Digital Scales... Prices and Quality... Recommendations?

the american weigh scales on amazon were some of the cheapest I have seen. I have a .1 gram scale that only cost me 8 bucks. A .01 gram scale will cost like 5 bucks more

Jennings is a great, reliable brand.

amazon ftw

although my friend from china laughs at my face how my 10 dollar scale is "ridiculous overpriced"
apparently his family wholesales a few popular brands from china and they are sold at alittle over a quarter a piece.

I want to purchase a good quality scale for weighing small amounts of herb. I want an accurate scale that is easy to use and calibrate and can weigh to the nearest hundredth (.01). A lot of scales only weigh to the nearest tenth which wouldn't work if you wanted to way out say.... .15 of herb. Any information on good scales and where to buy would me much appreciated.

I paid $25 for a .1g scale in a San Diego headshop, but you can thank Max for this link to a $30 .01g scale Jennings JS-50XV

Even comes with a 50g calibration weight & vibration killing mat

Only thing I dont know is shipping, hope they don't gouge you there..

you could build a small balance scale as accurately as needed, as long as you don't need to also weigh larger amounts with it.

Thanks for the link Haze. The Jennings looks like a good posibility ....

Thanks for the link.... Looks like an 8th grade science project LOL.... Probably to complexed and beyond my capabilities.....

I use the
American Weight

scales. Easy to use and find online.

^^ That's were I bought my scale. They have a GREAT selection and their prices are right too.

Thanks everyone! I bought a Jennings scale from www.oldwillknotscales.com.it comes with a 50 g calibration weight and weighs to the nearest .01. Should work fine for my needs. Great website super easy to order......

I've had my Jennings scale almost 7 years now, and it's still going strong.

No love for American Weight? Just a couple quarters over $10 shipped! I own one of their .1 scales and it's been very reliable in my experience. That scale I linked is the same one that my collective of choice uses, and it hasn't been off yet

No Love, I bought an American Weigh scale off Amazon, and got cheap plastic chinese DOA crap.

For the same price I'm going to give the My Weigh Palmscale a shot, hoping for a better experience:

I got my 0.01g scale from a local tobacconist for $60.
A bit pricey, but its still running strong after a few years.

I also got a 0.001g scale from amazon for like $25, but its pretty fiddly, so I don't use it too often.

Also good experience with Jennings.
