whats your heater set on? I dont know but most the teks recommend a 200w i believe, i use a 300w. Someone with more knowledge might better help you isolate your problem but check into that for the time being.

100W should be plenty. if you have to, just toss a blanket over top.

Depending on the temp of the room your TIT is in...the 100 watt heater might be too small.

I have one TIT that has a 100 watt submersible heater... its in my furnace room that stays at 73 to 76 degrees F.
The TIT only reaches 82 degrees F....cause the 100 watt heater is maxed out.
But I like 81 degrees F for inucubation.
So...I'd say that you need a bigger submersible heater my friend.

yep...try the blanket wrapped around the TIT first.
No use spending another $30 or so bucks on another heater til you try to make the one you have work.

oh good old walmart, they will take anything back. Once upon a time my girlfriends parents bought a pound or so of peppered turkey from the deli. Left it on the table overnight and the next day. HEY this meat is rotted! Lets return it! ...and they did for a full refund /sigh

Good call
I wouldn't go over 200 watts either.
The heater will turn on and off too much...which will wear it out faster...or so I have been told.
