Can't rely on the provari anymore... I need a good ohm tester.

As some of you know I've gotten into rebuilding. I enjoy the process and the money saved. I recently purchased an mvp so here I get into rebuilding evod heads. It came to light I needed am ohm meter but hey I have a provari. I just have to buy a 510 to ego adapter. Problem solved. Not really. The adapter is garbage. My iclear 16 got stuck in the deal. Anyways what would be a good ohm meter. That's the only function I need. Not interested in the mad vapes one because I'd still have to use an adapter. My wife and I are going shopping for tommorow does walmart carry a good one? Or should I just order online?

Oh and to check voltage on my batteries would be great to.

Get a meter. Walmart should sell them http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gardner-B...Digital-Multimeter-With-Rubber-Cover/21192956

Just get a cheap one from Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Around $20 will get one that does way more than your looking for.

If you're out n' about, just drop in on your local RS and get their cheapest one. Do not let the 'droid talk ya into sumpin' more expensive. Da generic DMM chips today are GTG.

I agree. A cheap multimeter will suit you just fine. Plus it is very useful for other applications. Automotive and household electricity stuff. Don't know how handy you are though. Before I bought my provari I ohmed out all my stuff with a craftsman multimeter that I keep in a kitchen drawer

So I'm guessing there aren't really any bad ones out there lol. Thanks for the help guys, may just stop by walmart tonight it's on the way home.

The thing about cheap multimeters isn't the degree of accuracy usually. Any multimeter will usually provide accurate readings. The downside to cheap meters is the build quality. Auto mechanics such as myself prefer more expensive models, not only because they provide more features, but because the solder joints on the circuit boards are better. Often when you drop a cheap meter on concrete, a solder joint will break, rendering the meter useless. It happens no matter how careful you are in a garage setting. But if your going to use it strictly for vaping, I really wouldn't recommend investing in an expensive model. It's overkill.
