Flow optimization

[Da9L]

So both my grandes are filtered and no more sticking wax..

 

Only remaining thing for me to do is to get them to flow properly..

 

I've got my newest grande to flow as i want to .. So that one is finally done !

 

But the first i got, the most cloudy one is messing with me.. See attached picture for current flow. What would you guys suggest i add to the liquid ? More Glycol or more Surfactant? Most of the wax sticks to the bottom but sometimes small blobs rise to the top and flow nicely.. Sometimes it forms a long column from top to bottom..

Just took a quick shot after i added some more surfactant .. Looks like its getting better, but as you can see its making these very long column thingys.. :P

I would be happy with that - I think leave it for a while and see how it goes

Yeah LampHead told me to do so too.. Guess im just gonna have to learn to be more patient ! :P

How are your lamps doing? What kind of surfactant did you use?

My filtered Grande isn't flowing like it did either. It sets in a blob at the bottom for hours shooting up thin column out of the center. After about 6-7 hrs it starts flowing better.  I was thinking of adding some gookit surfacant. Does anyone know if that will help?

What you should do is add a little bit of Propylene Glycol.. That should get the wax to rise .. The surfactant i have been using seems to cloud up my lamps,

 

But i have given up on those grandes.. Im gonna goo kit them soon i think, just dont know what color i should get.. One of my grandes is flowing nicely though, but not crystal clear, and i dont think im ever gonna be happy enough with that, so better just goo kit them both..
