hi lujan have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
I’ve got several friends who run jet a fuel instead of kerosene because it’s approximately 1/3 the price and it seems to work very well do you have any thoughts on this
Just purchased my first Aladdin lamp. Completely ruined the mantle and did some damage to the wick. Got a new mantle and got a new wick but the flame is not symmetrical. In some spots there is almost no flame and in others quite a large flame. Lamp runs but at low power and I get dark spots on the mantle if I turn it up much at all. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks
Well, wound up with a big black spot on the mantle. I went slow, gave it ten minutes to warm up and turned it up slowly. I guess I need to change the mantle now? Also, I'm right at 5000 ftElevation, do I need one of the high altitude chimneys?
+61loneviking First, check your wick to make sure you don't have a long string hanging out. Then fire it up and turn it only halfway or less up. Just leave it burning for a few hours and it will burn the carbon off the mantle from the heat. :) . If you are super high up they do make a globe extension to help pull more air through. It is available on several websites. Hope that helps! Weston
sonsetmarineinc. or aladdin-us dot com. Very nice people there and they have all types of things on sale right now. Check 'em out and best of luck! Weston
Weston, I am in the market for an Alladin, i've heard the model 23 is preferable, my questions if you can help, is should I look for a original 23? or is the new manufacture 23's ok? My other question is which model is the one in your video? Love it, its the same type IM looking for . Thanks so much.
I really don't know what to tell you on the old lamps. If you can find one for a good price then you should be fine. Parts are available to fix them. My model is is Aladdin Genie III I believe. And after my research at the time it was the best bang for the buck. Hope that helps!
Okay Weston, I put in a new wick and charred it and then ever so lightly I cleaned up the wick with the plastic wick cleaner. I still have about three (3) spikes of flame and it will leave carbon on the mantle if I leave it too high but not at 100%. What am I doing wrong to still have the flame spikes below 100%?
Don't run it at 100 percent. It begins to draw fluid faster as it runs and warms up. This can cause the black spots. If there is a small string on the wick hanging out you can snip it with a pair of scissors. And the carbon spots will come off if you leave it running at about 50%-75% for an hour. They will go away. :) Cheers!
Thanks Weston. I'll check to see if I have a wick thread or three on the wick that would cause the flame spikes. I know from experience to lower the wick to get rid of the carbon build up. Bummer since I thought that a new good wick with a carbon run would give me a 360 degree blue flame. I'll keep on trying. I really like the Aladdin lamp I have but I seem to always need to keep an eye on the flame. It is just a little frustrating for me. Thanks for your input.
Safe to use indoors in small places like an RV? How does the mantle survive being in a RV with the jolts in the road shaking it about? Had an Aladdin table lamp in my apartment long ago which heated the Living Room with a nice white light really nice on Winter nights. Had to get rid of it when the wife said "nothing doing" to it in our new house.
WestonSummers Hello, sorry I did not comment in English. I'm from Brazil and I speak only Portuguese. I did the translation from Google Translate. What I said before was: "Long live America, the US still can find these good things to buy and enjoy, in Brazil unfortunately do not have access to lamps for decades." In Brazil everything is good expensive costs because the government building in taxes, in America people have access to good quality items. I admire America and the American people.
Dednerso da Capitinga I use google translate all the time. I wish I spoke Spanish better but I don't. :) Can you order things off the internet and have them shipped to you? There are lots of great lamps available online.
WestonSummers Hello, I know that in America there are many good things and good prices. But I do not know how to buy a Alladin lamp so far. I think the price increase came when the Brazilian customs. And besides, there's the fact that in Brazil the Post Office is a state monopoly, is an almost bankrupt company because of the corruption of their political managers. I wonder still: Do you know of any websites where I can get this lamp in the video, for example?
@@WestonSummers He can order crap online but the import duties in Brazil are absurd, your lamps would probably cost $1,000 USD+ in Brazil unless you opened a factory manufacturing the lamps in Brazil.
WARNNING DO NOT BUY THESE LAMPS USED AND EXPECT TO GET PARTS FOR IT. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE ANYMORE ANY WHERES. YOU CAN NOT BUY ANY PART OR NEW LAMP ANY WHERES. Looks like the factory went out of business. DO NOT BUY. YOUR BUYING A LAMP YOU CAN'T GET PARTS FOR. WASTE OF MONEY. Just buy a new LED LANTERN.
Probably a hundred years of experience in a 5-minute video and all rolled up in one cute lovable fuzzball
A proper review. Excellent. Even as someone who's had one in their home for years, still learned something new.
I love this dudes energy you go brother

It's amazing to see the improvements even in something so simple, Thanks
Very helpful just for one of these Aladdins.
Thank you very much for posting this; it is very informative.
I’ve got several friends who run jet a fuel instead of kerosene because it’s approximately 1/3 the price and it seems to work very well do you have any thoughts on this
Jet fuel is highly refined kerosene.
Should not be a problem.
Where do they find jet fuel ?
@@900stx7go to an airport and ask to buy Jet-A.
Great instruction. Thanks. I overcooked my mantle, it's totally covered in soot. Can I burn that off, or should I buy a new mantle? Thanks!
And does it help heat a room ?
Great Information !!! Thanks !!!
Do you have any other lights on in that room. Is that how bright the lamp is?
Thanks. You can teach an old dog new tricks !

Yes, there is a long string on top of the mantle, it came that way. Won't the mantle crumble if I try to trim it off?
Hello, great video thanks for sharing, do you know where can I order mantles for an Aladdin lamp?
sonsetmarineinc. or aladdin-us dot com.
Very nice people there and they have all types of things on sale right now. Check 'em out and best of luck! Weston
WestonSummers Thank you Weston, will give them a try

divisioneight I use mine exclusively indoors. I would carry a spare mantle if I was going in an RV for sure.

Viva a América, nos EUA ainda se pode achar essas boas coisas para comprar e fruir, no Brasil infelizmente não temos acesso a lampiões há décadas.
Dednerso da Capitinga Please comment in English! :) And the Aladdin company will happily ship to brazil!

What would cause a wick to burn only half way around the top
You wick has too much carbon build up. Use the wick trimmer tool and level everything out. You should be fine after that. Cheers - Weston

i have a good blue oil lamp in my home plus smell good from oil...
