|
74.6% |
double check"for me it’s a morning after double check and emphatically not a tool to take it to the limit before getting in the car"
|
74.5% |
more dangerous"years ago i tried a cheap no brand unit based on semiconductor technology that told me i was under the limit despite clearly being in a state where i wouldn’t trust myself with anything more dangerous than a butter knife… anyway this unit offers a decent sized fuel cell sensor the ability to vary the limit for different jurisdictions and an annual at a reasonable cost calibration service"

damage the device"you cannot however breath in to the device during your night of drinking or certainly soon after finishing a drinking session as you could damage the device or it could give a false read so it is no good for knowing if you are under directly after you have had a couple of drinks etc all of this to be fair is explained and the logic behind it regarding the way the human body deals with processing alcohol so that is not a limitation to the device but more a limitation about our bodies"

damage sensor"appears to be a quality product instructions suggest that you do not use for at least 90mins after drinking in order to get an accurate reading and that if you take a reading too soon you may damage sensor surely the whole point is to be able to take a reading shortly after having a few drinks otherwise"
