☛ Official ☚ The Big & Dandy Scale / Balance Thread - Part 2.000±

some anybody please help. i'm just looking for mg scale that will measure between 50-110mg give or take maybe 5- 10 variabilty. i'm not too concerned about exact measurement. i i could get one with maybe an accuracy of at least 5%-mgs? but not more than 10mgs. i'll be happy. i won't be using any low dose rc's. of course i could always empty caps in half for 25mg. i mean are there scales that are good at measurung 50-100mg-or are better for measuing certain ranges under a gram- but less or more is way off that particular mg range. please help, i need to buy my scale by tomorrow beacuse i'm getting rc's on wed but i'll be out of town, i ned to do it quick! please help! ernie

Yes that should work but i dont think its absolutely necesary calibrate before every use. especially with a good scale. Try recalibrating once a month or every couple weeks depending on how often you use it.
I would get a scale accurate to 1mg or 2mg for better accuracy. 3mg is to wide a margin when dealing with RC's especially really dose sensitive ones.



ebay has worked fine for me.

which one?

I'm wondering if the american weigh gemini-20 might be too small to weigh out doses of methylone or MDAI (100-200mg range) as the area is only 1.3" n diameter. Anyone have experience with this or similar scale? Not really worried about inaccuracy for these doses as long as there +-10mg or under. I realize that if this is the case i could just weigh smaller amounts but I would rather not.
Thanks in advance.

yes exactly mine is 50-100mg. help?
 
Where to buy scales accurate for dose sensitive chemicals?

Recently got my hands on some 2ct7 which is the one I've wanted to try from the beginning, I have 500mgs and REALLY don't want to fuck around with this one. I see some on ebay but not sure if they're going to be accurate 100% of the time.... I have a budget of 100 bucks for a scale.

Thanks
 
I've still got no complaints with my eBay specials - best £20 I ever spent :)

Also, much like your scales, there's a merge in the post. I'll leave it unmerged for a while longer but if you look over the horizon you'll see the B&D Scales thread linkied above looming on the horizon - tons of recommendations and info in there for you to look through :)
 
Have you considered liquid dosing? I don't know about T-7 in particular but 2Cs in general take very well to solution. You can dissolve your 500mg in a measured amount of distilled water and/or alcohol, then use a syringe/dropper/pipette type thing to measure doses by volume. You'd still need a good enough scale to weigh your initial amount to be sure it's 500mg (it's rare but not unheard of to get the wrong amount from a vendor), but this eliminates the need for a scale accurate enough to weigh out individual doses. Plus, good scale or no, separating a couple mg at a time from a bag of powder is a pain in the arse. Measuring a certain number of mL of a liquid solution, OTOH, is quite easy.
 
personally id be afraid that the people i bought it from mislabeled the amounts in the bag, unless your attuned to see the difference between a gram or a half gram of powder this could be trouble. especially when your working with really small amounts like t7 (or other RC's). however its equally as possible a scale could fuck up as well. however, id feel more comfertable with a scale.
 
Honestly, it depends on what compound you're planning on dosing-- and the amount of risk you're willing to take. You could need a several thousand dollar analytical balance from a scientific instrumentation firm, or you could need a little gem scale off of ebay.

Usually though, a gem scale combined with liquid-measurement techniques will ensure an "accurate enough" dosage.
 
I have two scales, the Tanita 1230 and the AWS DIA-10. Actually, I SHOULDN'T have the DIA-10. The company where I was buying it from e-mailed me after I sent payment and told me that it was out of stock. They refunded my money and apologized...but I still received the scale in the mail :)! Someone fucked up in their shipping department. I only wish that could've happened with the Tanita.

The Tanita is very accurate. It comes with a 20gram weight, and I also have 5 and 10 gram weights from the DIA-10. The accuracy has never been off by more than 2mg. The only problem with this scale is that, at least in my experience, it eats through batteries like a hog. Even when it's shut off, the battery's seem to whither away so fast that it doesn't make sense. I've made a habit now that when I use this scale, I take the batteries out after. It's a bit tedious, and shouldn't have to be done, so I do wish I had a plug-in scale.

The DIA-10 has basically become my ketamine scale. It is still pretty accurate, but I just can't bring myself to trust a $30 scale With fine measurements of under 25mg. The batteries also seem to last much longer in the DIA-10, so doing a lot of ket measurements isn't as rough on your battery life, and you don't need that complete accuracy you find in Tanita 1230.

I think I've had both for about a year now, and for what I use them for, I'm quite happy with both.
 
Digital scale help!!

So I am looking for a cheap digital scale that can measure milligrams. I have found many at a range of prices that have a resolution to .001 or .002, so meaning that weighing 100 mg should only be a milligram or 2 off. That's correct, right? Also the reason of my post is that I have seen scales that say they have this accuracy in my price range from 30 bucks to under 200. Obviously a myweigh 250 which costs 160 bucks or so will be better than precision scale 10 that only cost 30 bucks, but can the cheaper scale really give precise accurate readings?
 
I know that I can buy one for cheap, that's not the question.. It's about the accuracy at the price.
 
Precision pro scale 10 is one of the cheap ones I found if anyone cares to look and the better one is a myweigh Gempro 250
 
Well I think you already know the answer to your question.
you GET what you PAY FOR.
Obviously the higher-priced scales are going to be more accurate, durable, and less prone to breaking.

I've found the cheap milligram scales are pretty accurate, especially if you calibrate, but they don't last as long as a nicer, expensive scale.

So in the long run if you buy cheapies, you'll end up spending about the same after they break and you buy new ones, or you can spend the money up front, take care of your equipment, and it'll last you a long time.

Your decision.
 
Very true, and yes I do know the answer, But you just stated that a more expensive will have better accuracy but the cheap ones are pretty accurate. but can a cheap one actually have a .001 resolution? Seems unlikely at price.
 
Yes, it can. But it won't last long for ya. The cheap ones are REALLY sensitive... like if you drop it, it's done, even if you slam them down accidentally or bump them too hard, they'll either break or be less accurate for the rest of it's life.

You're truly better off getting the nicer one, especially a MyWeigh... they are a class act company with great products and customer support.

If the MyWeigh is more expensive, but still in your price range [I believe you said $200 and the MyWeigh is $160] I would just get the MyWeigh. It's worth it. If you take care of them they will last you forever.

Plus MyWeigh has great warranties and they will replace your unit in many cases if it breaks.
