Use money. Coins. You can get their exact weights by searching google.

Probably need to recalibrate it man.

yea definitely as house says, always make sure you are calibrated, wouldn't want to take something more than its weight. Smile

Those pills have binders and things in them besides the active ingredient that's why the weights of those are different then the mg count on the bottle.

but it looks like its pretty close... im trying to avoid getting a different one i think.

i think il keep this one..

is it ok to add a coin to the scale first and then add your chemical and see how much it goes up? that may help be more accurate at low weight??

It's close enough. And yes just add a nickel and then add your chemical.

:idea: when weighing less than 100 milligrammes take the object on and off the plate for it to register correctly, sometimes if you add to the plate, it doesn't register. :idea:

Yes, these scales are not very good for very small weights. You need one with a starting weight, one with a spoon you can fill with stuff.
