    Where is the best source for refill kits?
  • Tom Bracken

    Thanks Claude,

    What I need to find out, is where to purchase a Goo-Kit . Magma Tower is closed down in terms of being able to order anything online, from them, due to Cov19.

    I have a large "Grand" 26 inch lava lamp that I want to refurbish with new wax.

    I think a nice Neon Color would be what to put inside of it, for "Goo".

    I collect Lava lamps , and at one point was up to about 10 or 12 of them.

    I now have 2 "Grands",  and some smaller normal size ones, that I run.

    A tip for you, for running or operating a Grand, is to take the box it is in, and insulate

    the box with yellow or pink fiber glass insulation.  You can then at the end of the day

    switch off the "Grand" lava lamp, and remove the bottle and put it into this insulated

    cardboard container , overnight.  The next day, "Start up" will only take maybe 15 or 20

    minutes of time, and not the full 6 or 8 hours from room temp, to get the wax flowing.

    Thanks for your help , on this , and any other information you would like to share with

    me about your own experiences using and owning Lava lamps!

    Cheers!

    Tom

    Thanks for the welcome. I am currently searching for a ‘90’s Silver Streak 8625, is there a buy/sell page on the site? I have been mostly getting info and learning and haven’t checked everything out yet. I did notice that the “shop” link seems to be broken.

  • CAPTAIN SKYWALKER

    Hi Claude,

    Thanks for the welcome message.

    If you could let me have an email address (if that's allowed?) we can have a chat about my rocket lamps and stuff. Interested in your liquid kits, very inventive, must have taken some organising.

    Hello Claude,

    Do you know if this website sells Goo Kits, for making one's own goo to put

    into a existing lava lamp.  I have a giant 26 inch lava lamp that currently is empty

    and I need lava wax for it.  Thanks . Tom

  • Tom Bracken

    Thanks very much Claude.

    I think I asked you this months ago, and you said you where just about ready

    to start up this website, however I didn't book mark it down.

    Do you ship to Canada?

    Thanks

    Tom

  • Tom Bracken

    Hello Again Claude,

    I just checked your website and it looks like you

    also sell Florescent dyes for the wax. I haven't seen this before in a lava lamp.

    I would assume that this makes the color much brighter in terms of looking at it.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Pierluigi

    Thank you so much! I've reached here as I have a lava lamp, which I love, that's gone cloudy. I hope to find some wway to get her back to ( almost ) clear.

  • Pierluigi

    It's definitively after 2003, it should be something link 2015 or similar. It's not a branded one, as it could have been bought from ebay or similar, something like a chinese one. 
    I'm really in love with her so I would try to fix if possible.
    What's this "cycling" stuff you're talking about ? 

    Do you mind to explain better, please ?

    Moreover, how can I check if the fluid is only distilled water ? By smell ? 
    Thanks a lot.

    ( If you prefere I will  open a new thread on this ).

    Thanks for the welcome Claude I appreciate it.  I only have Mathmos as have had no good luck with the new china made lavalamp/lite.   One pic from last week of 4 out of the 6 I have Astros ... a few are custom  with blue on red.  

    Just a quick setup to see how it all looked together ... now have 2 in living room 2 in office at home  and one in kids room and one at work.   Too many converters in that pic  lol to step up from 120v to 240v..  Just wanted to get some ideas. 

    I greatly appreciate all the info i have found here as to date.   I prefer the SES bulbs over halogen but can make them work .. the two silvers I have  are from the 90's  with that glow below as if they are hovering ... hard to find these days. 

    Thank you.IMG_0225.jpeg

    Lots of great info to be found here and appreciate all.   

  • FlippinDocks

    Thank you for the warm welcome. I've been mesmerized by the lamps since I was 8 yo. I'm 51 now. I only own 4, but love them dearly.
