Digital Scales

Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the best digital scale for weighing weed?

  For flower, a pocket scale with 0.1g resolution and at least 200g capacity is plenty. If you're also working with concentrates or want extra headroom, step up to a 0.01g scale.

• What scale do I need for dabs and concentrates?

  Concentrates require finer precision than flower. A milligram (mg) scale with 0.001g resolution is ideal for measuring dabs, distillate, and resin accurately. The Truweigh Xeno (20g × 0.001g) and Infyniti Prism (50g × 0.001g) are popular picks.

• How do I calibrate a digital scale?

  Most digital scales calibrate by powering on, holding the cal or mode button until "CAL" appears, then placing a known calibration weight (usually 100g or 200g) on the platform. The display confirms when calibration completes. Recalibrate any time you move the scale or change batteries.

• Are pocket scales accurate?

  Quality pocket scales from brands like Truweigh, My Weigh, and AWS are accurate to their stated resolution when properly calibrated and used on a flat, level surface. Cheap unbranded scales drift and skip readings — stick with the brands we carry.

• Do digital scales come with calibration weights?

  Some do, most don't. Calibration weights are sold separately for most scales. If yours didn't include one, grab the matching weight (typically 100g or 200g) so you can recalibrate periodically.

• What's the difference between a pocket scale and a milligram scale?

  Pocket scales weigh up to 500g–1000g in 0.1g or 0.01g increments — built for portability and everyday use. Milligram (mg) scales measure as fine as 0.001g but cap out around 20g–50g — built for precision over capacity.
