good scale suggestions

you know what my last dealer had that i loved? a triple beam balance. it always cracked me up =) don't know what to recommend to ya, though - so good luck!

 

I bought one at my headshop for $35. .01 gram accuracy. Very fucking accurate. Things the shit.

I jus called them and asked whats the cheapest digis they got that go within .01 accuracy, He told me $40, Come in he'll hook me up.

I went in that night, He hooked me up with the scale for $40, Along with a free new issue of Hightimes, 5 blunts of my choice, A pack of papers, And a 10 pack of incencse.

$40 aient bad for a digi.

 

why not? mines last me about a year and a half now you just have to take care of it like any scale

 

The good thing about a triple-beam is that is more reliable than any digi you'll find. Computers can make errors based on programming malfunctions, but the physics of a triple-beam will never lie. The bad thing is that they aren't very portable.

Anyway, if you want a digi, this is what I found for ya:

The scale that I have is the shit. Let me tell you that it has been through a lot and still kicking. First some random coke dealer had it, then my cousin took it, he had it for a couple year, gave it to me, and I have had it since about December. I have dropped it numberous times and the cover and scale is very durable. http://balance.balances.com/scales/21. It's an Ohaus 120. I would highly recommend it, never did me wrong.

 

Same for mine Joker

I've dropped it fumbling for my keys directly on to asphalt and it's never failed me. It reads to the point fast an accurate every time.

Thats why you don't buy shit scales off ebay...for maybe 3 or 4x the money you get a euro/jap or american made scale with a simple yet highly effective cap driven counterweight.

It's not based on using the measuring device as the sole contact point rather it's like a keyboard key in design. This can take a beating while a cheap model's wires will bend an break sooner or later.

 

Ohaus triple beam.....

the standard of small scale accuracy for decades....not cheap, not very portable...but last forever. An dead nuts accurate.

not digital...not cool....old school bullit proof never fail scales...

 

I'd like to get a triple-beam scale, i don't really trust digital ones. I don't carry a scale because that can get you into a lot of trouble.
