My First Lava Lamp was:: I have purchased two different lava lamps at garage sales and both have the same problem. Lava does not flow. It has a small glob on top and a larger glob on the bottom but basically nothing happens even after hours of being plugged in. I purchased these for a granddaughter and I am very disappointed. Would like to get them going again.

It is possible to get replacement globes i'm sure, just as we have here in the UK where i'm from. (UK - home of Mathmos lava lamps). I'm afraid to say too, some of the more recent lava world produce made in China leaves a lot to be desired quality wise and that the lava doesn't always flow too well. Are these recent bulid lamps or vintage? Why not post a pic to help us find a solution'.
