What ml scales would you recommend?

I've seen a few ml scales on ebay for $13-16 which I'm extremely doubtful about buying because they're unbranded, sellers have negative reviews about arriving broken/used when supposed to be new. I don't want to spend 24-30 dollars so do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks

Yeah I guess I should just cough up the dough and just get the good stuff. Quality is very important and I wouldn't want to weigh out a wrong dosage of those my magic cyrstals

Of course. Good job on being careful with dosing.
I wasn't so smart about it with some RC's about a year ago and that shit nearly killed me. Would you like any suggestions on some scales that I think are worth the money and not overly expensive?

ive been buying AWS scales for 10 years now....every other brand has broken or been lost etc...
i have had the AWS mg scale just over 2 years and its still reading right on (using calibration weights to test)
i have had 2 AWS blade scales, the only reason i bought the second one was because the first was confiscated. my blade i have now is 6 years old and still reading fine, even up to 500g 
i will only buy AWS i think

Welp you sir have just reassured me that I'm definitely getting my moneys worth. The scale itself looks professional I wouldn't want to be seen with scale that doesn't even have a brand name to back it up, I believe the one I got also comes with a 10 year warranty
And I love you name!!

gemini 20 is best bang per buck I've owned several
As said, I don't really trust it under 15mg. I'd guess it's accurate to +/- 2mg in the high teens up

I use the same, I wouldn't trust it for really small amounts either. If you do have something that's really small i'd measure out maybe 5-10 doses and make it into a 1mg:1ml solution and use a 10cc syringe or something to dose it out.

actually this is a mL scale

One-piece design. Multiple weight units. Our scale focuses on usability and ease of operation. The one-piece design is sleek and exceptionally lightweight, making it natural to move around the kitchen. The pressure sensors that serve as the collective weighing system are loaded into the four rubberized stability feet for accuracy and seamless looks. This gives you precise readings of ounces, milliliters, pounds:ounces, and grams at the press of a button. Due to the sensitivity of the sensors, waiting a second after pressing any buttons will achieve a more perfect reading.

Amazon sometimes is horrible at descriptions when a 3rd party is describing the item.
I would think, especially for something meant to be used in the kitchen/cooking, that it would have to be something that's able to measure the amount of liquids of all different viscosities. Which isn't the case with this one.

Well, you can't. Right?
I'm getting too stoned and confused for this. An ML is a unit of volume, not weight I think. So if I'm right then it's impossible to weigh in ML's (on scale at least).

Much of the metric system is based on the properties of water. One ml of water weighs one gram (a liter of water weighs a kilo - at a standard temperature. One calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.

Interesting...  I was just making some assumptions based on something I don't have much knowledge of. Thanks for the lesson, teach.

Yes, the water contained inside one cubic centimeter weighs a gram, and has a volume of one mL..
The density of water (at 4°C) is 1 g/cm3

that doesnt change the fact that liquids of the same volume can have different densities so 1ml of water will weigh 1 gram while 1ml of mercury will weigh 2.4 grams, this is why volume shouldnt be substituted for weight
I cant wait until we convert to metric time
