I bought my very first erlenmeyer flask this week from Fleabay, yes I can hear the laughter already, but I don't have many places to buy something like this where I am so I went ahead and took the risk.
What I got was a 2L one, and while I thought the glass thickness would be thin for the price, the real problem is that the base is very uneven, and when you sit it on a flat level surface it rocks noticeably.
I've got a digital stir plate coming and wanted to use this flask on it. Having never used a stir plate I'm worried the flask will have enough movement to fall off.
Is this a problem, or will it be stable enough?
Advice and humorous comments welcome.
