Members GeorgeStorm Posted April 24, 2017 Members Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hi, As above, looking to get some decent probes and a thermometer. The current probes/thermometer I've got seem to tap out at around -172-4ish. Been looking at the Voltcraft k102, anyone got anything? Thanks (I'm based in the UK) Edit: Now maybe tempted by a fluke... Edited May 4, 2017 by GeorgeStorm

Thanks (I'm based in the UK) which thermometer do you have, it could be just the probes. these are the probes I bought to use with oc panel and they work down to full pot, but they are expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-80PK-1-Bead-Probe/dp/B00011Q5PW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1493065010&sr=8-3&keywords=fluke%2Bthermometer%2Bk%2Btype%2Bprobes&th=1 I also have the ones from ek and sf3d and they work to full pot. Also the ones on kpc store work full pot. not sure about thermometers though, in almost 4 years I have only used oc panel, it might be slow compared to a fluke but it works fine with full pot temps and never had trouble with it. It allows me to put a number on my cold bug, keep within a range under load and does the job Edited April 24, 2017 by Strong Island

If there was a Kingpingcooling shop in the UK I'd be tempted, but once you add shipping the probes from him are pretty pricey as well

I just only tested those. But they are too much. I usually just bought them when buying other stuff, like when I got ek memory pot and tek 9 fat.
oclocker Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Hi, you're looking for two channel thermometer only? Have a Voltcraft K101 i don't use.
Members GeorgeStorm Posted April 27, 2017 Author Members Posted April 27, 2017 Hi, you're looking for two channel thermometer only? Have a Voltcraft K101 i don't use. I'd be interested, but if you're in the US then I think shipping would make it too expensive, what would you be looking for?
RULE Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 I've a spare voltkraft 101 in Italy. Is pretty accurate, can read -196.5 with prob on ln2 and -193.5 on the base os Venom pot. Send me pm if interested Inviato dal mio SM-A300FU utilizzando Tapatalk
oclocker Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Changed it. I am in EU. What about 50 with shipping included?
Members GeorgeStorm Posted April 28, 2017 Author Members Posted April 28, 2017 Changed it. I am in EU. What about 50 with shipping included? Too pricey for me as I can get it new for less I'm afraid! https://www.rapidonline.com/voltcraft-k102-k-type-thermometer-51-5252 As Rule said to me, I'll probably just buy one new, just thought I'd check to see what's available.
oclocker Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Oh, yes. That's a good price. Would take a new one as well.
Members GeorgeStorm Posted May 4, 2017 Author Members Posted May 4, 2017 So I've been partially convinced that maybe going higher is worth it, anyone got a spare fluke?
zeropluszero Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 shit thats an awesome price on the Voltcraft, I dont think they'd ship to Australia. @RULE how much do you want for yours, I could always do with a backup.

I know! That's why I'm still tempted (despite being told I should just save and get a fluke ) also the apparently slow refresh rate of the voltcraft. If I can't get a fluke for a half decent price then I'll definitely end up getting one.
