yea, I agree I was more asking about which scales because I don't want to spend a ton, but the one I just got off ebay sucks And also how do you guys measure yours, I use a rolling paper and load the powder onto that, so that I don't have to lick the scale or lose powder dumping it off the scale
I have an Acculab VIC-123. Although it cost me nearly $300 CDN, it was worth every penny. I can weigh exact doses! I also have experience with cheap ebay scales. I can tell you, they are not worth it! Just buy an Acculab, even a gempro. They are just much better for the job at hand. Those ebay scales are only good for being accurate with weed, in my opinion. When you're dealing with chemicals like this, you need to be very careful. Research Chemicals are an expensive hobby, with expensive accessories. If you can't pay the price for a good scale, don't play around with Research Chemicals.
I just bought I Gempro-250 for about 170 dollars, even though I have heard it is not quite as good as the acculab mentioned above, I have heard it is the best sub-200 dollar scale.
I was thinking about getting A Jennings JSVG20 for about $100 including shipping, its minimum weight is 2mg's but I guess thats good enough for most phenethylamines maybe not as good for the DOx's but its got a 20 year warranty and thats the best price i can find. Think i should dig deeper in my pockets for something better?
I think 2mg is accurate enough for most tryps and phens. If you need to measure out 1mg or even 0.5mg, you can eye 2mg into two or four equal portions. Eyeing is generally not a smart "weigh" to go, but I really think dividing 2mg in half (twice, if necessary) is fairly safe. Anyone who has seen/worked with a 2mg portion of powder/crystal will probably agree. For the cost, Jennings makes a decent scale. I think you'd be making a wise decision to spend the $100.

thanks for the feedback i'm going to get it as soon as i find the chemicals to put on top of it lol. Just made my first order though so won't be long
Its great came with Calibration weight, protective case, vibrakill pad, and a little scoop tray for holding things. I've only put tiny pieces of bud on it so far seems like its accurate at .002, I'll tell everyone the website it's a legit scale store dont know if its allowed though?
Feel free to post a link to it. As long as it's relevant to the thread, and purchasing the item isn't illegal (it's not), then you're good to go.
Ive used the Jennings JSVG20 scale extensively, and for the money its a decent scale. It'll work great for most RCs. Just make sure to re-weigh your samples several times. If your going to be using this scale to measure things like DOx, bromo dragonfly, ect then make sure you weigh a larger sample and then dissovle that into a solution and use liquid measurements to weigh out individual doses.
alright I got it at http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/ there located in the US probably got whatever scale anyone needs. Anyone just getting into this kind of stuff please get a scale!!!!!!!!!
nice.. thanks for the info. i need to purchase a scale. yeah i don't know wtf i'm gunna tell my parents it's for when it arrives. any ideas? lol
