LAVA BRAND

Has 'Lava' brand changed their formula? I bought a Yellow/pink lamp from Amazon because I liked the colour and it came with a little 25w G9 bulb. Apart from arriving a bit cloudy (it has cleared a bit up now) it seems to run great! Nice flow and it doesn't overheat quickly.

It's the 14.5 inch black base and cap. Runs for ages without overheating. They have a cool volcano one I like, they also have a cool one called 'Cosmic Flow' on Amazon.

I have the fish base one and it also has a pretty good flow for extended periods. I do not always follow the 8-10 hour guideline but it maintains good flow for quite awhile. Mine is also slightly cloudy and the flow is not perfect but it was much better than I was expected based on what I had heard. It is my first one though so I do not really have a comparion.

I have some older one that overheat quickly and gather at the top, this one is good for about 6 hours before the goo forms into smaller balls. I think it might be the newer bulbs though. I have bought small Edison screw to G9 adapters for my Mathmos lamps. They might be too big for my cheeper lamps, but I'll try them.
