I don't trust Vivarium Electronics products. Had one crappy VE2 t-stat with a mis-aligned plug insert that has always been a pain to get the plug in and out of. Also, ordered several thermometer/hygro's with the VE label, and they weren't cheap. JUNK! The number displays of two were wonky right out of the box (missing pixels, and mostly illegible), and none of them ever agreed with eachother, even close, for humidity.

I like Reptile Basics, and I have been happy with the old style RHP's, but I won't order any more now that they are under the VE label.
How long have you been using your RBI panels and how do you set up your thermostat to control them?

I'd be interested to hear more since I haven't seen anyone claim to have and like them before now; most people only post or repost what appears to be the same 2 or 3 examples where the devices failed severely.

I've never owned anything from VE. I went straight from a jumpstart thermostat up to a Herpstat and haven't looked back. Most of my thermometers are acurite and are usually within 1 or 2 degrees and 2 or 3% of each other across the devices and match up with my temp gun.
