<p>Can Glycerol be used instead? It's got a way higher density (1.26 g/cm³) compared to Propylene Glycol (1.04 g/cm³). So a much smaller amount of Glycerol should do the same job.</p>

<p>yeah yeah it's warm enough, in fact it ran for 1h or 2 doing that elongated involving thing then it started doing tiny bubbles like when the oil is dammaged. So I turned it off.</p>

<p>Are you sure it's hot enough? it may just be that your bulb needs replacing. They tend to start stringy when they are warming up then eventually shift to breaking into blobs</p>
