Cheap Digital thermostat
Basically my temperature fluctuates too often and too much for my liking, any digital stats out there, where i can precisely regulate the temp?

I tend to find that the cheaper ones do fluctuate a bit. In my incubator I now use a habistat dimmer thermostat with a couple of bulbs and find the temperature very stable. Although this is not a cheap option.

I think the key word in your post was CHEAP.
You buy cheap you get cheap. I think the habistats are great value for money and very precise. The main thing is what are you using bulbs or mats? The correct stat for the correct equipment will drastically improve the stability in the temps!

any on\off stat will fluctuate as they turn off when they reach the max temp then it will go a little cooler then kick back on again. If you want a stable temp then it will have to be a pulsestat on a mat.
