A good mg scale?

[.:Holy::Toast:.]

I was looking to make a decent order of research chemicals soon and my general way of storing them was in water with a splash of vodka to prevent bacterial growth and whatnot.
I'd only ever stored 2c chemicals this way but in my next order I was hoping to pick up some 4-aco-dmt fumurate as well but I heard if stored for any length of time in water it degrades so I was looking for a decent mg scale that will give me accuracy in the 10mg range.
I found this on amazon but it seems a little cheap, but the reviews seem decent, and since I don't necessarily need complete accuracy in the mg range I was wondering how well this would work?

If I were to be say measuring doses of 15mg would simply a mg scale suffice?

A mg scale would be fine for weighing 15mgs. I can't speak for the scale you have listed but if it is accurate then it will be fine for that

Is there a different solvent you could store the 4-AcO-DMT in? I don't know if there is or not, and those scales look fine as long as they are accurate, but something like PEG is good for liquid dosing of water-insoluble compounds (eg benzos).

There used to be a scales megathread - not sure if there still is or not but I'll take a look for you

Ive been using that scale and it's fucking amazing.

If you are trying to weigh <15mg and you need pinpoitn accuracy this might not be the scale for you. I mean if you can afford to be off by plus or minus 3mg you are ok.

I use the scale literally every day.. it's great for weighing out doses for IV coke.. like 50mg, 100mg.. Lets say you need to weigh exactly 17mg, and if you end up with 14mg it will make a huge difference, then you need to invest some serious money on a professional lab grade scale.

Honestly.. even though it goes in 1mg increments, I don't trust it for anything more accurate than plus or minus 5mg. Meaning when i weigh 50mg, I know it might be as low as 45 or as high as 55. I still consider the scale very accurate.. but I use it on 50mg+ stuff.. If you ahve to weigh out like 250mg or something, this scale is primo.

I use this thing 10 times a day plus and its a fucking work horse. It never fails. I love it for such a cheap thing.
