so No electric bulb? what if you run out of tea-light candles? I suppose you could gather twigs and leaves from the forest, and kindle a tiny fire… or “stems and leaves” from the latest shipment from Mendocino brought in by 1974 Toyota Corolla. Oh wait, college flashback from 40 years ago. what, it’s legal now?
@pmarin@PooltoyWolf
Yeah I was wondering about that. And also, I wouldn’t think a tea light would last long enough to get a lava lamp hot enough to make it do it’s thing but apparently it does.
@Lynnerizer@pmarin@PooltoyWolf You can find tea lite candles everywhere. If you want to get really groovy you get the scented ones. even Yankee Candle can help you with that.
@mycya4me@pmarin@PooltoyWolf
Yeah, thank you. Actually, I have 3 huge bags of tea lights, 50 per bag. That’s actually why this caught my eye in the first place. Well, besides the fact that I’m a down to earth hippy like girl who I LOVES lava lamps!
I just don’t think it’s safe to use this type of thing when my long haired, super fluffy, cat’s tail could end up catching fire and burning down our home and everyone in it. (even with me sitting in front of it I couldn’t be quick enough)
@Kyeh I was a college student in 1970, so I know what a hippie gaggle looks like in real life. My eyes still have nightmares! (And no, I never owned any of the aforementioned clothing. Or the lava lamp.)
@rockblossom I actually liked the look But I was a pre-teen/early teen and of course everything the older kids were doing seemed so cool. I really liked the London look, the neon colors and psychedelic patterns.
Glad I checked and saw this, what a cool idea! I really hope it works as advertised, and I can use regular tealight candles when the included ones inevitably run out.
This thing actually works really well! I bought one on a whim, hoping but not expecting it to work right…but it does! The heat from a tealight candle is enough to make the ‘lava’ flow and shift around for at least four hours, and the flame even provides enough light to give it that classic lava lamp look. Plus, since I don’t have to plug it in, I can place it almost anywhere. I love it, glad I grabbed one of these!
@Kyeh@mycya4me
I’m glad you reminded me that I have to contact CS. I received the 3 small candles in tin or aluminum (some kind of metal) containers and they were packaged all thrown together in a box with no protection of any kind. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) 2 of them are dented. I didn’t buy them for my own use and I can’t gift them looking like that!
The one thing I can’t figure out is the name ‘Odash’ in the Meh title. It’s not on the product or box anywhere; Schylling holds the US license for LAVA brand products.
@PooltoyWolf Odash (https://www.odashinc.com) was probably the original marketer/seller. They are third-party sellers on Walmart and Amazon, and some items have “Odash” instead of the maker’s name in the product title.
On a slightly related note, the trailers for Disney’s live action update for Lilo & Stitch 2025 are coming in. (Stitch has a scene where, looking for something to drink, chugs a lava lamp.)

Ok this is cool.
@sammydog01 Seconded.
Lava lamps are so hard to dispose of.
@Artimid can’t you just toss them in the ocean?
@Artimid Why would you want to dispose of a lava lamp? They are eternal.
Groovy. Tempting too.
@heartny For reasons I don’t understand, earlier today I had a craving for a Mike Myers: Austin Powers movie.

@pmarin
A can of sterno might work too!
@pmarin
@Lynnerizer Good idea!
@Lynnerizer @pmarin Too large! The good news is tealight candles are very cheap and easy to find.

@Lynnerizer @pmarin @PooltoyWolf I agree I would have to put it up High so my crazy cat could not get to it!
FYI a company has 100 Lava lamps set up to help with computer encryption. Here is the link to an article telling about it!

@mycya4me @pmarin @PooltoyWolf
Very interesting article, thanks!
@Lynnerizer @mycya4me @pmarin I read about that before, I thought it was a form of RNG? Neat!
Nope. Owning this might result in an urge to wear a big peace symbol on a chain, a peasant blouse, floral bell bottoms, and platform sandals.
@rockblossom
Would that be a bad thing?

@Kyeh @rockblossom
@Kyeh @rockblossom To paraphrase Austin Powers, it’s back, baby!
@ircon96 @rockblossom
I love it!
@Kyeh @rockblossom Heck NO especially NOW! with Weird people running the country!
@Kyeh @mycya4me @rockblossom I don’t think the 1960s Weird people are not
the same as the 2020s Weird people.
/image Princess Bride do not think that word means what you think it means
@Kyeh @pmarin @rockblossom I agree 100%
Lava lamps and cats are a bad mix.
@werehatrack So true…especially with an open flame!
Glad I checked and saw this, what a cool idea! I really hope it works as advertised, and I can use regular tealight candles when the included ones inevitably run out.
I found a video.
@sammydog01 Far out!

@PooltoyWolf I like it!
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf I should have bought one. Ooh, available on sidedeal.
Cool
Sadly I ordered one. I can’t get my Groove on due to the Base was broken in several places.
I hope the Gorilla glue will come to the rescue!
