Does anyone have any experience with these scales?

i'm looking to invest in a scale. the current site that i think i'm going to buy from is www.oldwillknottscales.com. my first question is does anyone have any experience with that site? if not, please list the site that you used . from browsing said site, my main choices are the Proscale CC-300 and the Proscale LC300. if anyone has any experience with those... do tell. if you don't use those, and your scale was in the $15-$25 price range, let me know what it's called.

:cheers2:

 

15-25 bucks, you get what you pay for scales wise. whatever it is, it'll weigh a sack

 

yeah those two are like 20.

i'm not looking to do extremely precise measurments, but this summer when i'm buying halves and what not i want my full 14 grams and not some shitty little 12 gram deal.

 

get some cheap, 1.99 postage scales or spend 20 bucks on an okay set of digis... what the scales read will then depend on your source

 

I've just finally found a good scale that doesn't look like a 'crack scale'. With this scale, you can have it just sitting in your kitchen on the counter top and it weighs 8ths, 4ths, halves, and 'z' perfectly.. It will also weigh up to three elbows so it says. I only needed it to weigh z's and maybe a pound but that's about it, and this is perfect. I have the blue on to match my kitchen and it's really nice looking and looks innocent ( like me)

I used to have:
http://www.scaleshack.com/View.php?SerialNum=SC-HT-S209

It worked pretty well, started up fast, easy to use, no gimmicks. I stopped chopping so I sold it to my friend and it's still working for him. Although I bought mine at a headshop...that site is kind of sketchy.

 

Go to a headshop or something and by a nice $20 - $25 scale

If your paying $15 for a scale it's not going to be very good. The scale I have looks like a cd case and you can even put your own cd cover in it so it looks real.

 

Oldwillknott scales is totally reliable, and I know of multiple members who have ordered scales from there no problem.

I would say buy the lc300 since it uses AAA batteries as compared to more expensive lithium ones. Definitely worth the 20$ it costs.

 

Not the truth I have a 13$ scale that measures to .01 and it is still going strong. Very reliable in measurements and also quite sturdy. I am not a fan of the cd case scales however as imo they get fucked up too easily (very easy to apply too much force to it and break the weigh tray).

 

i had an american weigh scale for three years that i bought at a headshop for like 40 bucks. (years later it only cost like $25) it was nothing fancy though and weighed to 0.1g. i always thought it'd be cool to have one that was .01. those scales from the first site look pretty legit. i've never bought anything though... but i'd go for it.

my american weigh is still working, the side "blade" like the LCD display pops in and out - that's broken, it doesn't pop in anymore

but it weighs perfect

a nickel is 5g
an american $20 is 1g

it had a big plastic cover that when you flipped it over, was a removable weigh tray. i'd say look for something like that - real convenient. if the scale can weigh 555 g but can only fit 10 g on the weigh tray, what's the point?

 

I got a 666 Satan Scale or some shit like that for about 20$.
It was great, until one day. I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on. It just broke for no reason, and I hadn't dropped it or anything, it had just been standing on a shelf for a week or so. I guess it wasn't the best scale on the market

 

yea i dropped mine plenty of times.

 

Easy, so you can put a larger container on it, and zero it out, then put the thing you are weighing in. Same idea behind a weigh tray.

 

exactly what i needed to hear.

looks like i'm using that site and buying that scale. i wanted to get one that goes to .01 but they're like double the price so fuck that.

would you happen to know if it comes in descrete packaging? i'm planning on intercepting this before my parents can find it but... just in case...

 

Ebay... cheap shit.. that jewelry scale they have on sale at the moment that they normally sell for $80~.. is only like $30 on ebay.. exact same scale

 

did you check the batteries?

 

yeah, the thing just stopped working for no reason

 

I had a ProScale 222 and it worked well for a while. Then one day the batteries died so I went out and spent a good bit of cash for two lithium batteries. A few days later and it won't turn on again so I'm assuming it's broken. I bought a $30 scale at a headshop and it only measures down to one decimal, it gets the job done and is reliable.

Save a little cash and get a quality scale. You'll never know when you need to push a few ounces.

 

yeah..I'm not going to invest in a proscale again. Plus the batteries cost like 5 bucks a piece..and you need two
