Yeah, if you aren't using an actual stirbar, don't expect much. Also, one important tid-bit I learned: The stir bar cannot be longer than your magnets. For example, a 1" micro stir bar will tear ass on my plate, but even a 1.25" will wobble around and eventually get thrown. Food for thought.
Regarding the magnets, I stacked them. Be careful, though..the attraction between the magnets pulled the one out of my hand from about a foot away. The plus is that they lined up perfectly. I'd take a pic, but it would involve disassembling and reassembling my plate...I like you guys, but not that much...
For me, my problem was a lack of magnetic power coupled with a lack of electronic power. Once I doubled up on both magnets and volts, I was set.
