How many people out there that use DOx's or dragonflys or other drugs active in the mcg or low milligram range have mcg scales? Is it necesary or do people titrate with water from milligram doses?

Measuring powder in this range is a total pain in the ass. To get an accurate dose you would put about 10mg (measured with a microgram scale) in an Eppendorf 1.5ml tube and then dilute to 100µL or 1000µL with a micropipette. Then measure with a micropipette.

If you're trying to dilute a DOx and have a scale only accurate to 0.001mg or 0.002mg, the smallest amount you should be weighing and diluting should be about 50mg.
 
Damn it, my scale's broken. It drifts upward a few hundred milligrams even if there's no weight on it until the calibration is way off. Anybody know if a repair is at all possible?

It's a gempro 150 and overall I was pretty happy with it for the 2.5 years that I've had it. It's kinda cheaply made but it gave accurate measurements that I was pretty confident in until recently. :-/
 
my scale came today. I got the one from dealextreme. seems to work okay so far, it sometimes off by 1mg and is easily solved by calibrating and re-weighing.

on another note I have a piece of green paper than I used to eyeball my 2ce which is exactly 120mg. gonna be a perfect platform to weigh stuff on haha
 
Recently fully engaged in the world of RC's. It's a bitch going to my buddies to use his Gempro-250 so I gotta get a milligram scale. I've read the archived and new Big & Dandy Scale Threads twice now and still can't figure out what I need.

What is the most economic scale that can be used reliably to measure in the 5-10 mg dose rage? I'm willing to weigh doses out numerous times and calculate the average, but I need something reliably accurate.

I'll be weighing out:

2C-E - 4-HO-MiPT - 4-AcO-DMT

and probably
4-HO-DiPT - 5-MeO-MiPT - 5-MeO-DMT

and who knows what else I might get my hands on?

I am thinking about possibly getting the Acculab Vic-123 but I don't think I want to have it plugged in all the time.

Also thinking about the GemPro-250.

5-MeO-DMT must be weighed in individual doses as the liquid measurement obviously wont work for a smoked substance so I was wondering if a Jennings JSVG (accurate to .002 mg) could be used with the following method from Skrilla to measure out a 5-9 mg dose of 5-MeO-DMT or for increments of 2C-E:

"Weigh out 6mg or whatever, then add (in a separate little pile) until it reads 8mg - then cut your 2nd little pile in half - and you've got 7mg!"

I don't mind spending upwards of $250 for a scale, but after taxes, calibraton weights and shipping it's going to be pretty expensive.
The Jennings JSVG would suffice if Skrilla's method can be trusted.

Maybe I can use my buddies Gempro-250 for 5-MeO-DMT, and then use the Jennings JSVG for the other chemicals, but i want my own scale for 2C-E doses. Would the Jennings JSVG be good for weighing 2C-E with the above method?

What is the most economic scale that can be used reliably to measure in the 5-10 mg dose rage?

Thanks for the help!
 
^^ Which mg scales are accurate enough specifically for 5-MeO-DMT?

I've looked at the scale threads which had a lot of conflicting reports, and I was hoping to get feedback directly from people using 5-MeO-DMT, as that is the most dose sensitive chemical I will be weighing.

I've been doing a lot of research trying to figure out how much I need to spend on a scale for weighing 5-10 mg doses and I noticed that My Weigh has a 30 year to lifetime warranty. Contact them and they'll fix it.

i use a cheapo mg scale from ebay.

What i do is put something on the scale so it will register a weight. (ie. i use a a little tray that weighs exactly 1.704) then drop the chem you are weighing on top of that (so if you want 10mg, you will put enough 5meo-DMT to read 1.714 on my scale and tray)


It may not be the most accurate, but its the best i can do.:\

How much are you willing to spend? I good scale should be an investment btw...
 
My Weigh Gempro-250 - $167
http://www.saveonscales.com/product_mw_gempro_series.html

This is the cheapest single milligram scale I was considering. 30 year warranty, I'm leaning towards this one. It seems like a good choice, but is it reliably accurate?


VMC VB-302A - $235
http://www.1800scales.com/VMC-VB-302A-Balances.html

I haven't heard much about the VMC VB-302A, but it's on sale from $300 to $235 and is the same price as the Acculab. From what I've heard VMC is up there with Acculab.


Acculab Vic-123 - $235
http://balance.balances.com/scales/906/

From what I read this one seems to be more accurate than the Gempro-250, but I don't want to have it plugged in all the time. Will that be a problem?

Jennings JScale JSVG - $79
http://www.saveonscales.com/product_js_vg_series.html

This one only goes up in 2 milligram increments but is much cheaper.

I could shell out 200-300 after shipping, but 100 would be more ideal. Does anyone know of a good scale in between these 2 extremes? Maybe the Gempro-250 would be a good choice as it is in between the prices. But I'm wondering, if I'm going to spend just under $200 with shipping for the Gempro is it that much more worth it to pay just under $300 with shipping for either the Acculab or the VMC?

If so, I'm wondering if the VMC would be more ideal considering I don't wanna have the Acculab plugged in all the time?

Thanks a lot everyone
 
I forgot the idea of buying. 200 dollar scale and bought the one from dealextreme. so far, so good.
 
Right a few people have recomended the AWS DIA-10 saying it is both cheap and reasonably reliable, anyone here who regrets buying this scale?
I'll be using the scale to weigh out doses of 5-MeO-DMT and 2C-E, will this be ok?
Next question is where can I buy this scale online (preferably in the uk).
Cant seem to find it on ebay, amazon or any of the links on this thread 8)
Replies greatly appreciated :)
 
I've read the old and new scale threads and it seems like posters in the old thread didn't think much of American Weigh Scales. If you are willing to calibrate your scale every time you use it, it should work, but 5-MeO-DMT and 2C-E are both very dose sensitive so you'll have to be patient with dosing. I ordered a My Weigh GemPro-250 for just over $200 canadian, just waiting for it now (holidays was a bad time to order). My buddy has a GemPro-250 and it works really well from my experience.
 
My GemPro-250 hasn't arrived yet so I used my buddy's again yesterday to weigh out a couple 10 mg sample doses of 4-HO-MiPT that my gal and I tested out. I weighed each dose 3 times and it read 10 mg each time. You wont be disappointed!

can anyone tell me if this scale is worth it?

DigiWeigh DW-10PP

Please.. anyone? I would consider this and it looks legit but I am not experienced in this type of hardware so I was hoping for a second opinion but want to order within the next few days...
 
i have no personal experince with that scale but im guessing its not much different than other cheapo chinese made scales.

It should work fine for weighing things like 2c's but dont go trying to weigh DOx's or other substances that require a dose of less than 10mg. For that weigh out a larger amount and make a solution.
