Re: Need help!! Is reptilebasics safe?

My VE-200 thermostats seem to be working well. I definitely prefer the proportional setting. With either my little UTH or CHE I used dimmer cords designed for lamps and a Willhi t-stat. That set up worked okay but took a lot more fiddling to get the temps dialed in.

Am thinking of adding the night drop module. It is comparatively inexpensive and feel like I should have ordered when I originally purchased the VE-200's.

That's the issue with VE's...adding modules; whereas if you buy a Herpstat, for instance, you get all that functionality built into the thermostat.

Or, you just buy the VE-300

I run the 300's for all of my T-stats. I have one Herpstat 1 Basic, but only use it for incubator. I just like VE-300s much better.
