Which Co2 Drop Checker

[Rob5]

I have been looking at getting a CO2 drop checker, the problem is which one?

Is it easier to buy a kit or buy all the necessary items separately?

Any recommendations will be grateful

i would defiantly go separate, and i would highly recommend a glass drop checker too, i have a plastic one and it has leaved on the odd occasion, i would also recomend buying one from AE more expensive than Ebay but at least you will get yours i bought 3 with a bubble counter and i am still w8ing on them been 2 months now and the seller has send me another batch which again still not got here,

you will also need this

i got the latter one as its already pre mixed you can do it your self if you wish but i didn't want to.

thats the only two things you need altho i would recommend getting a pipet as it makes it a little easier to get the right amount of fluid into the drop checker

just to note the plastic one i got was this

it dose work but every now and then it will leak

oh and i forgot that 250ml solution dosnt seem allot but you generaly use about 3ml every 1 week to 3 weeks so it will last you years
