The Virus Pocket Scale Checklist:
This compact scale offers a great balance of high precision and user-friendly features for consistent results anywhere.
Understanding the specifications of the Infyniti Virus scale helps you see how it provides consistent and accurate results. Each feature is designed to solve a specific problem, from reading measurements in low light to weighing only your material and not the container.
| Specification | Value (What It Is) | Benefit (Why It Helps You) |
|---|---|---|
| 50g Capacity | The maximum weight the scale can measure. | Perfect for handling personal amounts of herb or concentrates without a bulky scale. |
| 0.01g Readability | The smallest increment the scale can display. | Get precise, repeatable doses for concentrates or jewelry, ensuring no material is wasted. |
| Backlit LCD Screen | A digital display lit with a blue light. | Read your measurements clearly and instantly, even in dim or low-light rooms. |
| Tare Function | A button that resets the display to zero. | Place a container on the scale, press Tare, and get the net weight of your material only. |
| Protective Cover | A hinged lid that covers the weighing platform. | Protects the sensitive load cell from dust and pressure during transport or storage. |
These core specifications ensure the Virus scale is not just portable but also truly useful for tasks that need high precision.
Beyond its main specs, several design choices make the Virus pocket scale very user-friendly. These features help streamline the weighing process and add to the device's durability.
The Tare function is essential for getting accurate net weights. Simply place your empty container or parchment paper on the scale, press the "Tare" button to reset the display to 0.00, and then add your material. The scale will then show only the weight of what you've added, ignoring the container's weight.
A bright, blue backlit display ensures you can read measurements without mistakes, no matter the lighting. Whether you are in a bright room or a dark setting, the high-contrast screen gives a clear reading, preventing errors and saving you from needing a separate light.
Yes, the built-in hard cover is a critical feature for a pocket scale. It snaps shut to shield the delicate stainless steel weighing platform and the sensor from accidental pressure, scratches, and dust. This protection is key to keeping the scale accurate, especially when carrying it in a pocket or bag.
Helpful features like one-press Tare and a protective cover make this scale both simple and reliable for daily use.
The Virus 50g x 0.01g scale is versatile enough for many tasks where small, precise measurements matter. Its compact size and fine accuracy make it the right tool for several specific jobs.

| Typical 100g x 0.01g Scale | Larger Batches, Kitchen | 100g | 0.01g | Higher capacity for weighing more at once. |
| Typical 50g x 0.001g Scale | Jewelry, Lab-Grade Powders | 50g | 0.001g | Ultra-fine precision for very sensitive materials. |
| Basic 200g x 0.1g Scale | General Kitchen Use, Mail | 200g | 0.1g | High capacity but not precise enough for most concentrates. |
The Infyniti Virus hits the sweet spot for most personal uses, offering excellent precision in a portable package.
Proper care is key to maintaining the accuracy of your digital scale. Simple, regular maintenance can prevent common issues like drifting readings and wrong measurements.
For best results, calibrate your scale every so often. You will need a 50g calibration weight (sold separately). To calibrate, turn on the scale, press and hold the "MODE" or "CAL" button until the display shows "CAL," then place the 50g weight on the center of the platform. The scale will confirm the calibration. Always do this on a flat, stable surface.
To clean the weighing platform, use a soft cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Do not spray liquid directly onto the scale. Make sure it is completely dry before closing the cover. Always store the scale on a level surface with the cover closed to prevent dust buildup.
Regular calibration and proper cleaning are the two most important steps for long-term scale accuracy.
Following a simple routine before and after each use ensures you get the most accurate readings and help your scale last longer.
