Ok I have read about the putting shit into liquid and dissolving it and the "graph paper" method, but is there any way that you can find a scale to measure out this shit. It would probably be expensive as fuck but you can always return something once you have a receipt for it. So can somebody please let me know if there are Scales out there that measure in MG's, like if I were to measure out some T7. PEACE
 
Dude think about it, you get 250 Mgs and break it all up into a few 15 mg sacks, some 20's and whatever you feel like it, then return your scale, no damage done to it and it has served your purpose while at the same time being safe and having an accurate measure of your shit instead of guessing. PEACE
 
These things are pretty damn expensive - it might be harder than you think to simply return to the shop. Unless it's faulty (and you didn't break it), you'd have to do a pretty good job convincing them that they should give you your money back. Just a thought - wouldn't wan't you stuck with a $300 set of scales...

Cheap bastards! It's a good investment.. I have seen scales accurate down to 2mg on eBay for under $300... a true milligram digital scale will run over $500 - http://www.balances.com is where I got mine.. if you plan on playing with these milligram sensitive drugs you really need a digi, especially if you want to have control - ie up the dose by 2mg or 3mg ..

If you really wanna be cool, (and impress the ladies while your at it!) you really gotta own your own digital scale. Phreex is right, Balances.com is a fantastic place to go. Might I recommend:

This baby is dirt cheap, and measured down to an impressive accuracy of 2mg. For that kind of precision, this is a steal at $240.00 - and it's a Tanita, so I am confident in its craftsmanship. I have been using this scale for over a year with nothing but good things to say about it.
Peace.

Real quick lesson in weigt here, as I am SICK of seeing people link to $20 scales they claim are accurate to "the milligram" .. ok, there are 1000mg in a gram, so on a digital scale, in terms of GRAMS, that works out 1mg = .001g, NOT .1g .. so these scales that read out to .1g are only in 100mg incriments. and they are only accurate to about the 140mg mark, sorry, thats no good...
As pointed out, my reading of .01g was wrong, and .01g respresents 10mg - still, not accurate enough for drugs sensitve in the milligram range..

Use a 1cc syringe. Without liqued. Fill a few syringes with powder and compress the plunger. Weigh them on a reasonably accurate scale. Then you can measure it out just by density and volume. k for instance, 10 units in a syringe compressed tight ~= 100mg. Useing a 1/2cc rig you can get pretty decent accuracy.
 
I've got a question about the afformentioned syringe method:
It seems to me if you're using any dry powder, you're actually taking a chance when you change the volume of the 2-ct-7 inside the syringe. Even powder "tightly packed" I would assume can change how tightly packed it becomes by just settling in a different manner.
Now I'm not sure how large the margin of error is on this method, because I've never utilized it -- I'll be shelling out the $250 for the scale when the time comes. It strikes me if 2-ct-7 is *that* dose-sensitive, it's something that might be taken into consideration.
Also, am I right in assuming that this method should *not* be used for insuffulation? If the afforementioned "margin of error" was even plus or minus 3mg, you could have a completely different strengthed trip.
 
The syringe idea sounds foolish.. various powders have differn't weights, and I dont see any way to recover the powder in an orderly manor.. if you dont have a mg-accurate digi, then simply use the water displacement method..

tightly packed:
grind the powder in a mortar and pestle
add a very small amount at a time, and tap the container on a hard surface a few times after you add each amount.
make sure the substance is level, especially at the very top.
this should result in the most tightly packed possible.
we used that method to measure magnetic susceptibilities, where you need to know not only the mass of the substance down to 0.01 mg, but the *exact* length of the column of powder in the tube... and if it's not packed perfectly tightly the results are highly inaccurate. so it should work for measuring weights.
 
once you get powder into a 10 mg pile its not too hard to eyeball it with very close accuracy.
