hello, i need to check my pocket scale for accuracy. Since i lost the scale calibrators (little metal weight) i figure some helpful person could help me out by compairing the weigths of american coins(quarters, nickles ect...) help please, gotta get my product out and i'm not good at eye-balling it. thanks in advance
i've found that coins aren't always exactly accurate so i will use at least 10 nickels...should be 50g
You cant use coins because I have found out that they are inaccurate because of the junk the coins collect. Use CLEAN ones if you do. - xSTEALTHx (Edited by xSTEALTHx at 10:11 am on May 12, 2003)
remeber what the weight of the original calibrator was? Lots of stores sell little boxes of weights. I've got a couple sizes, let me know what you need and maybe I can help ya.
i have one digital scale which i bought from https://www.etekcity.com/productcate/82/list . It is easy to be used
I would like to think someone actually dug thru the archives of gk to help a brother with a scale...instead of a bot selling shit. And frankly never knew about a bill, always used a nickel. How many of you guy had to replace the thing you hold with a paperclip lol
One of those little scales almost got me popped once. I was carrying a couple of pounds in a flight bag going from the big island to Oahu and stuck the bag in the scanner and when I went thru the detector the scale made it go off. I pulled it out and put it so the clear side of the case was down and went back thru. I had to clean my shorts after that. The real moral of the story though is that you used to be able to walk on a plane with a couple of pounds and get away with it.
In the good old days, scales that were checked with a nickel weren't used for weed. We had fingers... 4 was an oz.
In high school we took what we could get. If it was a 4 gram bag we never knew except it looked small. then one day I met jesus (he was a hippy, we called him jesus) and he had a tripple beam scale and a foot locker full of pot. Would sell me fat joints for $1 a piece.
I still rock ohaus triple beam, but now it's state certified lol. Got my first in Jr high, traded a ln eighth for one out of science class because I got tired of the looks from postal annex trying to buy scales lol
