so this was unnecessary. However
*********WHY I PURCHASED THIS SCALE***********
I purchased this scale so I could weight out various Nootropics supplements down to double digit MG. Here is a breakdown of what I needed to weigh and how much of each. I filled #00 gelcaps, for the most part, with the following, using the scale to weigh:
12.5MG of Tianeptine Sodium
300MG Adrafinil Powder
400MG Panax Ginseng Leaf Extract (42+% Gensenosides)
600MG Green Tea Extract (50% EGCG, 98% Polyphenols, PE)
1000MG Choline L-Bitartrate
600MG Phenibut HCL
These are all part of the current Nootropics stack I'm trying, and in particular, I was unable to weigh out anything under 1g accurately with the scale I had. So, I purchased this scale to accurately weight 1mg - 1000mg accurately.
***********PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY**************
This scale comes with 2 x 10g weights, which are both needed to calibrate the scale. My scale arrived perfectly calibrated, so this was unnecessary. However, at some point I will definitely need to calibrate it since all scales require service at some point, so having the price instruments needed to calibrate is very nice. The scale also came with a nice metal tray for weighing small powders, salts, and supplements out. I found it very convenient. Residue has a tendency to stick to it, but that not the tray's fault.
The scan performed with STELLAR accuracy. I opened a couple preweighed gelcaps with ~20-200mg and was able to get an accurate reading down to the mg ever time. It was always spot on.
Always make sure you scan is on a perfectly LEVEL, FLAT SURFACE. I can't stress this enough. At first my readings were slightly off, even though the scan was on a flat desk that should have been level. Come to find out the floor was off a couple degrees. When relocating to another surface that was flat AND level (on a level floor) I go consistent, perfect readings.
*************Conclusion****************
Overall, I'm extremely happy with this scale. I was a bit upset because I selected Saturday delivery, when ordering it on a friday (I needed it ASAP. When the mail came on Saturday and their was no package, I went back to look at the order and the fee for saturday delivery was no where to be found. This is the second time Amazon ignored the fact that saturday delivery was selected (and both times my total had the $8.99 added which I placed the order, and both times the confirmation email had free shipping selected.......) I did, however, receive it the following monday, which is the next business day. The fact that the scale comes with 2 x 10g weights for calibration, a metal tray for weighing powders, as well as some nice tweezers, I think it's well worth the price. I'm very happy and feel I go exactly what I ordered.
