Title should say « Inkbird probe suction cup » sorry !

I’ve tried gluing it, I’ve replaced it with a new one but it will stick to the glass for a few months and then get loose. I always scrape the glass before sticking it too.

There has to be something to make this stick to the glass. Any tips?

Thanks !

Same issue here with a couple of different InkBirds -- suction cups work great for a while but then become less effective.

Not the best answer but I switched to these cheapies and just toss 'em and use a new one when they start to get iffy -- top part of the InkBird probe snaps in,,, not perfect but OK:

Clear suction cups seem to work much better for me. I use these off Amazon

Thanks to you both ! I ordered the clear ones for now but I’ll try the black ones if they don’t work. They’ll be here tomorrow. :)

I zip tie them to some magnetic Single frag holder. I got them from printed3dparts. Now they have these cool silicone ones:
