Just want to share this wonderful little gem with all of you.

The My Weigh Lucky 11 is a analog scale that can handle 0.01g, and that only cost $19 or less. Great value!!

it says it's .01 g acurate... i never had a scale and was wondering if it would be ok to use to measure out 10-20 mgs of gold for example? or measure out like 5 mgs ?

btw which scale would you reccomend for under $25 that is best for measuring small stuff acuratelly...

I have one, it's a plastic piece of shit. There may be markings down to .01g but it's so poorly made and the parts are so loose that an accurate measurement is impossible, not to mention the fact that the only way you know it's balanced is by stooping down and eyeballing it. It looks good on the web but you get what you pay for :-(

agh ... i'll use ebay then and get some used digital scale...

do you think 0.1g Accuracy Digital Scale will be the best a good deal?

Like i want a scale that will be able to measure out very small doses of stuff... what kinda accuracy do i need please help.

what're you measuring?

you'll need at least 0.01g for research chems, but pretty much everything else is fine at 0.1g

I know a great scale that reads 50g x 0.01mg for $100. Only if you live in Canada though.

forget that...go to office depot and pick up a $25 DIGITAL scale. mines been working great for 2 years!

I got a 25 dollar (CAN) spring-scale at the Toronto Hemp Company about 6 months ago, and it's great if you're weighing out dime bags. But I wouldn't use it for really precise shit, and it'd probably waste you a little money if you used it for coke, seeing as the tendancy is to weight everything a little on the heavy side to be safe. But for weed up to 1 oz. it's great. No use spending the cash for a digital if you don't really need it.

umm .01 gram accuracy wont measure miligrams,a miligram is a thousance of a gram,think people.

the only heavy-duty miligram scale you can buy thats gonna last awile is a lab grade one

This scale is not a little peace of plastic junk, thats why I posted it. It's a high quality METAL scale that outprice ANY digital scale at this price range ($13-$19).

Anyway, isn't it better to have a 0.01g scale then a 0.1 scale?

I ordered mine from myweigh.com and it's plastic, and it sucks...

Fragoholic,

You are propably talking about the Accugem model (0.05g and made of plastic). http://www.myweigh.com/pocketscales_accugem.html

decagram= .1

centigram=.01

milligram=.001

In my experiences, those little manual hand scales suck ass. I have purchased one a few weeks ago which was not of name brand, however, I have serious doubts about even the myweight ones.

If you are trying to weigh out dimes and dubs of marijuana, dont bother! Just pack them into the almost pre measured bags designed for this purpose. When I sell weed under the 8th ounce, this is what I do and my customers are usually happy with the results.

Now for something like coke/meth you are going to need a nice digital scale. Something costing around 40-80 dollars will do fine. They weigh up to 0.1 grams accurately.

For something like research chems, I would go with what CrazyAmishMan said. I have never done research chems myself nor do I know much about them. However from what I heard, you need to take pretty small and precise doses.

I have that Palmscale and it works very good and it's always accurate. It's my third one so far but it's lasted the longest and the batteries last a long time (2-3 months compared to a couple weeks with others). I wouldn't say someone would need to go out and get one unless they're not worried about taking a loss if it breaks (you probably won't get your money back, at a head shop anyway). But if .1 gram is going to be the difference between a $20 and a $30 bag of umm.... gold, get a digi whenever possible. Oh yeah, and treat it like it's made of glass, don't lend it out either.
