Rhode Island Novelty 18 Inch Blue Rocket Ship Lamp, One Per Order

exact replica of the 1960s version but better made

Product came as expected. Had other Lava lamps before. Do not listen to folks that tell you all is lost if the water is cloudy. Simple fix, hardest thing is removing the cap ( do all of this at your own risk, follow the manufactures safety recommendations, unplug unit, do not do this while hot, etc. This is what I did, do at your own risk. I removed the cap gently with a pair of pliers ( took about 1 min). Pour the water out, and rinse with cold water. Empty bottle and now fill with distilled water. Leave about 1-2 inches space on top. On a separate container, add 1 table spoon of epson salt and mix with a little distilled water. Mix until mixture is clear. Once the lamp warms you will see if the wax eithef stays at bottom or rises to to. Use the solution you made ( make a little more), outside the bottle and use a straw to add a drops at a time, the wax will now start flowing to the top. If the wax now stays on the top, add 1 drop of any clear dishwashing ( any clear liquid soap) until the wax flows as desired.

My lamp isn't full, quater inch of space between the master fluid and the base of the cap cone. Very cloudy on first flow. Cool bottle and base. Did come with extra cap cone. Wouldn't buy again as a lamp to use. But it is a good candidate for custom wax and master fluid combos if you're in the hobby. Can't recommend. Just get a Mathmos 3rd party shipped.

I got this for my boyfriend and he loved it! It was the red one. The water was clear and it works perfectly! Exactly what I wanted!

First one, cloudy. Second one, also cloudy. Been properly cycling for a while now not much improvement the blue is also very lack luster. Its just as murky as the other Rhode Island novelty metalic lamps. The cap is to small that cones with it for the size lamp it comes w a cap that fits 14 inch lamps correctly. Its very much not the right size for a 17. . Comes w 40 w bulbs. The lava itself runs well on 25 wats so be sure to get a dimmer. Base is very stable so it has that going for it.

I ordered the Retro Rocket in blue since the red, which I really wanted was sold out. Guess which color I received? Red! I was happy with the color but the liquid was very cloudy. Rather than return it I changed out the liquid and now it looks great and works well too. Link to refill https://youtu.be/Y_7NiG3DvN8

I like lava lamps. I like rockets. This combines them both.

Beautiful lava lamp. Clear and brightly colored. Speaking of color, after reading the reviews of people receiving different colors than advertised I was excited to see my surprise. It was advertised blue but received a red. I’m happy either way! I’m tempted to buy another to try my luck for another color.
