Dual Lava
🌋✨ Dual Lava Cup FAQ✨🌋
What is a Dual Lava Cup?
A Dual Lava Cup is a mesmerizing double-wall cup that creates a flowing lava-like effect inside the cup. The movement is achieved using specially formulated liquids and pigments that slowly move and swirl throughout the cup, creating a beautiful and unique visual effect.
What does "Dual Lava" mean?
Dual Lava means that both the oil and the lava are colored, creating a vibrant and eye-catching design.
Prefer a different look? No problem! If you would like the oil to remain clear while keeping the lava colored, that is also an available option.
Are Lava Cups high maintenance?
Yes. Lava Cups are one of the most beautiful cup styles we offer, but they are also the most high maintenance.
Unlike other flow styles, lava cups must be activated after they have been sitting in order to get the lava moving again.
To activate the lava, simply flip the cup completely upside down several times until the lava begins flowing.
The longer the cup sits without movement, the longer it may take to reactivate.
Why does my lava take longer to move after sitting for a while?
This is completely normal!
When a lava cup sits unused for days, the lava settles and becomes more difficult to move. As a result, additional flips may be needed to get the lava flowing again.
Many customers flip their lava cups daily to help maintain smooth movement and keep the lava flowing beautifully.
Can I choose how fast the lava moves?
Absolutely! We can customize the lava flow speed to your preference.

What is the best flow option?
It depends on your preference!
✔️ Fast Flow → Best for lower maintenance and easier activation.
✔️ Medium Flow → Balanced movement and maintenance.
✔️ Slow Flow → Most beautiful and dramatic lava effect, but requires the most activation.
Can I add glitter to my Lava Cup?
Yes! Your cup is fully customizable.
However, we generally recommend using a small amount of glitter in lava cups because excessive glitter can interfere with the lava movement and flow.
If you love glitter, we can absolutely add more—just keep in mind that more glitter may affect the overall lava effect.
Will my Lava Cup stay beautiful forever?
Lava Cups are made using paint-based lava solutions. Over time, it is normal for the paint to gradually dry, separate, or change appearance.
With proper care and regular movement, your lava cup can remain beautiful and enjoyable for a long time.
How can I keep my Lava Cup looking its best?
✨ Flip the cup regularly to keep the lava active.
✨ Avoid leaving the cup sitting untouched for extended periods.
✨ Understand that some activation is required before the lava begins flowing.
✨ Store and handle your cup with care.
✨ Use realistic expectations—lava cups are handmade art pieces and naturally evolve over time.
💖 Final Reminder
Dual Lava Cups are truly one of the most stunning cup styles available. Their beautiful flowing movement is what makes them so special. While they do require more maintenance than other cup styles, many customers find the gorgeous lava effect well worth the extra care. 🌋✨💕
