Cheap scale, anyone know a good way to test it?

[radplane]

I ordered a $7 scale (300 grams max, 0.1 gram measure) for measuring the bags I buy. Anyways, anyone know a good way to make sure it works properly? I dont have any calibration weights or anything

Thanks

Get some weed from someone and measure it. Look at it this way. At least you got something to smoke and toke homie.

If you're in USA then a nickle is 5.0 grams give or take .2. You can callibrate it with 20 nickles if you need a 100 g weight.

For better calibration 2 test weights would probably be better..whats a nickel weigh? 5 grams?

Yes this is the easiest and most convenient way to calibrate either your finger or digital scale

A nickel should weigh 5 grams, hence the name

Got a link to where I could order a 7$ scale?

The name comes from the fact that it's made of nickel, the metal alloy.

I know different coins can sometimes weigh different amounts depending on the year that it was made and what it was actually made from. Just get a calibration weight instead. you can buy them at like ebay.com or a site like scaleforweed.com

this.. try weighing a bunch of nickels. there is gonna be a variance. a calibration weight is the way to go.

5 year old thread, but this is the info that counts, the info posted today.. not all nickels weigh the same. use a calibration weight instead. it's cheap as fuck, and it's accurate..
