This is the one I got.

It's smells like Ms. Gardeners science class, but works just fine.

This one. But I can't justify the cost right now. The other one I was considering is this unheated one. It's a lot cheaper, but I have a feeling that I would regret it when I buy the other one anyway. And with high VG mixes, I'm not sure if the stir bar can mix it cold well enough (or if it's that effective to continuously stir when cold).

I'm still very green in all of this, hence my reluctance to plunk down cash on something like this at the moment. Right now I use a Thermos filled with hot water and I shake that every 30 minutes or so.

EDIT: I literally feel like this guy right now!

I picked this one up about 6 months ago.

Works great. I would be curious to know if the "get what you pay for" reviews are from user error and not product quality. I routinely make 4l starters with this and I never have to go above half speed to get a good whirlpool. Its all about matching speed with the correct size stir bar. A larger bar in a larger volume at a slower speed seems to work better than a small bar at high speed.
