    VE-300x2
    So I ended up getting a VE-300x2 today at the expo. I was originally going for a herpstat 2 but got a really good deal on the viv plus the flexwatt I needed. Just wondering if anyone has any pros and cons with the two.

    Thanks,
    Sky

    How much did you pay? From reptile basics?

    Lol. That's where I got mine too! I've dealt with them a few times and always a good experience. I ended up getting 10' of 4" and 4' of 11" flexwatt along with the thermostat.

    I only have Herpstats and a single Helix, so I can't say. I know they're pretty popular (the VE series) and if you got a deal on them, all the better.

    Thanks. I'll be running my racks off of it from now on. I've been running a basic herpstat up until now which will now become my incubator thermostat.

    I'm a fan of VE thermostats. I also use Helix and Herpstat. You can't go wrong with any of them. All three are good quality thermostats. Good purchase. :gj:

    Thanks. Hopefully I'll be building my adult rack this weekend coming.

    The only comment especially with a rack i would HIGHLY recommend a fail safe t-stat. The fact that if the probe is ever pulled loose the VE will try to overheat the rack is reason enough for the second t-stat. The hydrofarm ones seem to be fairly good at this task, although the reliability of a VE100 might be less concerning.
