I just want to keep on mixing with my 0.001g scale!

If you’re going for el cheapo scales like that, check out amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=500g+0.01g+scale&qid=1574283246&ref=sr_pg_1
I’d definitely go for a 500g x 0.01g and while you’re at it, grab one of these too
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=0.001g+scale&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
Please copy/paste the url, ELR doesn’t parse them correctly, or simply search for 500g 0.01g scales and 0.001g scales
You may find similar on ebay if you prefer that platform.
500g x 0.01g and 100g x 0.001g
You should find both in the same price class.

But please remember, you can get a dud with unstable performance. Check it out as soon as you get it and get a replacement or refund if it doesn’t perform the way it should.

The type pictured in your ebay link was my first 500gx0.01g scale and it was very unstable. I’ve seen plenty other people that use them and are happy though.

The 0.1g scales are not really useful for our DIY mixing (unless you’re mixing liters of the same liquid at once).

Your links just took me to a top level page. No scales shown.

I see, don’t know how to fix it :man_shrugging:
Copy/paste in a new tab should work. ELR just put a different link than what it displays

I was looking for the 0.01 scale, at least i’m on the right track.
I’ll have a better search for a decent, code not 50p, set that’ll do the job without giving dodgy readings.
Thanks again.

Yeah I saw the tag, spooky
you messed up the 2nd link though, 500g x 0.001g will be expensive scales lol

Interesting how ELR is parsing these out.

Depending on how many bottles of flavors you have those press in adapters are cheap

Thanks for this post @anon28032772 my 501 was takin a chit when this came up. Previously I had lightly considered the .001 because of the amount of SC’s I now use so the timing was good for me.
Now that I have one I cant sing the praises high enough. It was very enlightening for me to see just how far off my mixes were previously inspite of a pretty rigid grading system that I strive to achieve. A+ being within .01 without going over. .01 over would drop it to an A while multiple overs would keep dropping. Even within that system I can now see how inaccurate an A+ mix actually was ( I now have better control of this) which explains the batch to batch variance I would sometimes get!

I dont think you have to spend that much for one. You could buy several less costly ones and be ahead of the game!

It’s like so many other things in life. Until the day you try it, you just don’t know what you’re missing :smiley:

I think it was Simon that taught me that little trick about adding up and not taring the scale and I’ve learned to do that when I’m mixing say something that calls for .06 … works like a charm.
