Any drug dealers here?
 
If so, what do you use for scales? I'm looking for cheap yet accurate scales that will weigh at least 0.1g increments. 0.01g would be better.

Go to a headshop and they should have a decent selection of scales. The prices jump from a reasonable $30-70 for a scale that weighs to the tens to anywhere up to $100 plus for one that reads to the hundreds.

i know my friends on edmonton reptiles forums sell them as they keep weight on their breeding stock! they do come up for sale as well!

Ya, I think we might have a couple of those downtown, I'll see if I can find one.

If you are looking for something that acurrate, look for a diamond carat scale.

Casey8 04-15-2012 04:46 AM

Psstt ... You don't need to yell that loud ... I don't sell the scale but I have THAT one for you ... just let me know how much you need ...

I've seen some gem scales online for under 5 bucks, I'm suspicious of the accuracy...

e46er 04-15-2012 05:06 AM

Any pharmacy will have them a decent one your looking around $50 but that will weigh to a gram
0.1 will cost more probably upwards of a $100
I've heard thru the grapevine of a few people I know with .01 gram scales an they were $500
Mine weights to the nearest gram it works fine for additives

ScubaSteve 04-15-2012 05:10 AM

Go on to Cole Parmer's website and get a scientific scale. I got one that weights to 0.001g for about $90 (but that might have included the UBC discount... can't remember).

Nano 04-15-2012 05:24 AM

I'll ask my neighbour his apartment always smells nice ;)

scubadawg 04-15-2012 05:46 AM

I got one off ebay for measuring my stylus weight on my turntable, even came with a 5 gram weight for testing.

Borderjumper 04-15-2012 05:50 AM

Try a hunting/ shooting website and look at the reloading scales.

Trigs 04-15-2012 10:05 AM

aquattro is actually a undercover...

reefme 04-15-2012 12:29 PM

Geeez Brad!!! feeling a little offended here... when I tell you it is 0.01g...honestly.... you can trust me. :surprise:

Wrong drugs, I think :)

Whatever you get make sure you get a calibration kit.

I can probably calibrate against a known weight. I think any decent scale comes with something, or I can buy a couple of bulk almonds and check it against the grocery receipt :)

Hemp shops will carry them. The digital scales are .1 and up

Thinking more like 0.5g of lead :) I think I can afford lead....

reef-keeper 04-15-2012 02:36 PM

I think a reload scale at any gun shop will work for you

paddyob 04-15-2012 02:42 PM

Food scales work too. Lots out there.

Not sure how small of increments... but I am sure cheaper than a headshop by at least 50%.

Most food scales start at 1g increments. I need to measure mg, although mostly in the 100's, so a 0.1g increment scale will work.
Turns out I have a hunting store closer than a head shop, so I'll look there.

Arok3000 04-15-2012 03:26 PM

There's a scale at the Source that measures to tenths. It's fairly accurate, and always linear, so if you can calibrate it, it works well for about 15 bucks.

ColinD 04-15-2012 03:35 PM

IPP (Industrial Paints and Plastic) should have scales for mixing epoxy that measure in .01. I have one to measure out my rod building epoxy. Think it cost me $25.

check out pawn shops, They normally have an assortment of them, might be able to find a cheaper one there

not a bad idea. Although the Source has a couple, but their site doesn't give any details...

Myka 04-15-2012 04:49 PM

:lol: Brad!

I bought my little scale on eBay for like $10 I think. It matches the scale at the post office (I use it for weighing mail to see if I need a second stamp something). It is accurate to 0.01g and maxes out at 100g. I have a kitchen scale that goes to 5kg accurate to 1g that I bought at Canadian Tire for $15.

Aquattro 04-15-2012 04:55 PM

Ideally something that does 0.01g to 100g would be perfect. I'm gonna look around today, should find something. Got a bag of white powder to weight out :razz:

Finisher604 04-15-2012 05:07 PM

Libra scale has every kind of scale you could dream of
They ship from vancouver.

Heh...I weigh all sorts of white and cream colored powders. :lol:

Go to eBay and search "digital scale 0.01" and you get a tonne of them for $10-15.

How many times has this thread been reported from the not so humor gifted?

chandigz 04-15-2012 10:56 PM

surprisingly not at all :mrgreen:

toytech 04-16-2012 02:03 AM

Why would this thread be reported ,who would be surprised when a bunch of people with HUGE electrical consumption , Glowing houses and an interset in chemistry would be looking for acurate scales. I think anyone who runs a reef tank has the technical knowledge to master indoor agriculture , or turn cough surup and draino into uh ,stuff . Good thing we are a bunch of outstanding citizens or we could build some scary stuff.
