I use this kettle
and this scale
According to Amazon, the LB-1000 has a resolution of 0.1g not 0.01g.
I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SVQHWY/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i06?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I highly recommend it. It comes recommended on Amazon. And it has a 1000g maximum with a 0.1g accuracy. Got it back in my DIY Soylent days.
I actually feel working with down is not so bad. In some ways, it's easier than with synthetics.
​
A couple of other things:
​
I'm not sure if your Green Pepper pattern is for an insulated garment. Unless your pattern is already designed for insulation with the amount of loft you intend to have, it will have to be adjusted. If you don't, the loft will push inwards and it will fit too tight (voice of experience).
​
This involves kind of tricky math but you can probably just increase the pattern dimensions by about 10% to 15% (or just size up accordingly) and that will get you pretty close. "Circular" measurements like the chest or bicep require more increase (10% - 15%); "straight" measurements like sleeve length require a little less (5% - 10%). The more loft you want, the bigger this effect is.
​
If you really want to fine-tune it, you could consider your first version a "working prototype", and adjust the pattern based on how it comes out. Your second version will likely fit much better.
​
Regarding working with down, if you are decent with chopsticks, I've found that to work very well. Plastic ones seem to have less static electricity than wooden ones.
​
You need an accurate scale like this:

​
Make an aluminum foil "box" and tare it out on the scale. Then move as much down as you need for a compartment, and start transferring. Just jam it down the hole. The down stays togther pretty well during the transfer with chopsticks, and static electricity seems to keep it "stuck" to the fabric pretty well once inside. There are always a few down clusters that end up floating around the living room, but not many. I've never had any kind of "down disaster" with this method. I've made several jackets using this method and it's simple and fast and works quite well.
​
I considered the shop vac method but I felt that it might work better for quilts, where the amounts of down being transferred are relatively large. A jacket compartment, depending on the width of the compartment, might only hold about 0.05 ounces (that's not a typo). It's really just a handful of down. I'm not sure how accurate the shop vac method would be for such small amounts... but again, I haven't used it and it might work great. Please report back! ;)
​
The other thing to consider is the steps of construction. Since it sounds like you're experienced with sewing and pattern-making, you're probably fine with this, but I found trying to figure out the order of the steps in construction sometimes baffling (pun not intended).
​
If the GP pattern instructions are not for a down garment, you'd have to figure out beforehand when and how you're going to be filling the compartments. There is definitely some planning, or you could end up most of the way through the project and realize a compartment is no longer accessible. Again, voice of experience. ;)
​
If you do end up needing some "assistance" with this kind of project, the Thruhiker Whitney kit is great with good instructions, and you could certainly use the steps of construction with any pattern. I bought and used the Thruhiker Whitney pattern and found it very useful. I've made several jackets with made-from-scratch patterns and designs, using the basic Whitney instructions as a guide. The Kinsman kit is also great but it is for a synthetic garment, so the steps of construction are very different than for down.

Condiment bottles from Walmart are what I use for pg and vg. Flavorings usually come in dropper bottles, except for a couple vendors that use glass screw top bottles - someone chime in to name them. I only need one syringe for nic. If you don't want to research recipes Gremlin has ready to mix flavorings http://gremlindiy.com/flavors/gremlin/
Don't buy a "starter kit." From Amazon get the scales that don't quickly power off on you [These] (https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-LB-1000-Compact-Removable/dp/B002SVQHWY/ref=sr_1_33?srs=2528924011&ie=UTF8&qid=1484619180&sr=8-33) and Essential Depot on Amazon for pg & vg
