Mathmos are simply the BEST there is. My mother still has her polished copper ones from the early 1970s! The colour-changing one is simply awesome! You can keep your Chinese-made rubbish ; I prefer British-made QUALITY.
I soOO wished I had known about Mathmos a long time ago. I've ordered several Lava Lites from Amazon. Nearly every single one of them is defective. Most of them arrive with cloudy water, and despite the packing slip statement that this is normal, and goes away with a few days use, it never remedies itself. I just purchased the Lava Grande from Amazon and ...my heart sank, the minute I opened the box, cloudy water. Thank god Amazon has a great return policy. When I get my refund I'm going Mathmos
Great video. The metal spinners are truely artists. Why, though, did the second metal spinner not have his safety glasses on? C'mon man, you're better than that! Be safe.
@TheFlyingPineapple Which is actually borrowed from Lava Lite. Back in the 60s and early 70s, when Lava Corporation made high-quality lamps, about a quarter of Lava's models were loosely based on Crestworth models. Back then, the two had a polite relationship. But the Fireflow is the first reverse borrow: between 1966 and 1970, Lava Corp. made the Continental and Savoy, the world's only non-electric, candle-powered lava lamps... until now. The old ones are rare and fetch a lot of $.
@SUPERDOOPERTUBER Yeah, I'm convinced. I've ordered several Lava Lites from Amazon, nearly 3/4 of them had cloudy water out of the box, or the lava didn't work properly. I'm so over it. I'm ordering one from the British company.
How does the guy filling the wax know how much to put in? It looks like he is judging it by eye so it is half way up the first part of the bottle, i.e. mid way between the bottom and the angle, am I right?
Ok, so when will you guys start shipping to the U.S.? Really would like to get the Telstar Rocket lamp. Love your products. Too bad you can't get any of my pocket change though.
Disappointed with mathmos lava lamps. I bought a blue/green astro lamp recently and really it looks all green. You can hardly tell it's blue. What a waste of £57.
