Thank you! ;D

Thanks for your comment. Very nice.

Thanks-----I found one today

Thanks Alpha for the welcome. I updated my page, so everyone will be in the know now.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome! I've got to take some pictures so I can show you the very unusual lamps I have.
See you soon. Mick

PS I love lava lamps but my wife hates them. I like those electric lightning ones too but she hates them as well. My kids all like them and my son actually has one. I keep mine at work, have always loved lava lamps (and clocks). To each his own!!

Dear Jerome

Contacted your website becasue of a badly damaged (goo issues) lava lamp that needed repair. It had burnt material inside the wax and would only float to top and not do the proper lava lamp blob thing. I found your website through another wesite that had a way to repair you lava lamp water and get rid of the dodgy goo. I had to make some changes to the plan but by and large my lava lamp is now working perfectly, and its a new colour!

The method I used was based on the method at http://www.moltenmeditation.com/lava.htm, which I believe is on your website, but I didn't have access or didn't think I had access to this yesterday. I cleaned the bad wax out using a wooden spike used in making kebabs (food on a stick), and meticulously picking out the burnt bits as they came up to the top. I also used a paper towel pushed through the hole with the wooden sick to clean the inside of the lava lamp (while it was empty of water and the wax was cold. This worked exceptionally well with some washing up detergent on the paper towel and pushed against the inside of the glass with the kebab stick. I just rinsed out the detergent with cold water before I refilled it.

It's a beauty now (dont know the brand name) but dont care I am happy. I intend to have a look around the website when I get a little more time.

Well thank you for the warm welcome, Jerome!

I've been a fan of lava since, as a small child, I would sit and watch my grandmother's for hours on end. It was blue and I believe the lava was white, but I always remembered it having a blue tint. I can recall her saying that it took a long time to warm up, so it was always a special occasion when it was fired up.

My ex-wife bought me one before we were married, in blue colour. I tried to get it after we split up but she broke it on me. What kind of a person breaks a lava lamp?

I ordered one from Lava Lite last week - a 16.3" with clear liquid and red lava. It arrived but the globe was so cloudy that you couldn't see anything inside. They are supposed to ship me a new one, so hopefully that comes ok.

I also ordered a Mathmos tea-light globe just to see how they work.

Hey Alpha, Yeh i saw the link on the main page the next day, i was just too tired to notice that night i was on here lol! Thanks for inviting me in too, i feel very honoured :)

Hello ALPHA CENTAURI Sir!
Thank you very much for the warm welcome,
It is a privilege indeed to peek into this wonderful world of flotation and blobiness
I raise my glass to you all!!
Peace!

She just got it a week ago for her birthday and she turns it on at bedtime, the blob is pretty much just there - it's the wax sitting at the bottom and never bubbles.

Thanks Alpha,
thats some of my photo work.
I cant wait to learn how to fix my dead lamp and make a few new bizarre ones if I can.The stranger the better, any suggestions.So glad to find Lava lamp people.

Hi, all well here, thanks. Hope things are good for you too.

Hi, thank you for the message. I am here to try and resurrect my lava lamps - both of which have been shaken and no longer function properly.

Cheers

Heyy,

Thanks for the welcome :)

I bought my first lava lamp just a week ago, and now after doing some extensive research, i think its "dead". Its just a blob that floats on the bottom of the lamp. It really sucks that my first one turned out to be so. I will post some pics, maybe you can help me fix this problem, cause i heard that temprature plays a really big role.

Take Care

Thanks for the welcome to this interesting site, Alpha.

As for my Avatar, I didn't know it was showing!

"Avatar is Sanskrit for "descent"; that is, Hindu deities descend to earth and take bodily form. By extension, Avatar has come to mean “the embodiment of a quality, concept, or view of life.”

Seriously, I have a tendency to become an avid collector of one thing after another...these lamps seem to be the current obsession--living in a small home already filled (cluttered is a better word!) withso many items, this may definitely become a problem. Only a true collector understands these obsessions.
