Scales questions

[Sgrbr420]

 Been researching mg scales and interested if anyone has any experience finding one for sale in person that is decent.  I know the aws gemini 20 is the standard for affordable mg scales but I only found other Chinese brand at my local vape/glass shop. Any idea how off these are?  Don't really want to order the aws online but feeling like that is best

I would personally only go with the AWS gem20 and not knockoffs.  And if you haven't, read up on how to use them properly!

Thanks, I will order the aws unit.

In terms of use, from what I understand the key is to add a calibration weight, tray, then capsule or other carrier, then the actives, calculating the active weight as the delta increase on last step. (i.e. not taring in between)

Is that pretty much the gist?

A scale is not something you should buy at a headshop, most of the time they are junk. Spend the extra few bucks to get a reliable scale. Its should come with instructions, make sure you read them thoroughly amd you should be gtg

@Sgrbr420 yes, turn on and wait 45ish seconds then calibrate, then add tray or calibration weight and don't tare.  Always on level surface and no wind/breeze etc, and always make solutions for things active in micrograms...  Psychonaut guide: Dosage Measurement
