Heat Pack? Where to buy?

[taichimaster]

Anybody know where I can pick up a heat pack for shipping?

It's not the same thing as the hand warmers at lowe's are they?

yeah...hand warmers work just fine. Sporting good stores usually carry them.

Hand warmers are usually rated for 4-12 hours and are not good for shipping as they get very hot quickly and then taper off providing no heat when you really need it, 12 hours into shipment. You want heatpacks that are rated for 24-40 hours, they do not have as high of a heat spike and keep a more consitant temperature. I use 40hour heat packs which I buy online, I am not sure where to get them locally.

Peter.... BRA has 40hr heat packs for sale. I believe they are like 2 bucks each.

Here is a couple places to get aquatic shipping supplies for fairly cheap.

The 40hr heat packs are the best. We had a few failures with the 20 hour units before we switched. We have em if anyone needs some in a pinch. $1.99. Otherwise, you can order bulk cheaper from places like Uline or Superior.

Regular hand warmers have been know to get too hot for shipping corals.
Barrier has the good ones.
