    Capping questions

    I want to start capping my own amino acids and electrolytes. Save me some money I was on 1fast400 and I saw their cappings machines.

    Cap Em Quick (for 0)
    and
    Cap Em Quick (for 00)

    What do the zeros mean? Also, I want some empty caps. I'll be capping 5g of taurine at most and 500mg of potassium at most. Whats a good cap size?

    0=400-500mg
    00=800-1000mg
    000=1000-2000mg

    Also depends an awful lot on the amount of compression you are able to get. I dont know what kind of tamper the Cap-m-Quick comes with, but compression will have a huge effect on end capsule weight.

    If you can measure, mix, fill the machine with caps, fill the caps, then cap them all in 10 minutes then U Da Man!
