<p>I have started a small collection of non Lava brand lamps, cheap from Amazon. I am actually surprised how well they flow in comparison. The difference is quite striking! I have even stopped buying Mathmos. I feel their quality control isn't as good as it once was, and they are still expensive! I agree with the dimmer though!</p>

<p>I got the Mother of Pearl lamp last week. I love it! It's quite nice! The flow is pretty good for a China lamp. I get a couple of snakes every now and then. However a dimmer is a must I think! </p>

<p>Yes, I remember about the rubber plug being sucked in. The other one, sorry about, maybe the new one, it will just be a goody. Only time will tell!</p>

<p>Well, I had two Heritage Grandes. The pink one I still have and after only minimal running, there are black bits in the wax and the rubber stopper at the top has started being sucked into the globe. The green one I gifted and it was then lost in a fire. </p>

<p>The bulb thing, well they should last longer, maybe get on locally at loews or home depot, a better brand bulb as who knows what lava lamp throws in.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, can you expand on your expectations down the line? Why? How? blah blah blah :p</p>

<p>Yes. So far, so good. However I think my bulb might need replacing as the lamp now takes forever to flow and isn’t as bright. I’ve run the lamp about 15 times at this point. However, sadly, I do expect to see an issue with this lamp eventually. </p>

<p>Erin, your new grande, yellow liquid red lava, has it held up and still clear and flows well, I want to order one tomorrow before the 20% ends and hope it's still works well.</p>

<p>Oh, I know about Mathmos. I have a few of them. Stunning lamps. But the shipping alone is killer, price-wise. </p>
<p>Lava Lite shipped their production to China in 2003.</p>
<p>I own several vintage Lava Lite lamps and they are spectacular. </p>

<p>I would say buy another Brand like Mathmos.</p>
<p>I have bought some vintage ones and they are good and stay good.</p>
<p>I they were rubbish the previous owners would have tossed them away long time ago.</p>
<p>They are produced in England and even their previous brand Crestworth keeps its value.</p>
<p>Here in the Netherlands all the China-produced lamps loose their value when sold but the Mathmos and Crestworth even gain value over time and thats for a reason. Quality. Better buy…</p>

Better buy one good item than a lott of cheap produced Chines items that only dissapoint you and are a waste of time, expectation and money.</p>
<p>Dont know where Lava lite produces their lamps so correct me if i am wrong but your story is no advertisement for them.</p>
<p>Where do they produce their products?</p>
