Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

I've been on here for a little over a week now and am relatively new to lava lamps.  I have been enjoying all the photographs and information regarding lava lamp care.  I purchased my my first lava lamp (an 8oz Lava Lite) from the Salvation Army a couple of blocks from where I live about four years ago.

 

A few questions, if you will...recently I purchased some lava globes from American Science & Surplus website.  The one I recognized as the 32oz. Lava Lite globe, based on the dimensions.  I will be attempting to create a couple with the goo kits that are still on their way in delivery.  The globes even came with spring coils.

 

The other globe I was curious about and only purchased one of, was the "larger" one, as I was not familiar with.  Does anyone know what "brand" it is?  I seems like the "grande."  Is that the 52oz one?  I have uploaded a picture side by side for comparison.  Unfortunately, this one did not come with a spring coil.

 

Also, at my local Salvation Army, I puchased what appears to be a lava lamp base for 75 cents.  I'm not sure what fits it.  The 32oz seems too small and the "larger" ones seems to be too big. 

 

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

The larger globe looks to be a 52oz globe and that base is a Carlisle base, it uses a 32 oz globe, but it sits a bit deeper than the classic style bases do.  Though your globe may just be of a different generation than that base is.  I have 3 slightly different 32 oz globes in my collection.

Hi! :)

The first picture is a 32oz and a 52oz. A grande is 250oz.

I'm having trouble remembering the name of the vintage base model, but most people here will know.

Yep, nice Carlisle base. Good find!

You are running my old poor nova too hot. The base is a carlisle base, which is worth a lot more than what you paid for it.

Welcome to the Goo! 

Thanks for the replies everyone.

 

Autumn, I put a 40-watt bulb like the base suggested, should I change to a 25 watt? What kind of bulb did you have on it?

 

If wanted to find a coil, how would I go about looking for one, or perphaps making one for the 52oz globe?

I just realized that I have a Carlisle...thanks for the picture link Autumn.  I consinder myself very new to collecting lava lamps...doh!  I just received a package about half an hour ago of 14 empty globes from a member of Oozing Goo who was getting rid of them...all various shapes and sizes.  One of them appears to be a Carlisle globe...it has that pointed "hip" that was in the Carlisle link and seemed to be a match to the Carlisle I currently own.

 

I saw that on the link there were only three color variations on the Carlisle, but upon looking at "More Photos" there seems to have been more.

Hi Carlos, welcome to Oozing Goo - there is plenty of information on hear so dig around and you will probably find the answers.

If I were you I would sell the Carlisle base and buy some complete lamps with it

For the nova i think a 30w R39 bulb should be fine 25w I don't think would be enough

Finding coils - people have got them from a place called Lowe's as I am in the UK I don't know about this but hear is a previous thread about it.

Can anyone tell me a little more about the Nova lava lamp, tried searching on the forums here and on Google, but nothing comes up that matches it.  All I get is something called Nova Illusion.

Yeah, 32oz left and 52oz right and of course a Grande bottle is a whole lot bigger!

 

Nice score on the vintage base by the way.

 

Nice to have you join the forum.
