I’ve been making my own e liquid for a few months now and have wondered if I may need a better scale.
I bought a Taylor kitchen scale, put an empty bottle on, rate it out, put in the base juice.
Problem becomes when I’m putting in the flavors, the weight doesn’t move at all when adding 1.2 grams or .9 grams, it just stays at whatever the weight of the base juice is, 27.5 for example.
I don’t know if the scale is not registering the smaller amounts or what but it’s odd.
Does anyone have a better scale they recommend, I have been looking and have seen Tru Weigh scales but haven’t seen anything more from anyone anywhere about it.
@Kev I don’t know what size batches you are mixing, but I’m 100% on board with @warkwarth on the LB-501. The pro’s are it’s got an AC adapter, so it won’t power down in the middle of a session, comes with (2) calibration weights, backlit display, has a 0.01g resolution, and tops out at 500g.
I’ve been sticking with 30ml batches right now till I feel more confident and can buy enough base to make 60 and up.
Thank you, I will check them out as well, just getting a bit frustrating knowing I’m putting in something but the scale isn’t registering it, it only reads out to the 10ths I think but still it should be picking it up.
I use 2 scales the Triton V3 for small quick batches or the LB501 aws…Both are great , if you have room for it the Lb501 is the best bc it comes with a cord and doesnt time out
