The base model has no alarms, no night drop, no cooling, is pulse proportional. I actually don't get it, the price of the herpstat is the same and for 25$ more you can get a HS1 which has two more safety features (relay and low temp shut down). What is so attractive about the VE? Honest question I simply do not get it.
So your saying i should get a herpstat rather then a ve - 200 ? i was just going off of another thread i read that was saying how good the ve was ok so now ill look into herpstat and the herpstat 1 can be the second one i buy because i do eventualy want 2 of these one fore the rack and one for the incubator but for now i can only afford one so ill switch it between the two like i said earlier and by next season i should have no problem getting another one. So would anyone suggest one they think is better then herpstat thats around 100 130 area price wise?

Like squamish said simplex im going to buy a proportional thermostat for my incubator so if you would like to continue ranting about how people cheap out start your own thread because that no longer applies here. Thank you
