@JugglingWithEggs I read a bit about it a few months ago because my SO needed one for one of her science classes. All we could find in town were the Chinese ones. As a side note on longevity... it came with an already broken bulb.

That’s crap about the bulb…I honestly don’t know how mine is still going and it’s had 9 house moves!

Replacing the bulb is difficult. I found one that was the right size AND incandescent, but it wasn't hot enough to melt the "lava". (Which I am pretty sure is just colored wax.)
