I've found that the easiest and cheapest method is to buy a cheap night light,plug it into an extention cord,plug it in and drop it into a styrofoam cooler.I've always have had problems with contamination when using water and a fishtank heater.
Using the above method,i can keep my incubator at 90F with a 7 watt light,about 80F with a 4 watt bulb. Simple and cheap!!

yeah.. i like that idea... and you can cover it in tin foil to keep it dark in there...
well.. have you done it this way (the tin foil thing)? and what were your results by doing so..
a cooler you say.. hrmm.m.... maybe need to test out bigger bulbs and bigger setups....
but it seems that the aquarium heater is lacking... well... if bigger space is used.... if i were to have a big area to heat up... a 60w bulb well be doing better then.. lets say 250w heater in a bottle....

Lots better to put your jars in a light resistant bag,or wrap with foil. Works great! No water to grow bacteria/contaminates..Real easy to control the temp by using a differnt wattage bulb or propping the cover open a little. I've been using a styrofoam cooler that set me back $1.99! Give it a try.

In reply to:
I have the quintessential GHETTO incubator. I have my jars in a cardboard box by the heat vent. you know how I can keep them at the right temp? The thermostat.
Bro please tell me you don't have your heat turned up to 83 to 84 degrees.

Yeah there are hot spots.. I was thinking about putting the bulb in a slightly vented tin can. The reason I said it was better not to wrap the bulb is that it would over heat it,melt the nightlight/burn out the bulb.

If you really want to get a sales person of your back start telling them the truth. If they ask what the heater is for, tell them its for an incubator. If they ask what you need the incubater for, tell them you need it to keep the mycelium warm and then go into alot of technical talk about mycelium. Some guy working at a pet shop is going to be so far out of his depth he's just going to look at you and just say "uh-huh, well I really don't know enough about that to help ya, I'll be over here if ya have any more questions"
I do the same when I buy anything for illegal purposes. Just tell the truth and omit the parts like that the mycelium your incubating will soon fruit a illegal psychodelic mushroom
