I got this one from dealextreme (21 dollars) a while ago after a few people recommended it to me: http://dx.com/p/digital-precision-scale-20g-max-0-001g-resolution-10515. It's more like 0.002 or 0.003 g accurate but works like a charm otherwise. It has a handy little tray that you can pick up, comes with a calibration weight and is easy to calibrate. Takes some shipping time though.

When it comes to scales I'd would just go get a small digital one at smoke shop, cash, no trace, then I keep it in the kitchen for weighing ingredients for cooking.

I frowned when I read your post as it is extremely off-topic for this thread. However, this is a brilliant read.

And as to not derail this thread:

I bought some of those shit digital scales you see all over eBay, 0.01g to 100g. They're accurate to just over 50mg and I would not recommend them.

I bought a cheap shitty American Weigh scale on ebay. It was DOA on chinese plastic.

I'm going to try the My Weigh Palm Scale 300, and hope for better results

I've been looking around alot and found some really nice scales.

Acculab VIC-123

Gempro 250

JScale JS-VG 20

I know these scales are a bit pricey in the US but the prices in EU are ridiculous.   

I can find the Gempro 250 in the US for 129$, but in EU it's at least 350$.

I really fallen i love with the Gempro, any1 know a webshop within EU with this product or similar ?

Hello all.  The problem with all the scales mentioned here, except one, is that they utilize strain gauge technology.  What's wrong with strain gauge technology?  Nothing, as long as you are loading your weight quickly and not gradually.  However, they can lack accuracy and more often have problems with precision and sensitivity.  Precision is how consistently the scale reads the same result for the same weight.  For example, I was weighing "something" today and on my strain gauge scale I got 3 different readings, 0.4g, 0.5g, and 0.6g.  Not very precise eh?  So what do you do if your going to take a dose of something powerful, what is the correct weight???  Also strain gauge scales are better at measuring large (grams and up) amounts of weight and due poorly measuring lesser amounts (e.g. milligrams).

At this time, I would like to congratulate the member who named Mettler-Toledo balances.  These high quality advance balances solve many of the shortcomings of strain gauge technology by employing magnetic force restoration technology.  Other quality brands utilizing magnetic force restoration technology include: some Sartorius balances (the ones using magnetic force restoration), Mettler-Toledo, Ohaus, Cahn, Denver instruments, A & D, or Shimadzu.  Here's the problem though.  Almost all of these balances cost a thousand dollars of more.  Your best bet, which has worked for me, is to find a used one, albeit a used one that works and functions properly.  There are a few sites on the web you can check into and ebay frequently has quite a few, just be careful of scammers and check the condition of the scale thoroughly after unpacking it from being shipped to make sure it works.  For much more information and guidance on balances see Stimulant's post at www.drug-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93149.  Have a good one, and get that shit weighed right.

Whatever you do, don't buy them at a headshop. 

Unless you want to give a 300% markup to local business.

Just get them on Amazon.
