as per title.
my best answer is weigh 100mg, then split it into 5 even groups

how many digits is the scale? do you have the calibration weight it came with?

Yeah thats what I would do. If you wanted to be more accurate you could dilute in some kind of solvent ( like water ) and measure that way, depending on how you are taking whatever you are measuring.
You can buy some good scales on amazon.
I really like this one, I've bought it three times

But I kept losing it. Watch out for the cheapest ones, they usually aren't very good. Get a nice sturdy one.
I’d suggest just getting a new scale. I make my own ODSMT, 2c-b, m-amp, 4-ho-met/4-aco-DMT etc capsules and originally used a $20 scale from Amazon. Sometimes it would bounce around within a 5mg range but other than maybe 2c(depending on how weak/strong I wanted them) being within ~5mg of any of those wouldn’t cause much of a difference. And for the most part when it did jump around randomly, turning it off and back on(re-calibrating is always a good measure as well) usually fixed the issue, but most of the time I didn’t bother. I knew my capsules weighed 50mg so I’d just weigh whatever inside the capsule and if it was reading 45 for the cap alone and I wanted 20mg of 2c-b I’d fill the capsule til the scale read .065. Now that I mentioned that you could also buy capsules and do your weighing by putting it in a capsule to bring the weight above 50mg, but as another user said I wouldn’t really trust accuracy if it doesn’t register anything at all until 50+.
I think it was Fuzion brand but could be wrong on that as it’s also the brand of my (better) new one. It came in a zipper soft case with a powder dish and a scoop snd pair of tweezers, both plastic and the weight came in the case as well - all 3 accessories had their own little ‘holder’ inside the soft case. Describing it in case you decide to look on Amazon and stumble across that particular one and it’s the mentioned brand. If you have the extra cash I’d suggest getting a slightly more expensive one, the better one I have now is from a local smoke shop and only cost me $50 but it’s accuracy is spot on and it reads the same in probably 98% of cases. If something seems off(or I know for sure it is) I re-calibrate and issue solved.

The above link took me to this... are we sure this is correct ? Just askin ain't the scale police or nothin maybe needs fixin? IDK....

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t pick that one if I wanted to weigh sub-100mg doses. Shit, probably not even 100 - the .01 scale I used to have didn’t register anything until .3

This is the original one I was talking about in my previous post -
And this is the newer one, which turns out the smoke shop is a rip off cause it’s actually cheaper than the old one(but this one I actually do find to be better/more consistent+accurate)

Yeah its the best scale I've ever had, very accurate, all 3 of them. I've had scales with way more decimal points that were way less accurate or had other issues (Not that I've spent a lot of money on them though) Too bad its not in stock anymore.

Anyway the point wasn't to say buy that scale, just an example.
But yeah if you want to dive into research chemicals with very small dosages, then maybe you'd need more than two points. But for most drugs, its enough.

Is the substance tested. What substance both very important, had the same problem.
long time ago, so i don t exactly know what substance. But it was a substance that needed mg measurement, or quite close and confirmed by measuring Oak.
Are self balancing scales to be trusted these day s, i did.
[lost the measuring Oak along the way]
The advise i got was if the Vendor would sell me a package of a gram.
I could check that, had 2 scale a analogue diamond one, and a digital one.
Last was accurate for a substance like MDMA [tested] good till 100 with increments.
For ~1 to 5 mg you need a better one or use volumetric measuring.
The order you can check with a 0.1 or till ~ 50 mg accurate balance.
Purity is another thing but with most 2-C s and Tryptamine s a.o.
Can t find the thread i am speechless, this should n be to heard to find.
But me i hope.
But with those you ll need more accurate measurement.

True enough.
Just expected to see some new fangled device and thought maybe the link was corrupted... my bad.
Hope you have a good one!
Peace
