Ok folks - back in October I mentioned uploading a video of my custom made 27'' Grande lava lamp however this site will not allow me to do so due to either format issues or too large a file. I shot the short 25 second videos using my iphone not sure why they will not upload. I decided to snip shots from the videos taken of the lamp in full blown motion so you could see how awesome it is. The lamp looks more like it's a orangish purple color - rest assured it's black lava and orange liquid. It's…See More

I noticed the plug was halfway…See More
