Default Elos Mg KH not impressed

i just bought elos KH and Mg ive read the common instruction problems anyways

#1 $37 and change for the Mg kit which i broke the test vial first test spilling the test reagants everywhere while just inserting the rubber plug not happy

#2 my KH test was 20 drops so 10 DKH while my old hagen test kit is reading 130 ppm..................

130ppm is 7.28 DKH
10 DKH is 179 ppm


i have heard the old cheep test kits give inaccurate results but did both tests with each kit twice getting the same results within each kit

im having a hard time believing the hagen kit is out by almost 50 ppm when the elos kit has contradictory instructions and the weakest test vial ever the hagen vials im dropped onto linolium floor and hasnt cracked yet a rubber plug breaks the elos vial

im sure feeling like i wasted $60 bux on 2 junk test kits..............

Default cost per test

curious to know how many tests one can get out of each $40 test kit. 3 or 4?
