I've been using a cheap jewelers pocket scale the last 6 months for mixing, has been fine for small 10 ml mixes but I've found 30 & 50ml mixes just don't taste as well and the scales don't seem as accurate. This one:

Can anybody recommend some decent scales around £30/40 please? The American Weigh LB-501 scales seem to get really good reviews but UK prices are a bit high!! £25 in the states and £65 back here!

Thanks Chuck
 
Thanks everyone, just noticed the difference between the two scales! The 500 sounds just the ticket for he amounts I'll be mixing (max 100mls but mostly 10ml samples then 50ml to take away to work) :) 0.01g accuracy and I don't think there's an auto off timer on there? Within budget too :)

What about weights? I'm thinking about this pack:

There is an auto shut off but you can disable it,it's all in the instructions that come with them.Well worth the money,beware if you are close enough they will measure your breathe,how do i know this,mid mix my wife called out to me as usual i let out a 'leave me the fuck alone i am mid mix' sigh and wondered why the display was reading higher than before!
 
Lol! I'll keep that in mind but no danger of that, I have to mix when she's in work, she goes up the wall when I'm mixing and she's home, just can't get 5 mins peace so I don't bother now. Went a bit loopy last month when she saw all my concentrates lined up!

.......just don't get it do they!!
