@Englishguy well, both are the same. I mix at most 60ml at one time.

this is what I got. It was on sale for roughly the same price.

No, they won’t ship it until Monday. I will have it by march 3rd. Will the machine do 120 ml with the bottle and all? I couldn’t get the 300g or the 500g. Just way to expensive. I paid 64. It was roughly the best I could find other than the one everyone recommends.

@Englishguy, that’s what everyone recommends but I couldn’t find another to replace it. The unit you’re looking at does 500g/.01g.

bit overkill/pricey if ya ask me what happened to aws 501lb recommendations? read reviews and that scale seems like a pita to use regularly.

@worm1, it’s what I could find and it was only 64. I just want to know if it will meet my needs if I did a 120ml bottle?

@worm1, that was the one I originally ordered. It’s not available until March 27.

It’s why I canceled and ordered the one I showed you. I paid 64 for it. I was wondering if it will do the job?

@worm1 how high does the weight get to when you do a bottle?

I’ve already waited 3 weeks for the one you showed me. I don’t want to wait another 3 weeks.

I just weighed a 60ml 70V/30P bottle. It’s 88g so a 120 will get closer to the limits but should still work. I did measure it with the cap on, added weight that you don’t have when mixing.

PG is close to water’s specific gravity but VG is heavier. The higher your VG ratio in your mix, the heavier the bottle will be. You also have to count the weight of the bottle itself on the scale.

By the way, that looks like a very nice scale. You can always get cheaper ones but if you’re happy with the cost, I’m sure you’ll enjoy working on that scale.

@anon28032772, TYTYTYTY!!! man, I didn’t want to shell out the money for the 300 or 500g one. The one I got was on sale is the only reason I got it. It’s not on sale anymore. The higher weight ones weren’t on sale or I would have gotten one. the lid has to weigh 20-30g?? they aren’t light in grams I think. I’m not sure.

the recommended one is 43. This one was $20 more. So long as it works that’s good. I usually start at 40ml of 30/70. I mess up a lot though with the syringes.

@Caped_Conspirathist it’s your call. The 501 is in stock as linked above. If you’re set on the one you listed, @ 200g you should be able to just squeeze a 120ml on that.

It doesn’t… just weigh an empty bottle and you have your weights.
If you look at the recipe, it’ll say something like 60ml / 74g / 100% at the bottom, so your liquid weighs more than water. Your bottle also has it’s weight (PET/glass/…?) that you have to account for on your scale.

@SessionDrummer, TY!!! I’ve already ordered and paid for the unit. It would take a little time to cancel now. As long as I can get a 120ml bottle on it with 80ml of juice I’m happy.
The money’s been spent… lol. now someone has to tell me how to use it lmao. I don’t know how to make my own juices yet.

@anon28032772 I just use the cheapo plastic bottles. I’ll look at some recipes and see what the weights are. TY!!!

It shouldn’t be too much, a bottle without any caps, maybe 10g or thereabout
Just weighed one, 9.956g, 60ml PET
