Can you measure voltage drop with a mulimeter??

[Mitch65]

so can this be done with my mulimeter i have spare wires and some alligator clips so connect what to what ^^

What you posted would measure the PD(voltage) across the atty under load

Yeah, which is what the OP asked for.

Battery Volts=PD mod+PD atty+PD coil (Kirchoff's law)
Bear in mind the Battery output will sag under load too , and adding conductors especially via connectors will also drop further volts skewing the test .

@ Buzz, if you are interested I'll PM you a way you can do it, but without decent test gear, it becomes and exercise in p!ssing in the wind !
Also it will return a number of "fek all" in real terms most likely (unless your are testing a Wan HungLo vaping set-up) .

If we ride that train of thought to the station, you'll never get a "true" reading of a device's series resistance without a four-lead DLRO. Send me a mech and I'll use mine on it.

That's also measuring any drop in the atty, but it gives you a pretty good idea comparing mods. That's the way I do it, actually.

It does include the atty. added [and atty] to original post. Thanks

I should have read more carefully. I do it in 2 steps. Just measure the battery; then put the meter leads on the appropriate terminals in the atty and fire it. A bit easier with a bottom button mod, cos you can just press down with the leads to fire.

Exactly this !

Agreed.
