<p>Ouch ! Takes me back to the shinny chrome IO took 4 attempts to get one that didn’t have chipped & bubbled chrome everywhere.</p>
<p>Family were going to buy me a Saturn & second bottle for my 50th but I have declined the offer due to all the problems I have had. It’s not worth the risk, hassle & possible embarrassment. I would be mortified if they spent that money only to discover issues with the lamp and or bottles.</p>

<p>Hi, mine isn’t a first 100, the bottle arrived cloudy & didn’t fit very well at all, it was replaced with a lovely clear bottle but this one had wax sticking to the glass and it too doesn’t sit level or securely.</p>
<p>I have tried several bottles and all have the same issue.</p>
<p>It’s so frustrating messing about for ages to level a bottle the best I can only for it to start leaning again when the base gets hot!!</p>
<p>It seems to me the lip / ledge that is supposed to support the bottle is not wide enough.</p>
<p>I contacted customer service about this only to be told this is normal and not a fault.</p>
<p>They advised me to rotate the bottle until I’m satisfied ( as if I hadn’t spent ages doing that with various bottles prior to contacting them ).</p>
<p>If I could get my bottles to sit level I would be satisfied and wouldn’t have had to contact them in the first place. </p>
