Regular Sudoku
Slow-Thermo
(O) Bulbs ≤ Tips ( I )
Digits mustn't decrease along thermometers from bulb to tip.
...Digits may therefore repeat along thermometers.
Flows may merge, diverge or loop, but must always end at a given tip.
In all circumstances, flow must be determined.
Colours are merely aesthetic and not part of the puzzle.
Off-grid lines are barely aesthetic and not part of the puzzle.

Solution code: Row 1 from left to right

Oh, it's so cute that you drew my portrait in the grid!
Also, a nice introduction to slow thermos!

"Flows may merge, diverge or loop, but must always end at a given tip."
This confused me to no end. Still not really sure what it means, but once I decided to just ignore it and solve it like a normal slow thermo it went very smoothly.

The thermos look a little off to me on the image, but once I put in the sudokupad app it looked ok (except for the odd bulbs) and solved smoothly enough.
