checking resistance

[88shambles]

Other than using the trusted Provari or a multimeter, what other options are there to check the resistance of an Atty? I've seen videos of folks sticking their attys into a unit to check the resistance. I'm not sure what it is called but it looks like it has a square base and a 510 connection on it and an led display which tells you the resistance.

check smoktek website. they have what you're looking for, ohm meter.

resistance meter.. with 510 connection

Can't find the ohm meter on smoktec. Reason why I'm asking is I've noticed that my Provari is only being used to check resistance nowadays. Thought of getting something to check resistance.

Found it! I used Alvinado exact wordings. Lol. Thanks bro.

Gonna order this soon.

its smoktek not smoktec

brother i know you very excited, but u forgot the rules.

once you have done it enough times, you can roughly guess the resistance of your coils.

So I say don't waste $$ on the what ever fancy ohm meters. Just use a multimeter or a Provari or vamo or evic(if you have those) to do it.

Ya I think the ohms are usually -2 or +2 right?

congrats

I'll take into consideration. Thought it would be best if the Provari goes to a better home.

No... +2 -2 is big big difference. imagine u're going for 1.5ohm, +2 would yield 3.5 and -2 would..... well you get the picture.

the difference is usually + - 0.0X where X=integer of your choice. sometimes it won't even show on the multimeter. Assuming you are consistent in coiling and making meshes.

LOL! Oops I meant + - 0.2! Haha. Thanks for correcting me there.

A multimeter cost much cheaper and you can check on most atty without hassle. But the one you chosen cannot read GG-style atty unless you got the 510 adapter.

Thanks for all the advice. Appreciate it.

now I coil my own RBA, I find that a lavatube is not too far off in terms of resistance estimation. A provari would be better but its beyond budget for me

Then just keep the lavatube or get a cheap multimeter...I got mine for less than S$10...
