just baught a scale but can't read it...

yup i just baught a scale but don't know how many grams is what...if you can help me that would be great

dime ___g
dub___g
1/2 8th___g
8th___g
and so on...

 

a dime is usually about 1g, a dug idk half eight is about 1.75 grams and an eight is 3.5 and a half is 7 grams etc

i think

 

8th 3.5g
Quarter 7gs
Half 14gs
Ounce 28gs

A dime and dub are not measurments of weight, they are a measurment of money. As in, how much your dealer wants to give you for $10 or $20.

Depending on quality a dime could be anything from half a gram to 2 grams of low quality bud, I think you can figure the rest out by yourself.

 

i disagree, I think it has to do with where you live/ your circle of friends.... around here, a dub is anywere from 4-6 grams and ranges from $20-$60

 

if an 8th is 3.5g and a dub is 4-6g then how come a dub is more grams than an 8th??? :S

 

Depends on the price schedual on in your area and all. But it goes

dime bag=1.0G
Eighth=3.5
Querter ounze=7g
Half ounze=14g
ounze=28g
Qeurter pound=112g
Half Pound=224g
3/4 of a pound=336g
Pound=448g

I think thats about right.

 

well a dime bag is about $10 for regular green... half 8th green about $25...8th $50, here where i live

 

If neither the price or quantity of bud is constant, what makes it a dub? Your system is seriously flawed. Why on earth would a $60 sack containing 6 grams be considered a dub? It just makes no sense.

Something has to remain constant for a name to mean anything, either the price or quantity. Considering the name dime is in reference to price, a dime is just $10 of pot, a dub is twice that. Unless you thnk a dimebag is 10 grams. Tell anyone a dimebag is 10 grams and they will shoot you in the right leg.


Dime = 10. $10 of bud. Dub = short for double, twice that of a dime. If you are "rolling on dubs" you have 20" rims. the number 20 is constant. $20 of bud.


That's why 8ths, quarters, halfs, oz etc are a good way to buy/sell bud. If you buy an 8th it's 3.5 grams of weed (unless you have a crappy dealer) Then, you factor in quality to get the price.

Nickle bags are $5, dime bags are $10, dubs are $20. The price of a gram is not constant, because the quantity is.

With better quality bud you get LESS quantity for your money. So a nickle, dime, or dub of some really nice pot will have less than a nickle, dime, or dub of schwag.

 

Because these people are wrong, a dub is not 4-6g.

Nickle
Dime
Dub
8th
Quarter
Half
Ounce
QP
Half Pound
Pound

From small to big. That's the way it's always been, ask anyone that knows anything.

 

First things first, you need to calibrate the scale...

 

Indeed, is this a digi or one of those little gold hanging ones?

Make sure to tare the weight of the bag too, if you are going to weigh it that way.

 

schwag is 2 bucks a gram, but no one buys that...10 bucks will get u 2 grams of some pretty good regs.. mids is like 10 bucks a gram...dank is 1.2 gram for $20... best stuff is $25 a gram...

 

It's a digital scale 500g max

 

i brought this back from the dead because i still dont know how to calibrate the scale...

 

Prices are regional, but measurements are universal.

 

he's a youngin.. probably gettin his shit mixed up.. we use "dub" as a 20sack.. but sometimes an 1/8th is $20... hence an 1/8th = a "dub".. but sometimes we then use "dub" as slang just for an 1/8th.. because if 1/8ths cost $20 and is a "dub" then all 1/8ths are called a "dub"... just like a rose is a rose no matter how it smells or what color it is..

 

damnit i know this shit thats not the question the question is

HOW DO I CALIBRATE THE SCALE??

 

put a nickle on the scale.. if it reads 5g.. then its calibrated

 

sorry.. forgot to continue.. if its not 5g... then lift the coin off.. and hit the zero out button.. orwhateve it may be called on your scale and put it on there again.. til its at 5g.. also make sure your on a hard flat surface

 

mmk thanks alot
