Digital Scales

As the popularity of legal herb skyrockets, so do the accessories. And whether you are splitting an ounce with a friend or measuring how much legal herb you have, a digital precision scale is a must.

What is a Digital Scale?

Digital herb scales are typically used to measure the weight of legal herb buds or concentrates. While recreational smokers use them to see how much herb they have, they are also used by professional budtenders to measure products.

herb scales come in various forms, including digital pocket and mechanical scales. Digital scales are more commonly used today due to their precision and ease of use. They usually have a digital display that shows the weight in grams, ounces, or other units of measurement.

You can also use them to keep track of your stash and assess your levels of consumption. With a weighing scale, you'll always know precisely how much legal herb you are buying and how much you have on hand. Your herb scale can also double up as a digital kitchen scale or jewelry scale!

Types of Digital Scales

Pocket Scales

These are compact and portable scales designed for easy transport. They are small enough to fit in a pocket or bag, making them convenient for on-the-go use. Pocket herb scales like the Truweigh Gauge Digital Mini Scale are popular for their compact size and portability but may be less accurate and have fewer features than a tabletop scale.

Tabletop Scales

Tabletop scales like this one are larger, often with a higher weight capacity and additional features than a pocket scale. They are designed to be placed on a stable surface, such as a table or countertop. These scales often have a higher weight capacity and are suitable for measuring more significant quantities of legal herb. They may also have additional features like a larger display, advanced weighing modes, and built-in calibration functions.

Concentrate Scales

Concentrate scales, also known as dab scales or oil scales, like the Pro Scale Slick, are specially designed for legal herb concentrates and often include a dab tool and silicone mat for convenience. legal herb concentrates are highly potent forms of legal herb that are extracted from the plant material, such as oils, waxes, shatter, or budder. These concentrates are typically consumed through vaporization or dabbing.

What to Look For in a Digital Scale

When looking for a herb scale, several key factors must be considered to ensure you choose a scale that meets your needs. Here are some essential features to look for:

Accuracy: Accuracy is crucial when it comes to weighing legal herb. Look for a scale that provides precise measurements to the decimal point. Higher precision scales are generally more reliable for obtaining accurate weights.

Weight Capacity: Consider the scale's weight capacity and ensure it suits your intended use. If you plan to weigh larger quantities of legal herb, opt for a scale with a higher weight capacity.

Units of Measurement: Check if the scale offers multiple units of measurement, such as grams, ounces, or pounds. This allows you to use the most convenient unit or switch between units when needed.

Display: Look for a good scale with a clear readability display. An LCD backlit display is beneficial in low-light conditions. Ensure the display is large enough to view the weight readings without straining.

Tare Function: The tare function allows you to zero out the weight of the container or dish used to hold your legal herb. This ensures that only the weight of the legal herb itself is measured, making it easier to accurately portion out your product.

Calibration: Some weight scales offer calibration options, allowing you to adjust or calibrate the scale for accurate readings. This feature is especially useful for maintaining the scale's accuracy over time.

Power Source: Consider the power source of the scale. Battery-powered scales offer portability and convenience, while scales that require an electrical outlet may provide a constant power source but limit mobility.

Durability and Build Quality: Look for a durable scale built to withstand regular use. Quality materials and construction ensure longevity and reliability.

Portability: If you need a scale that can be easily carried around, consider its size, weight, and portability features. Pocket-sized scales are ideal for on-the-go use, while larger tabletop scales may be more suitable for stationary settings.

Price: While it's crucial to find a scale that fits your budget, prioritize high precision and reliability over low cost.

How to Use a Digital Scale

Using a herb scale is a straightforward process. Here are the general steps to follow:

Set up the Scale: Find a stable and level surface to place the scale. Ensure the scale is free from any objects interfering with accurate measurements.
Power On: If your scale is battery-powered, turn it on using the designated power button. If it requires an electrical outlet, plug it in and switch it on.
Calibration (if necessary): Some scales may require calibration to ensure accurate readings. Check the manufacturer's instructions to see if calibration is needed and follow the specific steps provided. Calibration typically involves using a known weight, such as a calibration weight, to calibrate the scale to zero.
Tare the Scale: If you plan to weigh your legal herb in a container, place the empty container on the scale and press the "Tare" or "Zero" button. This will reset the scale to zero, subtracting the weight of the container from the final measurement.
Place the legal herb on the Scale: Carefully place your legal herb on the scale, ensuring it is centered and not touching any other objects. Avoid touching the scale or legal herb while the measurement is taken to prevent inaccuracies.
Read the Measurement: The scale will display the weight of your legal herb on its screen. Read the measurement carefully, noting the units (grams, ounces, etc.) used by the scale.
