bro, i have had a couple digital scales, the cheap ones are that, they are cheap. They don't have enough accuracy in my oppion. In other words, it might read .9 grams, but it actually might be .949 grams, so you lose a half gram. The best bet and you can ask any other "science experimenter" a triple beam balance is the way to go.

Most local "tobacco" shops sell them.

Try a search on Yahoo! I am sure many online companies sell them.

I promise you bro, for 120 bucks or so about the price of an average digital scale you can get an ohaus triple beam and its a LOT better, i know from a LOT of experience with scales. If i were you i'd get the model with the dial on the front for the 1\10's like i have myself.

analog scales are better than digitals scales? what range are you measuring from and to? in what increments?

champ, i was referring to "cheap" digital scales. Sure if he spent 300 dollars or so he could get a set graduated in the hundredths of a gram, but not for a cheap price. For a "cheap" price, the triple beam balance is better, shit i'd take it anyday over a digital for measuring "powders". and its not "analog" either, its a cantilever scale. In other words for less than 200 dollars, a beam balance is far more accurate and easier to work with. Plus, it never need batteries and is not effected by moisture
