Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Please enjoy the cheesy music bed I chose. :) This is a hard lamp to film, but here's my best attempt.

It's not bad! Looks better in person than in pics. It's actually very neat to watch. I got this from Amazon for $18 shipped.

EDIT: apparently, this is supposed to have GLITTER in it. Either the glitter is dissolved, or Lava Lite's idea of glitter is different than mine. There is NO glitter in this lamp. There IS white "stuff" in there - looks like the same kinda stuff that's in snow globes.

Erin, could you pop the top and add glitter?  I know you probably have to use special glitter for something like that because it involves going into liquid, but hummm???

There's no way I'm opening this up. I did think about it, but you're right - I'd have to find the right glitter and hope it didn't stick. Also, the top is sealed, so I'm sure I'd break it in an attempt to fix it. :P

I agree.  Sometimes it's just not worth the aggravation.

When I got the cloudy emerald Clearview from them they exchanged it for me, all shipping covered by Amazon. When the replacement arrived cloudy I put in for another exchange but they instead informed me that they would dispatch a return label and I would get a refund. I told them I would rather have a proper lamp than the money back, they then just gave me a refund and told me to dispose of the lamp if desired.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the info Vox. I just may try a return since I really would like to have glitter in this tornado lamp.  But it makes me wonder if this is what the glitter turns into after several months of sitting. :-/

Erin, in my sifting through the ebay pages, one of these came up that said, "new style, doesn't get as hot", so I'm wondering if your initial thoughts on them making 2 different styles might have been correct.  If you're thinking about a return, I would first either email LL or give Susan a call and ask her what she knows about this.  That way, if there were 2 styles offered, you can opt for the one that has the glitter.  I don't see why glitter versus no glitter would have anything to do with it becoming hot or not and not quite sure the person that listed the ebay sale had their info straight, but just a thought.  I do know I've heard Amazon is pretty good as far as returns from people that I know use them a lot.

Amazon is EXCELLENT with returns. That, I know. The box of this lamp does indeed say glitter. I double-checked. However, I wouldn't put it past Lava Lite to say/show one thing and do another, as evidenced by their product renderings of their Clearview lamps which show the switch on the front of the lamp when in reality, it's in the back, near the power cord. 

I may just write LL and see what they say. I'd prefer glitter...

From the vids I saw of the ones with glitter Erin, it does throw a nice sparkle outwards.......and yep, who knows what you're gonna pull out of that box when it comes to LL and their pics, lol!!!  Didn't they have a small amount of lamps back in the day that stated black lava, but the lamp was actually chocolate?? 

Comment by Erin on August 25, 2014 at 10:01am

The chocolate lamps were a weird batch of black that came out brown... which wasn't a horrible thing, as the brown was kinda cool. They didn't turn brown - they came that way.

Here's what I emailed Lava Lite:

Hello! I recently bought one of your Color-Phasing Tornado Lava Lamps off of amazon.com. I really liked it, but then, as I was looking at other videos of them on YouTube, I noticed that some of them had glitter in them. I then checked out the description and the box itself, and sure enough, it does mention glitter ("glitter action"). Yet, my lamp has no glitter in it - only what I can describe as white "fluff" like you'd see in a snowglobe.

Was the glitter in these lamps replaced with this white stuff, or is it possible that the glitter disintegrated into this white material? I'd really prefer to have a tornado lamp with glitter and not the white material.

Here's my video:

And here's ones with glitter:

Any help you can provide would be great! Thank you so much.
