901 atty adapter for Mini Reo?

Any decent volt meter should be fine. I have a 901 adapter I got here that's working nicely. Be sure to attach the adapter to the atty first and check the resistance (ohms) before you attach it to the battery.
Hello,
Thank you for your response. If you don't mind my asking, what is "stealth"? I saw on IKVape's web site "stealth 901 LR atty's", if I remember correctly. I typically have used the LR 901s thus far. Is the stealth adapter dedicated exclusively to the "stealth LR 901 atty's"?
Also, being technically challenged, I found a multimeter on amazon.com that appeared to have good general ratings and reasonably priced at 16.99, it is "Equus 3310 Hands-Free Digital Multimeter" with a quote from one reviewer stating:
"The best feature of this meter is the 10 Meg ohm impedance, which allows accurate voltage measurements in almost any electronic circuit. Other low priced meters with 1 meg ohm impedance will give false readings when measuring across resistances of 1 meg and above (you'd only get half the true voltage reading because the voltage divides equally between the 1 meg resistor and 1 meg meter.) "
I don't fully understand what this means, but it appears lower electronic readings are hard to accurately obtain. Plus I have no idea how one gets a reading from an atty? I apologize if this is too technical and lengthy. Any help or leads to resources would be appreciated. Thank you

What is Reo - 510? This place has an adjustable 510 to 901 adapter. I think madvapes might also have an adjustable one. I think the adjustable ones may have a longer threaded part and a collar that can be spun down or up to make the fit perfect?
Adapters
I don't know how to measure an atty. My total guess as a software person would be to set the multimeter to an ohms setting appropriate for picking up ohms values between 1 and 4 (or just the ohms setting if it only has one). Then the central section of the threaded end of the atty should be one polarity and the threads should be the other?

The "stealth" part refers to the adapter's "profile", i.e., most adapters are about 1/4" high. These particular adapters are designed such that most of the "work" fit inside the atty, only about 1/16" actually shows while in use. Other 901 adapters will probably work just as well.
You don't need a particularly high end MM for these purposes, there's one available at Harbor Freight for around $5. You just need something to measure voltage in the 0-5v range, and resistance (ohms) in the 0 (a short circuit) to 20 range. (Most attys fall below 4, those being under about 2.5 being considered "low resistance".) What's "critical" is being able to identify a short (0 ohm reading) or a bad atty (30 or 40 ohms).
That "may" be true, but I get fairly accurate results from a cheap Radio Shack meter that's around 30 years old.
As dormouse mentioned, just place the positive (red) lead on the center post of the atty, and the negative (black) on the threaded part, (using the lowest ohm setting you have), being careful not to let them touch each other. It *sounds* a lot more intimidating than it really is, once you've played around with it a bit, it will seem like child's play and you'll wonder why everybody doesn't do it
HTH
ETA: Yes, Reo's are 510 connection as a rule, although a few folks have ordered them with other connections
To Ancient puffer and dormouse...
Thank you both for your replies. I cannot express how much I appreciate the time you took to provide such thorough instructions. I now understand! I now realize that the adapter I have is "adjustable" and how to test and why. I am out the door with my written instructions you provided to look for a multimeter this afternoon with confidence. I will not try to put the adapter together with the LR 901 on my new Mini Reo until I test it (now that I know why and how).
Dormouse... the Mini Reo is a bottom fed mod with high reviews that has a native connection for 510 and 801, I believe.
Once again, thank you both!

I'm most happy if I helped at all. And as said above, welcome to Reoville and join us over at the Reos Mods forum. Nice folks and more info than you can absorb in less than a week
ETA: Just to make sure you remember, connect the adapter to the atty FIRST and recheck for shorts before you attach to your Reo. Sometimes tightening the adapter to the atty compresses the insulation and creates a short. Very unpleasant to have happen.

Hello,
Thank you for the welcome and invitation to the subforum for Reo's mlinky and ancient puffer. I will go there and try to submit a post. I am not sure if I qualify yet to post there.
I did buy a digital multimeter yesterday at my local Sears. I managed to do readings on my batteries but not sure if I am doing it right for the resistance yet.... I am quite suspicious if the only 901 LR atty I have at present is working properly with the Reo. The atty is working fine on my 905 V3 and I can't figure out why that is. However, a regular 901 atty I have is working fine with the Reo, so my adapter issue I think is resolved and you won't believe the rigging I am doing... using a rubberband as a drip guard to test!
I decided to continue my quest, purchase more LR 901's and a drip guard... then I think I will be all set! So now my real conquest is "patience" until I get this all figured out! It is tough being a minority 901 fan...
Thank you all once again!

Interesting about the rubber band. I saw a post (somewhere, but couldn't find it later) about using an o-ring with the 901's to catch any drips out the air hole. The idea was to angle it, with the edge just below the hole, and any juice that leaks out, gets pulled back in on your next hit.
TBH, I ordered a drip shield, but found it didn't work very well for me, so I'm using the 510's again until I feel like messing with it some more. I'm convinced its operator error.

Hey vward, you're over 5 posts, so you can post anywhere on ECF. Take a look at this thread in the REO forum http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/175647-901-fans.html
The adapters sold at R&R have a brass tube coming up through the middle of them to feed better, I use them on my Mini and they seem to work very well for me. > R&R 510-901 Adapter
