me too but it looks like a never ending horror. will the bottles fall when you have a party and that one drunk fuck thinks its cool to shake it a little or will it just ruin the oil/wax mix? will i sell my first born to pay for the power bill? does this pollock-esk mix of colors do the idea of a lava lamp justice? and so on…
Lava lamps aren’t significantly more expensive to operate than a standard bulb. Depending on the size of the lamp; 25w to 100w bulbs are used. Normally halogen or some other hot running bulb.
From experience, shaking the bottle when hot will make the wax bits smaller (can burn hands), but they will reconstitute over time. Shaking while cold is the same but you don’t get as many pieces and you don’t burn your hands.
mine did not reconstitute over time ever. also those dont look like real mathmos. also running so many lava lights is still pretty energy consuming. just because you can do it doesnt mean you should. i’d still like to experience what this mix of lights really looks.
I love this!

Everything else is a taste issue.
