Best Digital Lab Scale

Bonvoisin Lab Scale

Pros

• Easy to switch between measurements
• More reliable than most scales, will last a lifetime

Cons

• Expensive

Similar to the My Weigh model but just a tad more upmarket is this lab scale. Here you get the benefits of multiple units and just overall more reliability, as you would expect from a scientific scale

Best Mechanical Weed Scale

WaShaRoom Triple Beam Scale

Pros

• Will work forever, no digital parts to fail
• Easy to use once you get the hang of it

Cons

• Only accurate to 0.1g

Speaking of scientific, let's take it all the way back to science class. Maybe that's where you got your love of, um ... chemistry.

Digital scales will all face some problem or another eventually. At the very least, they'll need to be recalibrated. This mechanical scale never will. In the year 2424, you—via a cryogenically frozen brain and a legally purchased body—will be able to weigh out your flower on this exact same scale.

Best Precision Weed Scale

American Weigh Scales GEMINI-20 Portable Digital Scale

Pros

• Incredibly accurate
• Surprisingly compact

Cons

• On the pricey side

One of the most precise scales you can choose—and if you're one for nit-picking, then in all likelihood you will choose it—the Gemini measures whatever is in its cup to .001 grams of accuracy but maxes out at 20 grams. And with the shield that flips down over the scale, even a huff of air won't disrupt the measurement of the smallest tuft of weed. Beyond the pinpoint accuracy, this scale comes with that removable cup, which can be a blessing for less dextrous fingers, and two calibration weights to keep it accurate. The longest side is five inches across, and because it's made with sturdy stainless steel, you can take it outside the house with few worries.

Best Weed Scale for Cooking

KitchenAid KQ909 Dual Platform Digital Kitchen Scale

Pros

• Two scales make it versatile
• The perfect option for cooking with cannabis

Cons

• Not really worth it unless you are cooking with cannabis

The larger scale on this dual setup holds and measures up to a whopping (relatively speaking) 11 pounds. Do you have that much weed to weigh? Seems unlikely, but we don't know you. It's the smaller scale that's perfect for weed-related tasks, as it measures in .01-gram increments; the scales can work in tandem or separately. As a package, this scale is downright handy for people who spend time in the kitchen, following recipes (THC-containing or otherwise) and taking measurements big and small. Give it a dedicated spot on the countertop.

Best Value Weed Scale

NEWACALOX 8068 Milligram Pocket Scale

Pros

• Incredibly accurate
• Pocket portable

Cons

• Display is a bit difficult to see

Let's say you're the host at a smoke-'em-if-you-got-'em party of five to ten people. (A guy can dream, right?) Unfortunately, you've only got a limited supply that requires meticulous allotment—down to the third decimal place—so every guest gets the exact same amount. (Okay, this is actually my nightmare now.) Anyway, the Newacalox 8068 can help out. It can comfortably take up to 200 grams of weed, despite being pocket portable, and yield readability to the thousandths.
