Is it safer to use the 3inch 6watt then to use the 10watt one???Or are they both the same just different watts. I saw someone selling the 6 watt one cause the 10 watt is to dangerous.

All heat tape and heat rope should be on some sort of thermostat. If they are I don't believe either is more dangerous. The 10wt just uses more electricity.

From my experience with flexwatt, failures are due to poor installations, shortcuts, etc. I take the extra steps to do it right and so far I have not had any failures. Nothing to do with the wattage. 3 and 4 inch flexwatt is fairly low wattage, 6-10 watts. Properly install and insulate the connectors and end of the flexwatt, avoid boxes making direct contact, use a good controller and you shouldn't have any problems.
If you need more details, feel free to email me and I'll send you some pics and instructions.

10 watt flexwatt is perfectly safe and can actually do more than the 6 watt depending on the application especially in a back heat setup... And the gentleman you read that from is kind of, off the wall so to speak
