Title: Decent digital scales........?
Post by: android465764E on February 11, 2013, 09:11 pm
Can anyone recommended a decent set of digital scales?

I got a small one off eBay which is ok, but if I put on anything that weighs less than 1g, it doesn't register.

I like to measure out my mdma into gel caps, but atm it's kinda all guess work. lol

Any suggestions ie. brands, online shops etc...?

I got one off of Amazon just a few days ago. It was an 'American Weigh Signature Series Digital Pocket Scale' and was just $10 after shipping. It weighs increments of .01 g and i tested it right out of the box with a nickle (which should weigh 5g) and it came up to 4.99 g. Considering the price and accuracy I can't help but recommend it.

If you live near a big flea market there might be a head shop or two at the flea - no shit - I've seen it with my own eyes!  I suppose alot depends on which state but I counted 1/2 dozen head shops at a flea market in a state where pot & paraphernalia are illegal.  Go figure.  They had some nice Blade brand scales for less than $20 as I recall... good luck with your search!

Weight of nickels from above:  I actually looked this up a few years ago ... weight of all U.S. coins varies due to dirt, debris, damage and plain ol' wear & tear.  Old nickels with lots of silver obviously weigh more than today's nickels, silver nickels stopped sometime in the 1940's, I'm too lazy to look it up. 

Today, a clean nickel in good shape should weigh between 4.9 grams and 5.1 grams so there may not be anything wrong with the scale  ::)

I'm I'm the UK, probably should've mentioned that...

I use an old set of brass scales for hash/weed, with pennies for weights.

By my cheap eBay scales are CRUD.
And I need something better for my powders/crystals.


Thanks for the suggests so far folks. All good info.

No digital is as good as a triple beam. Bottom line, mechanical beats the shit out of digital in this case. Hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
