I've used that one for 3 or 4 years now. It's still as easy and accurate as it was on day one. I really like that the bowl comes with it. I don't spill often, but the bowl catches drips and you can just wipe the outside of the bottle and the bowl and continue on without affecting the pour.

Does it stop weighing accurately if you stop for a couple minutes and go back to it?

I have a very nice scale for baking which would do eliquid easily but if I'm not quick and consistent in adding ingredients the scale times out or something and doesn't weigh accurately after a pause..

Since I'm not the most organised of bakers, I'm finding weighing out multiple flavors into the same bottle quite problematic.. (and honestly, I don't do easy recipes... I've yet to find an easy one I actually like. )

So I'm curious about how this scale does with complex recipes and pausing.

If you use the batteries then yes it will time out. If you plug it into a power source it won't. I plug mine into my battery charger since it stays plugged in but you can just use a wall wart.

Thanks though, that was very helpful.

I use it on AC all the time and have never had it time out. I don't even put batteries in it.

I tend to complete a pour once I start, but I haven't noticed any variance in accuracy. I routinely do four 100ml bottles of unflavored at a time and when I line them up for inspection all the levels are exactly aligned in my experience. I usually follow through once I start a pour, but my DIY bottles usually contain PG, VG, Nic, and one or two flavors. I like simple. :)

While we’re talking about scales, I just tried a test from about 3 weeks ago.

Cap cinnamon danish 8%
Rda French vanilla cream 1%
Cap SS 1%

It’s so good I can’t even. I have seven other tests to try but I can’t stop with this one. Gotta get my housework done and mix up a few gallons of this!
