I've had mine for over 2 years and never had a problem. It has worked better than the YJ that I paid quite a bit more for.

Will shipping be $30?

The Nova micron gauge is still available .

Make an offer.

I had two duds in a row.
I really liked the screen and features and wanted it to work.
Maybe they made improvements but at the price it will never touch a (blankety blank)

Sure!
Screen would stick
Failed to reach atmosphere on regular basis (Cleaned regularly)
I think I had a dud!
I ran the two side by side, and the blu pulled down to 400 while the nova was still in the 1000 range.
What ticked me off the most was trusting the nova on the job for so long before buying the blu and the troubles involved (the leaks I thought I had)
I almost gave up on micron gauges after that. I figured that if $200+ couldn't buy a decent gauge..........
Buying the bluvac revived my faith and helped me revamp my set-up

All I'm gonna say about JB is:
If their just better, I wanna know what the hell is worse.

How come I have to use an ice pack on my knads every time we communicate?

Never knew they didn't publish specs. The rep said it was the same as DV22n with just more features.

I have been using the JB SuperNova for the past two years. I would recommend this vacuum gauge to everyone. I've had no trouble with this tool and have found it superior to every other micron/vacuum gauge I've owned over the years.

Why don't they publish the specs then?

I know next to nothing about the Nova first hand, only what I have been told.

The DV22N which was my first micron At a stage gauge works great.
At a trade show a sales rep showed me the Nova ans gave me some specs on it. I thought is sounded good
so I bought.

I just have too many micron gauges and would like to sell this one.

Done! Shipping and handling is 200 Bucks.

I own the JB supernova among many others micron gauges, I had compare it against Thermal, Tif and Yellow J and the JB supernova performed excellent, it responds slower than the rest to a loss of vacuum but I factor that into it.been using it for two years.
