So I built a single coil deck on my new Bellus, 7 wraps, 2.5mm, however on my Ohm meter it reads .92, then on my Coolfire 4 it reads .50 then on my istick 60w TC it reads .50 so I am just confused my such a drastic difference from the meter to a mod, fresh batteries in the meter, so I'm not sure why it would do this any ideas?? Thanks everyone :)

Was the tank fully assembled when you checked it on the meter? It's tight in there, and you could be shorting against the wall....
Shorting on the atomizer wall/deck/etc. wouldn't give an errant resistance - it would give an error. My guess would be that your ohm meter's 510 contact is not making proper contact with the atomizer's pin - especially given the fact that it reads the same on 2 different devices. The OP doesn't mention the gauge or type of wire - but assuming something in the neighborhood of 24 gauge kanthal - 7 wraps at 2.5mm ID would indeed yield something at or near .5 ohm.

Bottom like - check your meter's contact pin - or the housing that the atomizers screw down to - or the wiring underneath it all

You are correct sir on the wire size and wraps and I have since repositioned the coil and tried it on another mod and still reading .5 so I am guessing it's the meter, Thank you for the responses :)
