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

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.

Been running a VE-300X2 for a few months without an issues I love it :)

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.

Does the display of the VEX2 show both zones at once like the herpstat 2 does?
