Nice, but it's the largest commercially available lava lamp. They used to make and sell larger lamps. The Humongo and the Collossus. Both are four feet tall and contain about ten gallons of fluid & lava wax. They only made 35 Humongos for the company's 35th anniversary. Then they made the Collossus a few years later as a luxury sales item. From what I was told recently by a major collector, there were maybe two or three hundred ever sold in the US. To get one today you have to be lucky enough to find a used one for sale and be willing to pay the price.
@@OVERLORDCLOWN There was a couple for sale recently on "Oozing Goo" (Lava Lamp enthusiast website) for $3000 each I think. He wasn't willing to ship them either, you had to show up in person to claim one. Can't say I blame him...
Mine is a normal size and it takes an hour and three quarters to start moving. Those massive ones must take all day. If you just put them on at night when you come in from work, you'd have to put them off before they heated up, cos it would be bedtime by then!
This guy commented on a video of mine about 2 years ago and said to keep up the good work. I didn't realize he was a big deal youtuber. I feel so honored now. Just so you all know, he's a great guy on youtube not just on vids. I need to make more videos. I feel like I'm letting him down. I remember my sister having a lava lamp, but never really knew what they had in them or what made them work. This is a great video.
By brother got this same lava lamp last year for Christmas. Consuming 100 watts, it's definitely an energy hog, for a novelty item. Considering he lives in Southeast Michigan, having the 27 inch and a smaller 14.5 inch in his bedroom in the winter months kinda serves an additional purpose, keeping his room a bit more cozy 😋 while mom and dad lower the thermostat in response to rising energy costs.
@@DKShoneys-dc2dp that and when I was a child in the 1990s one item that was really popular at the time that you now once in a blue moon find at a garage sale or thrift store is the halogen torchiere, typically using 300 watt tubular halogen bulb, and 500 watt versions were also available until UL removed the listing from them sometime in 1996 and limited the wattage to 300, and around that time began to be sold with a wire cage to reduce the fire risk from curtains blowing into the bowl. The bulbs sometimes shattered while in use flinging hot glass fragments onto furniture and carpet, usually from skin oils because someone installed the bulb without wearing clean gloves. Rubbing alcohol and paper towel should be used to clean the halogen bulb if it's ever touched with bare hands. As a result these lamp pretty much vanished from store shelves by the early 2000s and it's been pretty close to 20 years since I last seen one turned on.
I just found a small one at a local road side dump site, it wasn't in a box, it was just sitting on the ground. I figured it wouldn't work since someone threw it away. Took it home plugged it up, the light came on and in about 1hr the stuff inside kinda moved up but nothing exciting. I took the bottle off the base turned it upside down, in the bottom was this spring like coral
1 a.m. wake up everybody my lava lamp is working. I love it. Thanks for posting , it's a lot of fun. I was just getting ready to watch it for a while , now that it's warmed up..
I just bought 2 of the 27" lava lamps. One is purple water & pink lava, and the other is blue water & yellow lava. They are ok, but have the same problems the small ones have- gets cloudy sometimes, starts to produce small bubbles intead of big ones after 4 hours sometimes, etc. But they help to make my 72" screen tv look more expensive. 🥳
Good video i liked it. But the lava lamp is soo big it should do something... Like USB attachment or a clock display... Change color... Bigger should mean more features too! If you build the human size one, put it with a clock or something... USB portals... Make it useful.
I have a small lava lamp. It has a lead light in it and it changes colors and it’s really beautiful. It takes it about two hours to heat up. It’s small but it’s beautiful. I think lava lamps are super cool. That’s why I have one. They are really beautiful.👍😁❤️😃
thanks for posting this. i plan on buying one and i was trying to get an idea of how big it actually is, this video was exactly what i was looking for.
@@millabasset1710 sadly i’ve not seen one being sold for a decade after the lava lamp trend faded, i remember in 2000’s it was a trend to own one and i never had one , i think it’s just my country
I should be getting a lava lamp soon! I didnt know it would take so long to heat up though, but at least I'm getting it in the morning so I can use it at night to read
It has always been my dream to buy a huge lava lamp and then I found one but haven’t bought it yet because the offer only describes how tall the 27 inch lava lamp is. It’s the same lamp in this video. This video is good it even teaches you how to set it up but ever since I discovered the lamp I’ve been looking for information of how wide the lamp is and the video doesn’t say.
I have this exact lamp, got it many years ago but the bulb burnt out, i tried a new bulb but no dice. I didnt use it for maybe 5 years and i decided to fix it up but i could only get 65W bulb. I turned it on again for the first time today and im 11 hours in and a blob has still not made it even half way up to the top. Its crazy how long it takes without 100W bulb. I think it would be great to be able to regulate the temperature better because 100W bulb is too much i think. Sure it takes a long time to get going but o ce it gets there it seems to then get TOO hot and you have to turn it off since all the wax gets stuck in small clumps at the top If there was a good way of getting it up to temp without the bulb the 65w bulb would keep it active much longer since the temp climbs super slowly.
I have 2 x very nice Mathmos lava lamps. I use to have the same looking big lamp as that one in the video, the lamp holder got brittle and broke after years of use, I still have the bottle, its heavy but was a great lamp.
It should arrive with instructions on what to do if it’s cloudy. But I’ve had some that just never cleared up and I returned those. I like them VERY clear.
I have the exact same little lamp. I bought it from Walmart for only 7usd on sale. Took it home kids, what happens if you shake it. I said let's see. Now I have a cloudy lamp. Looking for a way to fix it without poping the cap. I have owned it for one day.
Run it for short bursts. Only long enough for the lava to begin to flow, then turn off and allow to cool completely. Then do it again, and again, and again. It might take several times to get all the "wax" to reconstitute.
I loved your video. I have one 14.5 inch one. I love your giant lava lamp, where did you get it please? I live in Glasgow, so I will have to Google suppliers. Now I am determined to get a giant one like yours. The lamp soothes and mesmerises me and helps me sleep too...
What Amazon link or brand to buy for the small lava lamp or equivalent on your video ? Do you think it's worth spending more for the original Mathmos ? Thanks !

You would need to use incandescent bulbs which are hard to find now.

Never happened to me but got that sounds like a nightmare. Mine does have a wide base so thats good.
When he lifted up the main bottle part, it reminded me of a Russian drinking a bottle of vodka the same size
Haha lol
Where did you get the large size 💚
great video I wish you showed more of the lava lamp near the end though. although it was 1 in the morning
With the huge one you have to wake up early and turn it on to enjoy it
Yeah it takes a while to get it started
Sadly I don’t have a lava lamp

It’s the same lamp in this video. This video is good it even teaches you how to set it up but ever since I discovered the lamp I’ve been looking for information of how wide the lamp is and the video doesn’t say.
It's about 6 inches wide
The base has a 10.5 inch diameter. Make sure you leave extra space around it becase it does get rather warm when running.

If there was a good way of getting it up to temp without the bulb the 65w bulb would keep it active much longer since the temp climbs super slowly.
Try a dimmer - rotary type, inline with the power cord. Wide open until the lava begins to flow, then dial it back 25pct.

It's not a matter of NEED...more like a matter of WANT. Here in the USA, we like things...BIG. Especially if we're in Texas.
Pretty Good Looking 👍

why is there a space/gap in the liquid at the top of the big one? The small one has no gap.
It's probably because it's way bigger volume wise

it seems to me there was too much wax in the bigger lava lamp which limits the amount of Lava Bounce, yes or no?

It should arrive with instructions on what to do if it’s cloudy. But I’ve had some that just never cleared up and I returned those. I like them VERY clear.
I live in a very hot country with expensive electricity bills, so having this is out of the question. It's beautiful tho
