Cool HOW do I test my atty's?

Got the ohm meter out, new battery and all.

Touch the outer threads of the atty and the bridge and get a reading of 0 ohms, I touch the outer threads and the center bit on the batt end of the atty and get the same thing..yet this thing vapes like a fog machine..

What am I doing wrong? (oh, and I DO know how to use the ohm meter, and yes, I zero'd it out....

Help?

Make sure you are using the X1 setting of the Ohms meter.

I check attys by putting one terminal of the Ohms meter in the side vent hole and the other terminal on the center connector of the battery end.

Test the battery end of the atty.

Red probe on centre connector and black on the threads.

What model atomizer? New 901's read about 3.3ohms.

510 atty's and that's how I'm doing it...

I don't get it...I've checked 10 more atty's and have the same result...bad meter maybe?

Edited to add: went and tested a few other things and they check out fine...just not the attys....
