    how do you guys make sure your getting what you paid for?

    i usually get about 1/4 oz everytime i pick up, and most times the amount i get varies a bit. how do you guys suggest i make sure it is indeed 7.5 grams.

    right now i just look at it, and it in relation to the bag its in... not too accurate...

    thanks in advance for any help/advice [​IMG]

    w/o a scale all u can basically do is trust ur dealer and have experience to kno whether or not u are getting wat u paid for... also, be cool about it.. like dont get pissed off if u get a really good deal and get slightly shorted or if u are barely shorted, cause u dont want to be thought of as greedy or shady

    First and foremost, a quarter is 7 grams. As for measuring without a scale, you can't. I'd definitely advise you to put a digital scale at the top of your shopping list, as you can't expect to be a productive member of (drug) society without one.

    Lately I've been distributing quarter pounds into dimes($-g)(10-1.25) Dub(20-4.00)Quarter(30-8)
    And in my experience of the past 6 months, is that its damned near impossible to be sure abuot weight besides trusting the dealer, and haven a scale) Dense brick weed 4 g's barely looks like a normal one of my dime bags. Its not realy moisture eithor, some stuff is just realy packed tight for transportation.

    If you can't afford a digi, get a hand scale. They are only a couple of dollars and fairly accurate. At least, accurate enough so you don't get ripped off.

    just buy a simple spring scale. you clip it to the bad and see how much it weighs. though with spring scales you need to know how much the bag weighs.

    I can make a 1g nugget weigh 2g. Inject a heavy liquid non poisonious liquid, i.e. water. Or even keep it in a very humid area for a little while. If you're a real asshole, add mercury.

    I knew a guy who did this a long time ago, and he ended up getting beaten almost to death. Fucking people over is not a good idea or good ethics. Fucking people over on a black market is just fucking stupid.

    Fucking peopel over totaly isn't cool, I could sell what I do for more than I do, especialy cause I'm in highschool(where ignorance rules) but I sell it as cheap as I can to smoke for free myself. Usualy buy a qp, keep 1 oz, and sell the 3 at what I need to to get my money back to buy another qp.

    Im not trying to make money, or be a buisnessman... im trying to play a part in the chain, while getting myself free green.

    Bud density makes eyeballing it impossible.

    i was reading through the thread hoping for someone to say this before me.

    there's just not much point in eyeballing--just buy from friends or get a scale. OR just live with what you get served.

    peace.

    If you do use a hand scale and want to make sure it is accurate. A nickle weighs 5 grams. I always try to keep one with my hand scale since they get out of wack really easy.

    if you are only getting a quater dont bring a scale

    after awhile that gets shady, weighing out the bud everytime for a quater is gonna make the dealer irritated and will look like u dont trust him.
    Just buy the bags and dont look like a dumb ass and know what your doing

    How do you re-callibrate a spring scale? Mine now reads a nickel at 4 grams, and it gets confusing when I'm trying to adjust the math to compensate.
