Ask them to supply a calibration weight as well - that'll cost about as much!

No they weigh in gm to 0.01 of a gram. Also in carats and pennyweights!

I was hinting towards other uses, typically herbal or resin based. Wink

Great accuracy though, mine only go to 0.1g, although normally thats enough, I just make up more if the weights are too small to measure accurately.

Ahh. I see where you're coming from. Resin sausages.

Fluxite? Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

I was suggesting it looked like something a drug dealer may use to weight out 1/8's or 1/4's of herbal or resin based pot.

I'm fairly sure that is the market they are aimed at.
