I'm going to be dosing out some capsules and was wondering what the best tools are to make my life easier.
Whats a good scale to buy? Is one of those cheap ones off ebay ok or is there a better option?
This is mainly going to be for MDMA and different RCs and is just for personal use not distributing.
thanks for any tips :)

I've got two, both of which I ordered from overseas because I'm "extremely cautious," and heard once upon a time that eBay and Amazon have interfaces for law enforcement to perform searches for things like digital milligram scales. And let's be honest, who except dealers and jewelers really even has a use for digital scales -- and the jewelers are going to invest in a high quality one.
A lot of people seem to order them just fine though, so it's probably fine. My milligram one is accurate to within 3-5mg and was about $20 (advertised as 0.001 precision). Works like a charm and has for a couple months now. The other one is accurate to within 15-20mg (0.01 precision); that one was about $30. Honestly for the prices I expected them to be junk and fall apart after a week, particularly the cheaper more sensitive one. Not so at all -- they're worth at least twice what I paid, and Amazon had what looked like the same scales for sale at the time. Presumably they'll also do well for you.
I'd give you models and stuff, but... there is no model, lol. Just generic digital scales that say "mini digital scale" and nothing else. So anyway, long story short: you'd be surprised how well some of the super cheap ones work. Take a chance on one.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i think i'm just going to get a cheap 20$ one.

There are all kinds of good scales on the market. The scale is really not the difficult part of the encapsulation process. Making capsules is a very frustrating and time consuming process. There are different types of encapsulation machines on the market. They all look simple in the videos, but in reality it takes a long time to get good at it. Having a good work station table is essential. Just take your time and don't get frustrated. The more you do, the easier it will get.

Check out the http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Gemini-20-Portable-Milligram/dp/B0012TDNAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365239143&sr=8-1&keywords=mg+scale this is a great scale that nootropics, RC, and supplement enthusiasts recommend. I've been using it for several months and it's great. Also the $6 scale from ebay is great for things that don't require the accuracy. Cap-m-quik and the capsule machine are two of the common machines to help hold your empty caps while you make them. I use 2 glossy business cards have have been folded in half lengthwise to help as scoops/funnels while I'm making caps. It can be time consuming. I' averaging about 50 caps an hour.
