Where to Find a Good Mg Scale? (+rep reward)

Hey I'm looking for a mg scale, not trying to spend too much money.

I'd like it to have a calibration weight if possible, I've learned that even crappy scales can be reliable when you calibrate before each use.

I bought mine at my head shop. There are a few rc vendors that carry them, other than that cheap ebay ones have a decent track record as most don't have the funds to go with an analytical one. Just generally a good rule of thumb is to get some 5 and 10 gram weights to calibrate, and always assume +/- 5 mg. You can weigh a larger amount a dissolve it into a known amount of water creating a ml/mg dosing.

Peace

Nah I asked shepj first then he didn't respond (figured hes busy) so I just brought the simple question to the forum

-5/+5 ? Does it measure like 3mg-5mg well?

Yes... but the recognition of 5mg's is slow to pick up. Usually you'll need to way at least ten mg's for it to register properly. But a simple calibration will take care of that.... I've only calibrated it once.. .and that's when I first got it...ever since it worked like a charm! I'll get grams of various things. and weigh it out and bam... it weighs it as 1 gram... so thus it works :)

In certain areas you can find them at headshops and such... but some areas are not so cool to offer those products openly. Ebay is a good place to start... but I believe the OP of this thread has already gone through with success :)

There we go... can't ask for more! My little weight chest full of wonders came with a bag for the scale, a calibration weight, tweezers, and a tipping scale that is removable ;)
