I have 79 unread posts to catch up on but I have to run into a meeting. Before I do, I wanted to show you my Brinzea.
This is Frankenbator. I made a page for it (its in my sig).
By using Flex Watt heat tape I get a more even distribution of heat and the incubator comes back up to regulated heat quicker after candling (about 4 minutes). Using the Flex Watt also allows me to put heat directly over a cup(s) or jar(s) of water to increase humidity during incubation and lockdown. By doing this I avoid using sponges and I don't have the mess, the chance of dripping on eggs, and I don't have to open the incubator as often if at all. I can also run with the vents open and it does not affect the temps because the flex watt is so efficient.
