So my co- worker got a free multimeter from harbor freight and gave it to me today.. How do i use it to check ohms?
any assistance would be appreciated.

Ok, thanks. So it's not good for sub ohms?Switch to the 200 Ω (Ohms) scale (180° opposite 0f where it is now), Black test lead to COM. Red test lead to "VΩmA".
Red test terminal to positive, Black test terminal to ground.
Don't trust it for anything less than one Ohm.
Ah. Yeah 200 seems righter.He gave you the meter, but not the docs? Turn the dial counterclockwise to maybe the 20k mark. I'm not sure of the exact mark there you would use, better to wait for more replies..
No. At sub-ohm, they're not accurate. buy a known good quality, accurate (accuracy and resolution are not the same thing) build box/ohm meter.Ok, thanks. So it's not good for sub ohms?

It's fine for sub ohms. I have a Klein MM 100 and it's usually spot on with any of my regulated mods or ohm readers....it's dead nuts down to .2 for me.No most multimeter's get flaky down around 1.2 ohms
That's fine for 510's, but what about a hybrid mod? I have one of these on the way from a contest, and I don't know how else I'm supposed to check it.No. At sub-ohm, they're not accurate. Buy a known good quality, accurate (accuracy and resolution are not the same thing) build box/ohm meter.
Above about 0.30Ω, you can use a decent DMM alone... preferably one with a min/max feature* so you can make an educated estimate of true resistance from the range provided. Make sure you discount the test lead resistance.That's fine for 510's, but what about a hybrid mod? I have one of these on the way from a contest, and I don't know how else I'm supposed to check it.
