Ohm meter battery tester not working.

[Mark Spencer]

I just got an ohm meter from a local vape shop. It looks like one of them meters from coil master...
The resistance meter works perfectly, but the voltage meter doesnt work. I screwed ny mod (Subzero Shorty) pushed the button but nothing happened. I tried to open the switch of my mod and pushed from there and my battery got shorted..

Any solutions?

I can provide pictures for more information...

Since you got it locally, I'd take it back. Might be defective, might be your mod doesn't make a good connection. But the shop should be able to help out, or replace it if necessary.

Yeah take it back and give them ..... Have them replace it and show you how to use the new one so you don't have to go back and you can make sure it works before leaving.

If your in the USA they aren't allowed to help you anymore. They should replace it though.

I vote for a defective device. If it reads resistance and doesn't read voltage it's bad. The same contact is used for both readings. It also depends on the Pulse Width Modulation frequency of your mod.

Some of the old 510 voltmeters won't read voltage on the older VV devices that used the 33hz/66hz buck/boost circuits. They would flash all 8's when you hit the fire button, but on an 800hz Provari the voltage would read fine.

ETA: didn't realize it was a mech.
Since it's a mech, it should read voltage just fine. Here's a rather in-depth review.
