    BluVac Pro. Don’t be tempted to go cheap. Going cheap is so expensive these days.
    "Right" is not the same as "Wise".

    Don't step on my favorite part of the Constitution just to point out your favorite part.

    Just because you can measure it, doesn't mean it is important. Just because you can't measure it, doesn't mean it isn't important.

    Once you use a BluVac, you'll start wondering if any other gauge you use is accurate, they're that good.

    The Micro BluVac would be the exception to the rule.

    I’ve used supco and CPS micron gauges. I hated them both after I got my BluVac
    LTE. Amazing gauges!

    I bought the BlueVac Pro before bluetooth, so I'm not going to drop another $300 on a bluetooth version (although I love what I see with the app, decay test, etc). I may buy the micro as a secondary (use both at the same time, micro on the LL).

    But the thing I'd miss with the micro is the Leak Rate indicator.

    Those aren't the BT versions, are they?

    I've never used 2 at once. Do the readings eventually match, or is there always a difference in micron? I like the idea of one on Liq, one on suction (I generally put mine on the suction). With both ports taken, what do you do when you want to do an N2 sweep?
