Evo Candle lava lamp

• Can I use any Astro Baby or Telstar bottles with Evo?

  No, only use bottles bought within the last three years. Older bottles may sit too near the candle.

• What is a heat diffuser?

  The heat diffuser is found inside the metal cradle part of the base. It ensures even distribution of heat from the tea light to the bottle base.

• Can I use Evo without a heat diffuser?

  It is essential to use a heat diffuser with Evo to ensure the best performance and safety of the product.

• How long should I wait before using Evo?

  Please wait 5 hours or more before using Evo. The bottle needs to warm to room temperature before use. A sudden temperature change could affect the bottle.

• How long should the wick of the tealight be before use?

  Please trim the wick of the tealight to 0.5cm and point it upwards before lighting. Long wicks can occasionally cause flaring of the flame that could affect the bottle.

• How long will the bottle take to flow?

  The bottle will take 45 minutes to 1 hour to flow, depending on ambient conditions.

• Which tealights should I use with my Evo?

  For optimal performance, we recommend using tealights that are 15 mm in height, as tealights can vary in flame height, heating ability, and wick length. Mathmos tealights are recommended, but you can also use other high-quality tealights of the same size. For further recommendations, please check the product page under specifications.

• What bottles are compatible with the Evo?

  Only use Telstar or Baby bottles bought from Mathmos in the last two years. Neo bottles have a plastic coating that will melt, and older Telstar and Baby bottles may sit too near the candle.

• Will candle powered lava lamps work outside?

  Yes, but like any unprotected candle, you need a place with no wind.

• Can I use a Neo Bottle on the Evo?

  No, these bottles are not suitable for use with this product.

• Is the Evo portable?

  It can be positioned anywhere. However, keep away from flammable objects and do not move when lit.

• Can I use other candles in the product?

  No, it has only been designed for use with a tealight.

• Can I use scented candle products?

  We would not recommend these types of candles for this product.

• Why can I see bubbles and small scuff marks in my glass base?

  These are hand pressed from molten glass, so each piece is unique. This is a natural and unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.

• How do I clean the heat diffuser?

  Clean the heat diffuser with a lint-free cloth between uses and avoid using chemicals or abrasives. It is normal for the diffuser to discolour over time.
