LavaMeister's Comments

Hi, LavaMeister thank you for the warm welcome to oozing goo. I have just started on the lava lamp collecting scene.I hope to add to my collection and get some help helpful tips along the way.

thankyou for the welcome :) will post pics of my lava soon as i fix it!

Thank You for the warning and I think if weather permits I will try this outside. I appreciate your advise and will take creating a lamp in a more serious vain. Take Care, Kathy

thanks for the warm welcome.

I am learning about making a lava lamp. I think that I have all the ingredients, just have not had time to play with it yet. I needed to make this for my final in 3-D Design( Graphic Design Major ) So have since, started on a sandscape. Still trying to get the silicone to dry between the glass. My project had to be kinetic and is due next week. Any advise is welcome and thankyou for the welcome Kathy

Thankyou for the warm welcome LavaMeister. This is a whole new world for me. Its hard to believe so many are into lava. At last I am not alone lol.

Thanks! Actually, I joined OozingGoo out of curiosity. I would like to build a flat panel, wall mounted lava "box" and this seems like a good place to start. Do you think a wall mount lava box would work?

Hi thanks for leaving a message cannot believe how hooked i am with my Lava lamps xx

hey lavameister-

thanks for the welcome- you're right about where we purchased our lamps:
walmart and spencers- two of them- the other two, identical in height though not colors,
were sent to us from the lavalite company as replacements for the first dysfunctional 2-
and as pleased as we are with their generosity, we now have 4 dysfunctional lamps-

the upside to this story is finding this site! and perhaps after doing some reading on
lava lamp first-aid we'll be able to turn our dysfunctional lamps into happy campers --
like bob ross trees ...

i do remember where i was when the 1st lunar landing was made- i was 9 years old-
it was a very hot day! and we were gathered round a little black and white tv in a small
bungalow, a vacation rental "down the shore" -- seaside heights, new jersey-

no education here to speak of, other than hard knocks- some traveling done while
employed with a carnival and some done on my own- also a love for go fast machinery- mostly as an observer, though i rode a honda 750 for a little while- i've attended air shows
and cruising the coast in mississippi twice- used to love to ride coasters-
below is a link to clip from one of my favorite simpsons episodes! :

global warming? i'm all for cleaning up the environment- and appreciating the fact that
crocodiles might have been around longer than we have- i also buy into philosophers,
like george carlin- he said earth produced humans because she wanted a little plastic
and didn't know how to make it herself ...

and that the earth will do just fine with or without us-

have a nice day!

Thank you for comment. I hope to learn alot here. Thanks again.

Cool, thanks!

Hi, yeah, I was really confused on some points about different lamps, and the comment was full of newbie crap comparing your lamps to mine and asking why there was this/that difference. I realized after some reading that I had a 16" '92 blue/white (which is really a sickly yellow I dislike) on a brushed-brass base.

I was wondering why the lava wasn't a bright green like the lamp on the far right in the four-lamp photo. Well, because it's a 14.5" modern blue/yellow, I think. I love the color, as well as the current purple/yellow (the two you bought and returned,) but after reading the archives, I'm now afraid of getting screwed by a China lamp. :(

By the by, you wouldn't happen to know what model name/number my lamp is? I figure I'd ask you directly, since you seem to have the same lamp in one of your single photos, instead of clogging up the forum. #03 920707. That's the numbers I'm going by for an ID.

Thanks!

Yes, the lamp looks really nice. Sweet! I won 3 lamps yesterday on eBay and bought 5 more today from LampsPlus. But I am going to start going for those Wizard and older ones now. And sorry, i didnt mean to imply I was looking for you to ship to me bro. (I have a contact in SC that said she would do it so I am ok there. I am also asking sellers if they will make an exception. So, I am think I am good there for now but thanks for the future consideration. You know what I would like to have though is a checklist of all the lave lamps, especially the older ones so I can check off what i get! LOL I have a bad collecting addiction and I tend to try and get everything! HAHAH Does such a list exist somewhere? Thanks again and talk soon my man, Vic

Muchas gracias, look forward to learning some gooey secrets...

Great man, thanks much! There are some nice ones on ebay but they only ship to US addresses! There are some that I know I would win given i am willing to pay! Do you think someone on here would be willing to receive a package and then forward it on to me? I would pay all costs and extra for their trouble. I really want to get some of the old ones with the holes in the base. That one you have in your pic with the the blue and cone top is bad ass!

Yeah, already on the eBay trail! Have some bucks to spare, going start collecting these instead of miniature race cars! LOL Yes, please send me your questions. My email is bmwf1rules@rocketmail.com As time goes on I may bug you with a few questions. Thanks again bro, Vic

Thank you very much for the welcome. I am in Canada which sucks as I cant find lava lamps anywhere. I ordered 3 52 oz from Lava Lite and all were cloudy. They have sent me 3 replacements so now I have 6. I took the black wax/clear out of the tub and that is cloudy too. Am afraid to open the other 2! LOL I have not run the new replacement black/clear yet. Doing lots of reading and research first! May try a restore on one of the original 3 cloudy.

WOW! Your lamps are beautiful! Yes, got a lot of good comments but no one has commented on whether anything can be done regarding the cloudy water or if I just need to write this lamp off. It was sent to me as a Valentine's day gift and my very first lamp. I'm so bummed...it looks NOTHING like yours. I've learned a heck of a lot about lava lamps over the past few days though - very cool.

Sorry it's taken me so long to write back. I had a few lava lamps when I was younger and I recently decided to start collecting and so far I have 8. I was wondering if you know of any websites where I could buy the older versions or vintage lava lamps besides eBay.
