Why dont you get some miniature measuring spoons. I use a 'pinch' i believe it is 1/8 of a tsp (i think?) And that measures approx 0.05 ... sorry i dont do photos.

For scales I like to shop at Old Will Knott Scales. They specialize in scales so they know their shit. Great service and they will consult with you over the phone.

Does anyone accidentally slip up on their microdosing regimen? My usage has crept back up and then yesterday I took about 6 dabs and a few bigger than I should've taken oil pen hits haha.
What I've realized tho is even with the higher usage, microdosing is really becoming a mentality for me where it's more so about looking for the positive effects at the lowest doses vs. Vaping till I feel high all day. Like yesterday, my favorite parts of the day wasn't ripping dabs and feeling immersed in waves of thc, it was more so the calm that came afterwards as the "rush" subsided and I just rode the wave. It kept me using less out of the pure fact that I wasn't looking to get high, just to get the benefits I want, and for the most part I had those. The only thing I'm trying to get better self control over now is the act of vaping. I loooooove hitting all my different tools and strains etc.

I think a really big part of a successful microdosing regimen is summed up with this statement.
Targeting needed benefits vs. getting ripped. If the goal is getting ripped, microdosing would rarely (if ever) satisfy.

This is similar to how I'll start a busy day to medicate some of the more debilitating and distracting symptoms I can get during the day. I find I don't need to have another small bowl like this until I've finished working for the day, sometimes I might go ahead and have another .1g bowl in the late afternoon.Here is a good review of microdosing: https://www.learngreenflower.com/articles/146/the-art-and-science-of-cannabis-microdosing

I find this rounds my mood out nicely.
Another point I'll raise is that vaping flower is not the only way to microdose. Rosin squishers should try and squish their tiny .1g flower and take a small dab instead! I do find less fogginess from dabs than flowers. Dabs seem to have a clarity that flowers do not (I'm talking about an all-things-being-equal situation where we are using the same material for dabbing and vaping).
With this being said, in the evening it is another story. I'll dab as much beautiful solventless resin as I need to to slow my mind down and prevent my monstrous insomnia! This might mean 5 or 6 .05g dabs in an evening - but that's quite alright and I'd pay that money many times over to have sleep when I need it!

I totally agree! I used to not like how high dabs would get me but I've started taking dabs that I would guess amount to about .005 grams of rosin. They get me nice and medicated without feeling too many negative side effects and not too drowsy afterwards.
As far as the lack of drowsiness from dabs I think I've started to have the suspicion that the drowsiness may come partially from the terpine content. Even if I put rosin in my MFLB I get less drowsy and if I use bubble hash or bho as compared to rosin I get even less drowsy. My suspicion is that its in part due to the lower terpine content. It would be interesting to try a comparison of BHO and live resin of the same strain as I believe they are very similar besides the terpine content

Been "microdosing" with my Milaana. Where 2-3 bowls back in the day of the nano would get me to a pretty damn decent level, i can get the same now with about a .04. not sure if that's considered microdosing for some of you, but i've made 2.5 grams last me almost 30 days now, and it's still going. 2.5 grams used to last me less than a week. I vape every day, 1-3 times a day.
Overall, herb is more satisfying, i don't crave in the slightest, I wake up easier, I handle my adhd and anxiety better....it's just better. Smaller doses gives you a precise measurement of the effects you are trying to obtain. The high is much clearer, easier to feel....man it really is just amazing recently being on this path of small doses. Loving it!

Just thought I'd check in and say I'd never thought microdosing with dabs would be enjoyable or really work, but I think I've really gotten it down and there's actually some real benefits with micro dosing dabs!
I use a domeless quartz banger that I try and get as low temp as I can, and what I've found is 1. You either are left with a pool of wasted rosin, in my case, or you have to dab it too hot and get a harsher dab. Well with smaller dabs you can avoid that problem. I've been taking dabs that I would guess by eyeballing are anywhere in the 3-20mg range depending on what I'm feeling and all I can say is its fucking amazing! This has definitely tho made me realize I reeeally need a better scale...

That sounds pretty sick honestly. I've seen a couple of them around but I live in Seattle and the rec shops have recently been selling extremely simplistic pens that take a bho or CO2 oil cartridge that is extremely easy to use and works very very well for small or large hits. The best part is the battery lasts fooooorever. I would guess I could get 50-100 solid hits from a single charge and for micro dosing I've gotten my hit size recordable by counting the seconds that I pull since it has a restricted draw that is pretty consistent on hit flow

Day Tripper
I've been micro dosing for years. My only complaint is that my first use of the day is great, it's so noticeable and I feel the high. However, every use after that doesn't give me much of a perceptible change even if there are several hours in between. there are occasions when I use more for the first use simply to have the effects last longer but there are limits to how long I feel high regardless. It makes it hard to maintain an even feeling throughout the day

Scales?
Try this millagram scale, I really like mine. Only negative, its hard to measure large amounts with the design (I use a jyarz glass core which has to be placed perfectly on the metal dish but works in a pinch for large amounts).
Works really well for small amounts, comes with a calibration weight and one reviewer tested against a multi thousand dollard laboratory milligram scale-it preformed very close.
https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM
I bought it years ago because I wanted to know who much my usually solo dose weighed and a regular scale wouldnt do it. Turns out I used about .040g to get high (basically a thin layer in the solo stem).

I know I posted this before, and it is a bit more money, but this milligram precision scale is rock solid and I am very happy with it.

I can totally relate with this. For me for the most part, 1. I like being stoned in the morning more so anyways and micro dosing keeps me from being exhausted all day haha and 2. I've learned to shoot more so for effects than for the feeling. I like how a barely perceptible buzz makes me more calm and comfortable with my thoughts. I see it as a medical like use and prefer for the most part that I don't "feel" high as feeling high 1. Is inevitably pretty exhausting at least for me and it just doesn't seem too feasible for me to be truly feeling high for more than a part of a day regularly because if you felt that way all day it would just become your new baseline

it takes @ 0.15 to fill my oven with fine grind/tight pack. Fine grind is all i do. I'm making 1 load last around 2 days, or 0.075/day. Thats 2 sessions / day @ 0.025 - 0.05 per sesh depending on circumstances.
Anyway I'm @ 2.2G/month.. give or take of course. Then figure in my occasional AVB blends and the number goes down to maybe 1.8G/m.
Back in the mid 2000's i only burned 1 hit a day and that went on for years. Tolerance has gone up since then. Went from 0.6G/month to 1.8G/m in 10 yrs. I could return to @<1G/month on vaping, but what fun is that, i like the flavor too much. And in order for it to be an effective muscle relaxant i need more than a little 0.009 hit. I've got no motivation to improve on my current 3.5 G's per 2 months, my usage has already been cut in half just by switching from smoking to vaping.
To the guy with the Firefly taking 10 days to finish 0.12, wow...
yeah i consider it microdosing. some people i know smoke truckloads of weed per day and im like, dude..

Herb: best aphrodisiac and stereo tweak on Earth
At $10/g, doses of .01-.025 g cost 10¢-25¢. That's per dose, not hit.
Compare that to the effects you get from 25¢ of alcohol, prescription meds or any other drug.
MJ is not only preferable for most folks (here, anyway), but quite a bargain.

Within the Micro-dosing community I'm a heavy hitter, lol. I ration myself @ <1g/week bud on average. Often I come in under a gram per week. But I have a whole host of issues that are helped by the devils weed. When PTSD, TBI, and chronic pain all act up at once my use does go up. I then tap into my surplus from previous weeks.
I am in a medical state with basically unlimited free meds so my interest is purely in dosing with the best medical effect as possible. Cost and fear of "the man" don't factor in.
I know aspie and seizure folks that use as much in a day as I do in a month. You do what you gotta do. But without specify contraindications micro (medical) use should at least by tried out in my opinion.

I have noticed that my dosage requirements change with my health. Some of the chemo/imunno therapies I have underwent increased my need by quite a lot. In fact because of a chemo drug I was taking, I broke out in a full body, bleeding, stinging rash that almost killed me. All my hair follicles were exploding. Other drugs have put me in the ER multiple times which almost got my gallbladder removed unnecessarily. Pain and nausea fluctuate and move so those needs vary as well.
Interestingly enough, as I am between immuno meds right now, with Cosentyx probably my next move, my need is lower and I am having great results with the DynaVap. Small bowl with deep, complete extraction, which provides a great vap signature while being very efficient. So I'm going through a lot less material right now which is nice.

I made a quarter last me all month since getting my log vape. I don't always do tiny tiny hits, but like you guys have said it's about being mindful of what I'm doing and what effects I'm after. I think I'll start re vaping my snuff with a tiny touch of fresh at the end of the night since I'm just trying to pass out, anyway. Most recently I was using twice as much per month. And that was still with a vape.
Years ago when I first started vaping with a SBC, I was going through a quarter ever single week! My friend described me as the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland lol

Herb gardener...
Microdosing with my eq was easy, 0.03 in a basket, twice a night, would do me....
I know that's no where near the levels of dosing going on here, but still, good for a man with unlimited flowers....
Now I have an evo, consumption has soared... I haven't been counting weight, but 3 or 4 elb's a night is common, mainly 2 though.... but the load is larger...
Maybe it's just because it's all new, maybe when the evo novelty wears off, I will calm down...
Does anyone else struggle to keep to a low dose when they have a new toy to play with..... vas is the microdose enemy...

Yeah a new toy definitely has me playing more. Once the novelty wears off with a new vape you, I mellow my consumption down again.
