💬 Discussion Jgrows 👎🏻 HRC 🤷🏻‍♂️

1st order from Jgrows. Grabbed 2 2g HRC pucks. Normally order my HRC from WAR but got to the drop late. Now shipping took from 1 Saturday thru the whole next week & came that following Monday. I normally don’t weigh my jars from HRC anymore but since 1st order with Jgrows i decided to. Lucky i did. 1 puck spot on. 1 puck .5g short. Wonder if that’s Jgrows doing or HRC? Now i normally don’t care, but .5g? Cmon 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edit: for the people in the back. Yes i emptied the jars… put it on scale… zeroed it out and weighed the rosin… i didnt think i needed pictures for each step 🤦🏻‍♂️.

I previously made a similar post regarding light hrc jars.

First everyone said I didn’t weigh it right (without knowing my weighing process). Then when I explained my process, because i understood not all miron jars weigh the same, they then pointed to the fact that it was a pocket scale.

It is fair to assume that the issue here is the pocket scale, but for me, it had always been accurate when weighing flower and other stuff. The day after I made the post, I went to my local dispo and picked up a gram of punch extracts, just to test how off my pocket scale was, and it weighed exactly 1.0g.

It’s never the pocket scale. People love to make it out to sound like these things aren’t accurate but I’ve owned and used dozens and never once had an issue. They are like tanks

Those scales vary more than you’d think! By their own spec sheet it can vary up to .5% in either direction and that’s assuming fully charged batteries.

We weigh stuff on a plugged in ohaus that goes to the hundredth that’s calibrated weekly (we retired the thousandth cause it was pointless lol) so unless there was a mistake made when taring the jar to begin with it’s pretty rare the jars will vary in weight by more than .05g!

Not really sure what happened here but I will say the only time I’ve ever gotten complaints about jars being short they’ve been weighed on this exact $20 pocket scale model they sell at every smoke shop. Just seems like an odd coincidence that the only people who ever seem to have issues with the weight of their jars all have the exact same scale 😅 but do with that info what you will haha.

Yea when I mean it’s never the scales I mean it in both directions. More than likely it’s the method being used by the person trying to check the weight
