How long does it take for your smart Astro to heat up?

I have had mine on for 3 1/2 hours and the bottle is warm and the base is only hand hot the wax has not moved much yet just around the bottom of the bottle.

The wax on our smart astros is also very grainy, I'm hoping that it gets less grainy after they have run some more. I'm sure the instructions tell you to run them for no more than 6 hours. I've not left ours on any longer than that.

That's good to know. The grains in our lamps are not coloured they are white-ish, hard to explain.
