Need Atomizer Help!!

[Palmetto]

the probe goes in the battery hole side or the atomizer/wic side?...

There's some good photos of how to test at Post #26 on the above link, or, to be specific:

anyone know a way of testing the voltage on the batteries?

Thanks Palmetto, I hadn't had a chance to go back through that thread again..

remove your battery and set it aside. Then probe the battery side of the atomizer(threaded side)

Yes, remove the atty from battery.
Measure from center (hole) to outside (thread) of atomizer.

got it..Thanks guys (smile)

There is more to an atomizer than just electrical resistance. I checked atomizers for circuit resistance.

#1 12.9 ohms little to no vapor.
#2 3.0 ohms some vapor but unsatisfactory performance.
#3 3.1 ohms some vapor but unsatisfactory performance.
#4 3.0 ohms high performance vapor.
#5 3.6 ohms high performance vapor.

Kevin,
I agree completely. There are other factors beside resistance.
I suspect a hysteresis effect compounded by rapid temperature change.
Gonna be hard to get a handle on this.
The wire mod seems to take care of the passthrough problem.

just though I'd add to this and refresh............I have six new batts and attys
5 new atty's read. 3.0 ohms and 1 reads 3.1........one of my old ones has moved up to 4.8
so if your resistance goes up the atty is dying
