Has anyone bought this scale before?

Basically its a milligram scale for 23 bucks, and I read the reviews on the site and the people gave it good reviews, but it could just be a scam or a total ripoff and the scale could be broken, so im wondering if anyone here has ever bought it and if it worked?

 

I have that very scale. it is quite accurate (within 2-3mg on the 10g mass).

however, it has difficulty reading an increasing mass (ie: adding powder to a pile), as well as reading masses under about 10-15mg (tends to consider this an inaccuracy and re-tares itself to this)

If using this scale, i suggest finding the mass of the little tray/cup, then removing it, adding powder, and reweighing again (subtract the difference).

 

And how exactly does the calibrating device work?

 

I have that very scale, and it works. It frequently is off by up to 10mg +/-, so don't use it for drugs that are sensitive at those levels (its fine for mdma, ketamine, dpt, dmt, etc).

It comes with a 100g weight for calibration. You simply hold the on button for 3 seconds to enter calibration mode, wait until its ready, then put the weight on, let it settle, and you're done.

it's well worth the price, just be prepared to have every measurement off by as much as 10mg (worst case scenario, its often less than that)

It comes with a little bowl that's shaped to fit on the weighing area that you can pour your powder into, and its all very portable, the whole box is the size of two wallets.

 

you sure thats the same scale? the scale itself is about 2 wallets in size, but with its box, its about twice that.

also, the calibration mass is 10g (scale can read upto 20g), and quite simple to use.

 

our idea of 'wallet' is different, and yeah its probably 10g my bad

 

I have that on the way. Takes a while to get here from hong kong or wherever they send it from.

 

Damn, I ordered it almost a week ago and i checked to see its status and it still said 'waiting on supplier'. Does this mean that they dont have any in stock and it could take quite a while?

 

It took 11 days from placing the order to when I got the shipping notice, and 2 weeks from then until I got the scale. So they move a bit slow, but I got it.

Of course I don't have extra batteries so I can't say if the thing works! But it arrived in what looked like good condition.

edit: found batteries, and it works. So while I HATE waiting for things, seems like a good enough deal, especially since I plan on getting into some RC's.

 

I ordered my one from there! It been about 6 days and its just been shipped... Its still sitting in China waiting to be sent to me over here in the UK.

Will let you know how good it is when it arrives......

I feel like i have waited for ever since i received my optional extras... gagging to try them out!

Love
