Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Hey all,

I really need some input here with my Giant I can't seem to figure this one out. Ok so this Giant of mine is driving me nuts it's in pristine condition and I want it to flow like it is but no dice! The flow seems to start out fine but then after about an hour or so it does this (see attachment). Overheating? not so sure but possibly. I have tried everything dimmer,different bases, bulbs, I even made a custom heat ring for it out of a 32oz base. So the only thing left to do I think is to try a different coil but I do not wanna open this lamp up if I don't have to. But if I do have to resort to this to get it to flow I will. This is SUCH a beautiful lamp and if it would flow properly it would be absolutely stunning! Oh by the way the heat ring is out of it now and the wax does not come of the coil at all.

great to hear, tim!  i bet the flow is out of this world.

Giants are awesome that's for sure! I think I found a new obsession LOL. I would like to find a red/clear one but I know its slim pickens when it comes to Giants but you never know what one might find. So i'll be on the look out!

Hello I have the same lamp. verify its a 100 watt bulb sometimes an old bulb might be going out. If there's a fan blowing near it or the season may affect it wait until this summer it'll perform better. don't run it unattended if possible .
