Digital Scales
Digital scales are precision weighing tools for herbs, concentrates, gems, and any material where a tenth — or hundredth — of a gram matters. Azarius has been shipping scales since 1999, and we carry 25+ models from pocket-sized 0.01g readers to 2kg tabletop workhorses. Buy a scale that matches your actual use case, not the biggest number on the box. Free shipping across the EU.

Digital Scales — Buying Guide for Herbs, Concentrates & More
A digital scale is only as good as the match between its capacity and its resolution. Buy one with too much capacity and you lose precision; buy one too small and you'll overload it on the first weigh. Below is how the main formats break down, so you can shop for the right tool on the first go.
| Format | Typical capacity | Resolution | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milligram pocket | 20–50g | 0.001g | Microdosing, research chemicals, extract portioning |
| Hundredth-gram pocket | 100–500g | 0.01g | Herbs, concentrates, gems — the everyday buy |
| Tenth-gram pocket | 200–600g | 0.1g | Bulk herb, postal weighing, first-time buyers |
| Tabletop bench | 2,000–2,500g | 0.1–0.5g | Large batches, inventory counting, kitchen use |
| Kit (scale + accessories) | 100g | 0.01g | Concentrate users who want dab tools + containers in one order |
Most people order the wrong thing the first time. They grab a 500g/0.01g scale when they really need a 100g/0.01g — or they get a 0.1g reader and then wish they had two decimals for dabs. Match the resolution to your smallest typical weight, not your largest.
What We Carry
- Pocket scales (0.01g) — the bulk of our range. The On Balance Myco, Joshs Z 200, Dipse AN 300, and Proscale Snake-eyes all read to a hundredth of a gram with 100–300g capacity. Shop this tier if you're weighing herb, hash, or gems.
- Milligram scales (0.001g) — the Fuzion Sustainable Scale reads down to a thousandth of a gram with 20g capacity. Get one if you work with concentrates, extracts, or research compounds where 10mg matters.
- Tabletop scales — the MyWeigh i2500, Dipse 2000, and KB-2000 handle up to 2–2.5kg at 0.1–0.5g steps. Buy these for large batches or if you'd rather not squint at a pocket display.
- Rugged & waterproof — the Tuff-Weigh survives drops that finish cheaper scales, and the On Balance MAR-100 has IP-65 dust/water protection. You can rinse it under the tap.
- Scales with bowls — the On Balance SBS and SBM-100 include collapsible silicone bowls that peel clean of sticky concentrates, then fold back into a protective case.
- Sustainable builds — the DIPSE Sustainable Scale and Fuzion Sustainable Scale are housed in wheat straw fibre and biodegradable shells. Same precision, less plastic.
- Designer & novelty — The Shine Chrome Gold Mini is a full chrome-dipped mirror finish, three years in development. Order it if you want the scale to look as good as it reads.
- Calibration weights & accessories — stainless steel calibration weights from 1g to 500g, plus weighing cup sets for loose material. Shop these alongside any scale that doesn't auto-calibrate.
How to Choose Your Digital Scale
Start with the smallest amount you'll ever weigh, then pick the resolution that shows it clearly. Weighing 0.3g of hash on a 0.1g scale means the reading can be anywhere from 0.25–0.34g — that's a 40% margin of error. A 0.01g scale cuts that to 3%. For most people buying their first precision scale, a 100g/0.01g pocket model like the On Balance Myco or Dipse 420 is the sweet spot: enough capacity for any sensible portion, enough precision to actually trust the number.
If you work with concentrates or microdose, step up to a milligram scale — the Fuzion Sustainable reads to 0.001g, which is the only way to portion 5mg or 10mg doses with honesty. If you're weighing larger batches, skip the pocket scales entirely and get the Dipse 2000 or KB-2000 tabletop. And if you've dropped scales before, just buy the Tuff-Weigh. The rubberised corners pay for themselves the first time it hits the kitchen floor.
When in doubt, order the On Balance Myco 100g/0.01g — it's the scale we'd recommend to a friend who asked us once and didn't want to think about it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best digital scale for weighing herb?
For most users, a 100g/0.01g pocket scale hits the right balance. The On Balance Myco, Dipse 420, and Joshs Z 200 all read to a hundredth of a gram with enough capacity for any sensible portion. If you weigh larger amounts regularly, the Dipse 2000 handles up to 2kg at 0.1g steps.
How do I calibrate a digital scale?
Most scales need a stainless steel calibration weight matching a specific value — usually 50g, 100g, or 200g, listed in your manual. Place the weight on a level surface, enter calibration mode (often by holding the mode button), and the scale adjusts itself. We stock calibration weights from 1g to 500g.
Do I need a 0.001g scale or is 0.01g enough?
0.01g is enough for herb, hash, and gems. Buy a 0.001g milligram scale like the Fuzion Sustainable only if you're portioning concentrates, microdosing, or working with amounts under 100mg where every milligram counts.
Can I use a digital scale for postal weighing?
Yes, but check the capacity. Most pocket scales top out at 100–300g, fine for letters and small parcels. For larger packages up to 2kg, order a tabletop scale like the MyWeigh i2500 or KB-2000.
Why is my digital scale reading inconsistently?
Three usual causes: an uneven surface, low batteries, or drift from being moved. Place the scale on a hard flat surface, fit fresh batteries, and recalibrate with a proper calibration weight. If it still jumps around, the load cell may be damaged — usually from an overload or a drop.
