NOTE: I didn't say "thermometers"
I did say THERMOSTATS
= significant difference
-
there pretty similar dont worry about it
all i have in this world is my balls and my word...and i dont break em for nobody
-
The only similarity is that they contain mercury. Only very few thermometers will contain mercury as thermostats have a shitload and are part of an heat-sensitive electric switch. Look out for thermostats and you'll have more then you'll ever need for far less cost.

u gottit
cranky ole boy!!!
oh yeah they are frequently discarded while still in a working condition. (mercury ampules intact) as opposed to the broken rectal thermometers---- shutter-----shutter.

placebo, you meant motion sensitive yeah bro? :)
note: placebo is'nt my brother, saying this for his benafit! Hehheheh
-
No, I mean heat-sensitive, as in air conditioning thermostatd, so that as the temeprature increases the mercury expands touching the two electrodes.
-
to utilize mercury in various formulations and to plan on obtaining it otc from thermo type devices might not be a good plan
reason--- check the various mercury compounds via Merck and you will notice a large percentage of the salts, etc are mercury. that means you gotta hava a butt load of it to fabricate the various compounds in any sort of quantity.
using thermo-whatevers is gonna take a while. so the idea that you will have more than you'll ever need will hinge on how much you need. nano-scale might be feasible but ifn you gonna get off- then maybe not.
