Lava Lamp
There was no Funky Light category, so Random Weirdos will work.
About 5 days ago, i bought myself a lava lamp. On the package, it stated that i should let it go for 4-6 hours the first time i use it. I've done that and all, but now everytime i use it, it still takes 40-55 minutes to actually get going with the lava.
My question is, to all of you lava lamp experts, is will the "starting up" time get faster? Is there something i can do to make it go a little faster?
Thanks.

Hello there,
If you leave it in a sunny window during the day, it will be pre-warmed. This should, in turn, make the actual "time-to-lava" decrease substantially.

if you turn it on more often & don't leave it off for as long, it should start to get melty faster, but there's not anything you can do to make it get going in say, five minutes, it'll still take quite a while.

well, i know that in the winter you should turn them on alot beacuse it will freeze. just turn it on alot, i guess, that happenes to mine too!!

Sorry, but it doesn't get faster. Usually the stuff in there floats around for a while then starts to move and stuff. I'm not sure if you can do anything to make it go faster but that stuff is toxic so don't try! I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

No, sorry but it wont get any faster. My lava lamp has always taken an hour to get going, they don't get any quicker as time goes on. Sometimes it doesn't take as long when I leave the lamp near a hot radiator, maybe you could try that.

ok the reason it takes a while is because the wax (or whatever is in it) has to get warmed up. it doesnt take 5 minutes to warm it up. theres a lot so of course its going to take longer. and no, theres no way to speed it up.

I think it will eventually get going faster when it starts working more often. (sry, I'm not a lamp expert) Besta Luck

Unfortunatly on my lava lamp, the first time I lit it up it took 3 hours, but it still took near and hour every SINGLE time I lit it up. Ugh, I'm not quite sure why, I think it's because the lightbulb takes time to heat the "lava" up. If you aren't already using a 60-watt lightbulb, i suggest you change it. I wouldn't recommend anything above that watt though, or it could catch on fire.

Nope, the best thing to do is just leave it running if you dont want to wait.

I've had my lava lamp for quite a while, over five years at least and it still takes just as long to heat up and get going good.
After about ten minutes, it will "squirt" up, then it will still take a half hour to an hour to actually completely melt and start to move around.
My mother recently kidnapped my lava lamp and she usually keeps it on all day, and turns it off for a few hours in the morning. That way, it's pretty much always hot. You could always try that, just don't over do it or it might crack.

my cousin has a lava lamp and hes had for a really long time it take like 10-20 minutes for it to start. It takes a while but it will eventually work quicker.
hope i helped. BuHbYeZ
