That $150 paint mixing system I bought really let me down

I dropped $150 on a digital paint mixing scale last month and it was super inaccurate on small batches. Has anyone else had trouble with those budget mixing systems?

Totally had the same issue with mine, it was way off on small batches too.

The 0.1 gram accuracy on mine was a joke. I had to weigh out 5 grams of pigment and it kept jumping between 4.2 and 5.8 without settling. @wyatt_ross27 is right, these things just dont handle small batches at all. Its frustrating because you think you're getting a deal but you end up wasting more time and materials than you save. I finally just went back to using my old triple beam scale for anything under 50 grams and it works way better.
