Title: I don't have any scales to weigh my order
Post by: Floydy on February 15, 2013, 08:34 am
I've just received a weed order from a vendor I've not used before, and I'm a little disappointed by the amount I received.

Here's a pic of what arrived, it was supposed to be 5g, but I can't check as I don't have any scales.

It's dry as f*** and compressed to buggery.....

Does it look like it's 5g?

do yourself a favor and walk to your nearest headshop or even gas station and get a scale, man....

I'm not sure where you're from. If you live in the US, There's a pretty cheap 100 grams in 0.01 gram increment's scale on Amazon right now for $8, it's not the best, but definitely something handy to have around to check for order's weight, and proper dosage.

I'm a brit and the only headshop within 30-odd miles of where I live closed several years ago.

I've certainly never seen scales for sale in a gas / petrol station  :)

For the future I am thinking of buying scales from any of the many online vendors...  But my short term issue is I need to finalise for this vendor.  If he's shorting me on the weight, I'd like to call him out on this before I do finalise.

Or should that be finalize ?  ;)

There must be a market/carboot sales next to where you live? There's always a stall that sells all tobacco accessories and scales too
Or try find a body supplements , protein shakes etc.. they should have scales there.
That doesn't look like it's 5 grams but pictures can be deceiving..
I would personally finalize and update later after you've weighed and let the vendor know, as even if it was shorted what would you ask for a refund and let it ruin your stats ? or just deal with it .

It looks good to me my friend, dont be dissapointed in what you got! I suppose its so dense looking cause its compressed? Thats sad, not sure it matters too much if you have a grinder. But even still, just take some time to break it up with ur fingers, it looks good to me!

Thanks everyone, seems I got my 5g  :)

At the moment, it just crumbles, with another week curing in the glass stash jar it'll probably fluff up nicely.

 Hey
 you could always make 'Heath Robinson' crude balance scale with a steel ruler or similar and use a 20 pence piece to balance against, as they are 5g's.
 Not accurate but will give you an idea, my guess would be that its OK.

Yeah man, that looks a decent 5g to me.

Little tip: If you have any oranges, eat one, and then put the peel in your jar with the weed. I find it helps it to fluff up faster, and it adds a bit of moisture to dry weed.

P.S. What vendor was it? Oh, and if you've got time, stick your experiences up in the UK Cannabis Buyers thread, the more info the better!  :D

be wary of mold that may form from the peel

Just order some scales from ebay, they're about a fiver for basic digis. That's all you need if you're a casual weed smoker.
