P.S. I realize that these Chinese printer kits are cheap knock-offs and a more expensive brand name one would do a better job, but I was hoping that this kit would give me some experience with 3D printing before I shell out big bucks for a better unit. So far PLA printing is going pretty well, and if I can get the ABS printing to work I'll be a happy camper.

Have you tried putting insulation under the print bed? I have a PCB heater on both of my printers (the aluminium version) and I made a sandwich - PCB on top, 2 layers of thin cork sheet, then another metal plate on the bottom. This, plus a bit of corrugated card on top while heating up, allows it to get up to 100C in a reasonable amount of time. A cold room, or draughts, may prevent it reaching the target temp though. The chances of getting to 110C or 120C are very slim - I'd have to change the heatbed to something more powerful to get to those temps - though 100C is OK for ABS, in my experience.

ABS print on Buildtak at 65c
I have pictures of my cardboard box enclosure around somewhere.
I found keeping the room temperature constant and the printer enclosed is very important to getting ABS to stick to the bed
