Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

I just snagged a used Grande and, since the flow is pretty good, I'd like to try filtering it before trashing the contents and kitting it. Can anyone recommend a filter that is currently available that will work? I tried searching through some of the threads, but I couldn't find a specific model that is still for sale. I can't remember if it's the carbon filter, the charcoal filter (or both) that are supposed to be avoided. Any advice from those who've had success with this procedure would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 jus, one more question...when you add the salt solution to make the wax rise do you have the lamp running or is it cold?

thanks for the help

Use gravity filter, much better (do a search on this board)

Astra, I put the link for the gravity filter I have up above in this thread for Rob.   I like them too.

The salt solution is added while the lamp is fully heated up and stuck at the "dome" stage.  BUT-hold everything-I just saw a post by GooGeek on a different thread.  He said he's had the best long term results using fog juice.  I have had problems in the long run with sticking, but I've been attributing them to the fact that most of my wax has been exposed at some point or other to the dawn dish soap I used to use (before I switched to bubble solution).  GooGeek may be the guy we should be looking to for answers.  I've never used fog juice so I'll be looking too...

Sorry I thought it was for the classic one.

It is cheaper to buy the filter alone than the kit, then use some tube and a bottle to make your own kit as I did.

No worries, Astra!   I just bought the entire gravity filter, I didn't even think about buying the filter only and then using a tube like you did.  That was a great idea you had!    The gravity filter is the way to go, and works very well for me too.
