0hms-resistance meter

[David Ross]

hello, i brought a resistance meter which messures in ohms,
there is a battery built in so i can not take the back off, anyway i recoil my own heads for my clearomizers and have been using my sdv mod which has
protection in it so if my coil i make has a fault it dose not blow the battery,
now i have this meter and if i made a coil and it has a fault on it will it blow the built in battery or is it proctected to?

While (I think) the meter needs to push a tiny amount of current to the coil to get a reading it's a really tiny amount. It's not trying to heat up the coil. I'm confident in saying that there's no danger (if there was then there wouldn't be much of a point with meters) but perhaps someone else can give a more qualified answer as to why that is.

the meter ( box) uses a very small amount of energy to test the resistance ( but so does the SVD) there is no need to worry about batteries going bad with either methods of ohm checking...

The above post are correct. And some good multimeters have a fuse in them just in case something where to short with the meter.

What brand of meter is it? I use my Fluke 87V. I have a smok Omnitester but it has a fixed pin and won't read some atty's. It's worthless compared to my Fluke anyway. KenD & Bunnykiller are correct.
