Anyone else use the $6 walmart timer? I have fire safety on the mind tonight for some reason and i was thinking about upgrading my timer just in case. What do the more expensive timers offer as far as safety? Im only running about 600 watts through the cheapo. thanks.

Actually, I got the $4 timer and It works perfectly once you get it set right. Because its mechanical with just a dial, sometimes the numbers can look to be set right but really it of by like 20-30 minutes. I just plugged it into a lamp on my day of and watched it. Came on at 10 pm, went of at 10:25 am, so I adjusted it.

6 Dollars is probably a 10Amp timer, instead of the normal 15Amp ones many people around here probably use. (Above those for people with a shit load of light they have those industrial ones with things like 30 amp fuses.) If it is capable of running your light then besides a manufacture defect it should be just as safe.

LOL! Im not usually OCD, but I cant trust a timer! Even when I used one, I would still set the alarm clock for midnight to get up and check. So...I dont even bother with a timer anymore. I trust myself to hear the alarm, get up and turn the light off. I wake up between 5:30 and 6 am, anyway, so turning it on is easy.

Clearly, I have no life...

Yeah. When people bash me for liking thick women I tell them, "Im such a man, I require alot more woman than the average guy". Im gonna change it to Bunny de la Cruz or Italia Blue soon. But I like how this one has the "chronic" green background. Nice to see someone else enjoys the hefty ladies.

just pay attention to the total watts. and amps going thru the timer and insure your under the limit all is well. Every product should have its limits on it.

Those timers work fine.... gettin the high quality crap doesn't mean it's the best. i use the timer with the 15 min interval on my aeroponic cloner and on my veg room and it works fine. Mask that fat chick is a lot of meat too much for me but i love tits

If you have never had a big gurl, you are missin out on some good shit. I dont like sloppy, jiggle fat . I like plump, juicy, curvy-ness. NOT ALL FAT GIRLS HAVE CELULITE, AMOF, MOST DONT. And the snatch is wetter than the Indian Ocean, and super..uhm.."form fitting"

P.S.-As long as the time does 12/12 its good for me. I veg 24/7.
