So yesterday i bought a clear water/ purple wax Premier 16.3'' lava lamp. Plugged it in at around 4pm and left it running throughout the night.
The wax expanded but never actually flowed. Around Midnight it started to have some float up and down, but a lot collected at the top and never actually came back down. So i went to sleep and that is where i left it.
Woke up this morning, around 6am, and the lava lamp was still doing the same thing, a very slow flow with a lot of wax collected at the top (and apparently stuck).
I return it this morning when the mall opened, and got another Premier but this time in a clear water and neon green wax. Plugged it in at 11:10am, it is now 5:03pm. It has expanded, and made a sort of thick column up the side of the globe, but not actually moving.
Is there something i'm missing? my small 14'' lava lamp never had a problem. Do this bigger premier lamps need to be broke in or something? Help?

you need a 60w A15 bulb
score! interesting though that it won't flow correctly with 40w. glad you got it working!
I generally give a new lamp a week to break in. If it's not flowing right by then I consider it a dud. Glad you got if figured out with the 60 watt bulb, you might consider getting a dimmer though. If it starts to show signs of overheating you could dim it down until you get the right flow. It's a shame when these new lamps don't work right.
