Status update on the colossus gookit

This is after using one bulb extender. I guess I need another. It just doesn't do much.

I just did a 52 white/clear kit that was giving me flow issues..i know it's a coil issue because the stock lamp flowed with the same problems, but back to you.......keep up the good work, it will pay off when you get to sit back, watch and enjoy the flow!!!

By the way, I LOVE my cheetah lamp....it's included in a few of my vids, hee hee hee

Comment by Cowmatian on December 28, 2014 at 9:46am: So far, so good! I agree that the slight density increase of the water will do the trick. I don't think I'd be brave enough to take on such a huge lamp! I can't wait to see how it turns out

Comment by Tim on December 25, 2014 at 2:42pm: Autumn, how much goo did you need to use?

Comment by Critter on December 25, 2014 at 6:39am: Autumn. That is what I would do....try a VERY slight increase in fluid density. But since their wax is only slightly heavier than pure water (when the batch is correct) only the very slightest increase is possible or the wax will just plain float. I think you are close to getting it.

Oh, and thanks so much for the goo it did arrive.

Comment by Autumn on December 25, 2014 at 12:20am: The lamp got so hot that the wax turned translucent. I'm starting to think the goo kit formula is off... again. This makes the 3rd batch from them that has had problems. At least this batch doesn't stick to globes. I need to make sure propylene glycol doesn't cloud the water up any. If it stays clear I am going to try to make the water denser.

Comment by Carol on December 23, 2014 at 10:10pm: In my experience, and from what I've heard, the never Magama goo needs more heat to flow. None of my 52's will flow on a stock 40 watter. I have to use a 60 watt garage door opener bulb with a dimmer to achieve flow.
