Is there a scale that can measure drops of my flavorings? About 20 drops... Mine does not register sometimes even up to 30 drops...
I want a good accurate scale for smaller measurements.

I've been looking at that scale but I just can't see spending that much tho. There has to be one out there for less money.I have an American Weigh Scales LB-501 digital scale. It has a resolution down to 0.01g (grams). Once calibrated it registers drops. The LB-501 will have no problem at all doing 20 or 30 drops.
Many DIY'ers have the same scale. I make many 5ml and/or 10ml test mixes. Sometimes, depending on the flavor, that calls for as little as 0.2%, or 0.02g, or 2-3 drops of a flavor. All depends on the weight of a single flavor.

Not sure which scale it is, but @FranC and @hittman have one that has a resolution down to 0.01g.I've been looking at that scale but I just can't see spending that much tho. There has to be one out there for less money.
I'm using a similar one, was under $15, with shipping.I’ve been using this for the last 5 or more years. It still has its original battery.
How many drops does it take to start registering?I'm using a similar one, was under $15, with shipping.
Just this, it seems to not react to the first few drops, but the fix is easy.
You just tap on the scale, or bottle, and this "wakes it up" and it then reacts to the next drop.
Seriously, more than accurate for me, and I would not pay over 15 or 17 bucks for one.
Now I'm looking at this one... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088DNQMB...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
After you tap it, and the display is lit (not just on),How many drops does it take to start registering?
I ordered this one to try... I only make 10 to 50ml bottles at a time...
Looks nice Rick. I only have 2 concerns, please correct me if I'm wrong:
1. That scale says it weighs up to 50g max. 50mls of liquid alone (not including the bottle) can weigh more than 55gms.
2. The circular concave indent on the bottom of the weighing surface could be smaller than the circumference of the base of some of your bottles, thus leading to an uneven surface and possible tip overs.
SF400D. Possibly cheaper on eBay.
