I wouldn't go for this to be honest. It can handle a decent amount of weight, but it is only accurate to .1g. My preference is always getting a scale that is accurate to .01g. Your best bet is to look for a scale that is 500 x .01g. They are solid and reliable. Just make sure that you can calibrate the scale and get the calibration weight that you need. I hope this answer helps you with your search.

I use this one from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UGBG20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It comes with an AC adapter and calibration weights included. I also use the bowl that comes with it for spill containment...

It's not accurate to .1 gram it's accurate to 1/10 GRAIN.....
The Hornady would work fine, I used my RCBS scale for over a year and it was great. I had to move up to the American everyone is linking to because I started to mix bigger batches and the RCBS 750 could not handle the weight of the 100ml bottles I was mixing. For me the RCBS I was using was a better scale by far it just did not do the weight I needed. The Hornady you linked to would do the 100ml but you would be at the top end of the scale FYI.

Well, apparently I can't read. Yeah, pretty much everything Carmmond said above me. Also, if you are going to be using a eliquid calculator, see if it has a gr conversion, otherwise you will be jumping between gr and g the whole time.

The scale should do that... at least my RCBS did, I didn't look at the manual for the Hornady. I think if it's made to weigh powder that blows up it should be a better scale
