so yea I just bought an ounce and I was going to take pics and weight it out..but I uncalibrated my scale by accident, and now when I weight like a .2 it will say 1g or something...
How do I fix that up? Reading the user's manual I figured out I have to put something that weights 100g on it to calibrate. But how am I supposed to find something like that without a scale?!
1mL of water = 1g
Do you have a way to accurately measure out 99mL into a WATERTIGHT zip-lock baggie?
That will come very very close.
Or find a friend with a scale and use that one to measure out 100g of pennies or something, and keep them in a baggie so you always have them around.
Didn't your scale come with a calibration weight?
lol I was just thinking that at Staples they might have postal scales on display and you can take your baggie of pennies there to weigh it in the store... like a crazy person... hahahaha
Wish i could help my scale says error everytime I turn it on... no idea

As for the 99ml thing I don't think I could do that, but even if, wouldnt it be kinda inaccurate(sp?)?
Ohhh guys nevermind, I went to look in my bro's room, his scale box was not there..but on the way out there's a big bookshelf and it was there on some books. I have a 100g calibration weight. Thank god.

shitty store brands weigh .9

Well, make a thread!
It asks for a 100g calibration weight, which is how much a cd weighs =)

Yeah, for future reference, US pennies weigh exactly 2.5g, while US nickels weigh exactly 5g (they have to be regulated so that vending machines, etc. can tell what coins they are).
Of course, a real scale weight works too...
