<p>The way that seemed to work for me was to get the lamp flowing and then dim the light as low as you can and it stil flow and just let it run like that. I call this lava rehab. </p>

<p>I personally, don't like them, they heat fast at the bottom and the wax raises quickly into cold water, unlike the other tapered designs where the cold water at the top is minimized. I am not a scientist by any means, but I feel that the wax in the Fluidium wont live as long as other designs, again, this is just a personal opinion of mine, but I have read some things that confirm my suspicions, best lava lamp by Mathmos has to be the Jets, I wish they would bring them back!

They flow for hours without signs of over heating, and have the best snaking motion EVER! Which I am a big fan of... sorry I am rambling a bit...lol</p>

<p>It could be 'chunky wax' - check this out on ways to fix it <a href="http://oozinggoo.ning.com/page/chunky-wax" target="_self">http://oozinggoo.ning.com/page/chunky-wax</a></p>
<p>As for the bubbly flow - the best way to fix that is to use a dimmer and change the power to what works best for the lamp when its flowing.</p>

<p>Bubbly lava is a problem no one's really managed to solve. Some have tried spinning the lava. vibrating the lava and poking the lava, but it seems the bubbles all come back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grainy lava seems to happen when the wax starts to separate. I notice this most on older lamps, though sometimes I'll see it on 90s lamps. Kinda looks like the wax has chunks in it. Usually, once the lava is fully heated up and running, those go away. </p>

<p>Lava can be fussy. ;)</p>
