[Abaddon91]

i saw today that reptile basic has a new thermostat the Vivarium Electronics VE-300 wondering if anyone knows anything about them as they are the same price as the helix and im in the market for a thermostat

Looks nice. I may have to test it out here soon...

Looks interesting....you could always call and talk to Rich @ reptile basics - Im sure he would give you his honest opinion on which one was best.

I only have Helix at the moment.

I'm actually looking for a new thermostat to run some racks with a different size heat tape, and I might check this one out. Thanks for the heads up.

This thermostat is the result of three years of research, development and testing here at Reptile Basics.

I'd be willing to use it just based on that right there.

Mine should be in tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works out.

Saw it today at the reptile expo. Seems like a nice unit. Looks really nice, seems to be well made. HOWEVER, since I'm into elctronics, I never buy anything like this until it's been acid tested by a few hundred breeders for some time. I'll look at it again in about 6 months and see what other's experiences have been.

But on the surface, it looks like it will give Hellix a run for their money.

Sure with they would have had this before I ordered my helix.
Someone post up some reviews!!!!
I'm gonna be needing a couple more and this might be the right idea.

Interesting looking it has specs that look like a helix or herpstat but a bit more money 20$ and an extra 200 watts. I wonder what type of probe it is. The guts I mean, the question for me is is the probe accuracy as good as the others? I would guess so but it is a place to save some cash and hide it from the consumer who for the most part uninformed. Does anyone have complete specs?
