    I don't want to spend to much on a scale, but i wan't it to be very reliable. The ones i'm looking at are:
    [ame=http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Black-Digital-Pocket/dp/B0012N1NAA/]Amazon.com: American Weigh Black Blade Digital Pocket Scale, 1000 by 0.1 G: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]

    [ame=http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Signature-AWS-100-Digital/dp/B0012LOQUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1296435443&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: American Weigh Signature Series Black AWS-100 Digital Pocket Scale, 100 by 0.01 G: Home & Garden[/ame]

    If you have any others you'd like suggest, that's cool too. Nothing over 20$ though.

    0.01 is pretty nice to have :)

    The third. Scales that don't weigh to hundredths are about as useful as a poopie flavored lollipop tbh.

    So one for the middle, and one for the last aiight. But yeah i need them to be pretty accurate or im gonna be losing some cash gradually. And do i need to buy the calibration weight? Or can i just use nickels ?

    You want that .01 good to have the extra digit. Also if you have a US nickle i know it works for most made after 2005? whatever year they started making them weird lol.

    you can go to any headshop and get a reliable pocket scale for 20 dollars and under

    If you really want to calibrate a scale correctly, buy the calibrating weights. I would never calibrate a scale using a nickle.

    Alright so now i'm getting mixed signals, should i calibrate it with the weight ( if so, do i need to get both recommended on that page, the 50g and 100g, or only one) or 20 nickels ?
     
  12. #12 PuRPzz, Jan 31, 2011
    i dono dude u shouldent need those things to calibrate it
     
  13. #13 Lunati, Jan 31, 2011
    A nickel can weigh from between 4.8g and 5.1g.
     
  14. #14 CanadianToken, Jan 31, 2011

    So does that mean i have to buy the calibration weight too?
     
  15. #15 Lunati, Jan 31, 2011
    No your scale will come calibrated and may even come with a weight, depends on what scale you are getting.

    looks good for weighing out personal bags as it only goes up to a hundred grams, if you were planning on weighing larger amounts you would need something a little better cause that wouldn't even be able to register a QP. But if that isn't an issue you should go for it, especially since it weighs to the hundredth. I have a touchscreen digi that weighs to the hundredth up to a half pound. Love the thing.

    I read through most of the reviews, and i'm going to need a calibrated weight to insure it's accurate. I'm going to get the 100g one, do i need the 50g also or no ?

    Only if it becomes uncalibrated, or you want to make sure that it's calibrated 100%. But for recreational use you will be fine.
