Lava lamps can take a long time to heat up. My 27" lamp takes a solid 5-6 hours to get fully flowing. Smaller lamps are usually in the 1-3 hour range. ... Thanks so much for all the info! I have had my lava lamp for 3 years now and have never had an issue. As of late, though, it seems my lamp isn't heating up enough to allow the wax to flow.

One of my lava lamps has gone strange. The purple lava isn't flowing properly. It's sticking to the sides. It's flowing up the walls and not fully liquifying.
