for torichere lava lamp bulb replacement, should come up.  If not I'll try to find it for you.  Basically you need to carefully lift up…"

"I know....I really was looking forward to getting one.  They really should take their site offline too...at least don't keep luring people in.  "

"Anyone ever get one of these?  Still doesn't look like its possible to order.  But there are some videos around...so some must have been made at some point."

"My heritage and rainbow grandes both take about 6-7 hrs to get going.  My Grande from back in 2002 takes about 4.  I think the difference is the holes in the base on the heritage ones.  I haven't tried the rainbow one in a solid…"

"Carefully lift up on the top of the arm that is sitting on the top cap (that's holding up the torchiere part) and remove the cap. Then you will have just enough clearance to pull the globe out at an angle to get to the bulb.  It…"

"great to hear that it cleared up after filtering, jeff!"
