You gotta ask. :D I bought the first bluelabs combo kit in Dec 2018. The ppm pen started acting weird last June. When I was looking at troubleshooting docs for the PH pen they said the it's good for about 18 months of daily use then it should be replaced.
DAMN!! That's harsh I've had mine 6 years now and to echo Wastei I use the KCl storage solution and when I don't have it right at hand I make sure I've rinsed the probe and the felt pad is moistened.

Sounds like you've had really bad luck with the pH pens. Do you use storage solution(KCl)?

I probably don't take care of it very well. I usually add a squirt of the solution onto the pad once a month when I do a calibration and I always make sure the cap is on. It wasn't used from June 2020 until a couple weeks ago, I did give it a soak in kci solution for 24 hours and calibrated before using it again.

If the bulb dries out you lose the meter. If you get an Oakton you can replace the bulbs. But they are almost as expensive as the entire Bluelab meter.

You haven't broken enough yet to become meticulous about it. Lol! I don't know how many pH pens I've gone through the years. Cheers!

About time you got your ass back here. I've slaving over keeping your thread alive. Now get back to work!

PS How are you, mama and the boys? I assume Chunker shot up and is now tall.
We are all doing good. Covid slowed the tattoo game down alot. Honestly made me stop and think some. I love tattooing and ill continue to do it, but me and Momma are finally making the move to Fuck Farms for good. Im going to focus on the farm and work for myself again full time. I finally got the shop all done and the house. Ive been working as a mechanic on farm equipment for my families ranch as well as others in the area. So I'll continue that when I move. The plan is to get settled and start my own tattoo shop eventually. I still tattoo my clients that I'm doing full back pieces on or sleeves etc etc. The boys are both getting big. Little Inda is a know it all, tall,skinny,and handsome. Hes very very smart and has a heart of gold. Which kinda makes me think he's the mail man's child, but a keeper for sure. Your youngest grandson AKA Chunker AKA KIKI, has absolutely zero fucks to give. He is built like a tank and is as strong as an Ox. Still haven't ever cut his hair, so he's got long locks with those blue eyes. He doesn't cry when he gets hurt, he just proceeds to beat the shit out of whatever inanimate object hurt him. He has decided pooping in the toilet is for idiots. Yet he also refuses to wear diapers. So he wears regular underwear until he has to poop, then he throws on a pull up and disappears for 10 minutes to poop. Loves to pee off the porch and doesn't mind peeing in the toilet......or the bathtub for that matter. Ive actually had to stop cursing completely because Kiki has picked up quite the vocabulary hanging in the garage with dad and his uncles. Im hoping by kindergarten he remembers less cuss words than me. He hasn't beat his older brothers ass and called him a Ma Kucka in a few weeks, so we're making progress. Definitely my kid for sure lol. Ive got lots of pictures of them to send you. I lost access to my old email so I gotta get you my new one. I was banned from social media and youtube for supposedly stocking a tiktok martial artist. Then supposedly I found his sons youtube and shared what a turd his dad was.......allegedly. I obviously have been wronged and do not remember any of these accusations. Its just Ludacris behavior towards me.

No ban is ironclad, always ways of getting around them and backdooring. Yep, double entendre intended :)
