Fireflow

Just got my new Fireflow! Ran it using the supplied candle, and it ran fine. I used a Tea candle that looked EXACTLY the same as the supplied one, and failed. Only gives a dome shape.
Should I get another brand of tea lights?
Thanks!

I'm using the white candles sold in a pack of 100 at Ikea.

Flawless.

Err,first , which fireflow ? The R1 or the O1
If you bought the O1 fireflow, maybe you should have a higher candle.

You can order Fireflows from Mathmos US? I tried about a week ago and it wouldn't let me.

Cool!

I think the O1 is one of the most innovative tea light lava lamp design !

The candles are flavored? What do you plan on doing, eating them? LOL! Scented candles will work. either use tealight or votive. Votive candles are about 2x bigger than tealight candles. Just don't eat! LOL

I have heard mixed revews but I think the new formular is better as when first released there was issues.

I have a first edition purpal one and when its flowing its grate but it really hasent got heated by a tea light so I will try a votive candle and see what that does, and it it works then grate. If not then i will use epson salts on it and see what happens then.

Nicola had the same issue with a purpal / clear fire flow and got it working using a votive candle http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/fireflow-problem?
