After all the posts lately about shorted Atomizers/Cartomizers ruining batteries... How do I check for a short? I have a multimeter, what would show a short? Would the resistance change? If so what would it change to? Any help would be appreciated.
An atty/carto will act just like a light bulb. If the filament in a light bulb is good a multimeter will read the resistance of the filament wire.Thanks for the answer...
Can you explain why it would show as no resistance? If there's a closed circuit even though it's a short circuit I should get resistance shouldn't I? It probably won't be the coil's rated resistance though... I just want to be sure I can tell before I use it...
Thanks again
If you have a Harbor Freight close by, check out these: 7 Function Digital Multimeter & 7 Function Digital Multimeter With Backlight. Both on sale for under $5.00.Spider,
Thanks so much for this info!
I lost 3 batteries yesterday, 2 of them my newer Riva ego batteries to new mega cartomizers that were for 510 units. I was sickened to say the least.
I hope these multimeters are not very expensive but if I can check my new supplies before use maybe in the future it will save me some money!

No.Oh wait: does it matter where you touch the cartos or atomizers?
Forgive my ignorance but I haven't played with one of those meters in years.
