Best Scale to Buy for 1mg Measurements?

[integral]

Im having issues with buying the right Scale to measure out substances less then 3 mg. 

Do you have any company recommendations? Something reliable + built well?

The best scale is a microscoop

How does a microscoop measure milligrams though lol, each substance has its own density

Do you just measure everything in terms of this one sacred microscoop

This is the density of malt 1.1±0.1 g/cm3 and this is the density of 5meo 1.1±0.1 g/cm3

Which means a microscoop works perfectly. You'll be having a tiny bit more than what you would expect but totally negligible

I bougth this ones:

The mg are the range for different densities but I assume the lowest is the equivalent ml to mg and the one most similar do the 5meos.

@Davino The issue with that is I need alot less then <10mg scoops that doent exist.

I guess i can scoop 10 mg then cut it in 4 to get 2.5mg dosages.

@thenondualtankie exactly, measure everything in scoops. That’s the way. If you want to figure out how much is in one scoop then scoop 10 scoops on a scale and divide the result by ten. You will get a close estimate of how much substance each scoop holds. Scoops are very accurate, more accurate than milligram scales if you measure a few scoops, because the errors cancel out.

Potent substances are usually orally available, so with them you can weigh a few scoops, dissolve in water and measure ccs of water.

For less than 3 mg the only sensible solution is to dissolve a bigger amount of the substance and soak a paper analogous to LSD blotters. Or, just consume the liquid.

Unless you are running a science lab you just don't need that level of percision for tripping. +/- 5mg will not make a big difference once you're used to tripping.

If I accidentally take 5mg more of 5-MeO-DMT nothing bad will happen.

Exactly.

I can say from experience that +-3 mg on 5 meo dmt low dose doesn't matter. I always use microscoops (3 mg cups, which are 1,5 mg 5 meo)

The best scale is titration, dissolve .25g in 10ml and now each ml is 25mg.

mm and how do I know how much do I have to fill the microscoop? Depending how much I fill the scoop it can go from 5gm to 30mg.

It would be good to have an augmented photo and what the vendor considers a scoop filled.

I mean like in lab class. It's up to a horizontal line of the scoop not more not less.
