Weighing on a 1/10 of a gram scale?

Hey I just acquired some MDMA, the only problem is that the scale I bought only weighs by the tenth of a gram. Meaning it could be off by as much as that. Is there a way to accurately weigh out doses using this scale somehow? Thanks.
 
You can use volumetric measurement...

It is not further weighing, but it starts with weighing an amount with limited accuracy, and then dissolving that amount in a precise volume of a solvent. Using liquid measurement equipment like cylinders and small needle-less syringes you can use that as a sort of multiplier on your accuracy.

So for example if you weigh a gram, more or less, then you can dissolve that in water or alcohol, say 10 ml. If you have precise syringes you can then measure whatever fraction you want, IF you have markings on your 'barrels' that allow gauging such exact volumes.
Mind you, you can weigh liquids and using their densities convert the volume into weight, though again - quite an error margin. Better is to use like a kitchen pitcher with volume markings. Oral syringes can be bought at pet stores for giving medicine.

There is a centralized volumetric measurement thread in the PD forum (follow the Psychedelic Index and find those keywords)...

Beyond that, there are very sketchy ways to make mechanical balances that give you accuracy but that is not what you want... So there are not good alternatives besides getting a milligram scale (they are cheap, again centralized thread on it in PD)
 
Would weighing it with the contents in the bag, then weighing the bag separate work? Weighs 1.4 with the bag, someone on another forum said something about the scale being more accurate when over a gram?
 
Weighing the small amounts of powder on top of something with a registered weight on the scale will allow for more accuracy. This is because the scale often has a hard time registering a weight that tests the limits of its sensitivity in a sense. Also there is a relative error on your scale that could be as high as +-20mg or something. So basically there is no way to make your scale more precise you can make it easier on both you and the scale by weighing it with the bag but that won't make a scale that goes to 0.1 be accurate to 0.01.

That's not to say you can't use it for a more accurate way of dosing :)
 
Just buy a milligram scale. As Solipsis said, they are cheap. If you can afford MDMA, you can afford a proper scale.
