Do i need a Ohm Meter?

[tj99959]

The reader on the mod should be fine.

Now that 'depends'.
Most mods have to fire the coil in order to read the resistance. So I would not make that a blanket statement. There just might be a mod out there that would blow up in your face. OR .. a mod that you would burn up the ckt. board. OR, .......................
All those mods out there were not created equal.

You can find ohm readers out there for next to nothing ...... so why not have one.
Besides, they make a great little stand to mount your atomizer on while you're working on it.

I too prefer building on an oHm reader. Helps ensuring you're on target with the build, is stable to build on. Good standard practice when you put it to habit. Not quite got building target coils in my sleep yet, will get there.

If you are new to rebuilding yes, it is very useful. After a while from building you know around what ohms it's going to be

If you have one on your mod they work, a lot of times that's what I do but it is nice to have a second opinion sometimes just to be sure. Computer boards can go south sometimes or get a glitch and read wrong. My IVP D2 is stuck on .3 and will fire lower but won't read lower than .3. So I double check on ohms meter or a second mod. Be safe.

I just bought a 521 Tab by Geek Vape which is an ohms reader and fires the coils. Real nice ohms reader.

CHEERS!

not all mods are equal and a base does help for building

Ahh the New Provari?

I didnt even read the thread and my answer is YES! Get one. They are cheap and give you a good safe baseline.

Well said I agree! Working on a coil on top of your mod will wear down the treads faster even if they are stainless steel. You can replace an ohm meter easily($10) if the treads go bad, not so easily with your mod (Insert price here)

I use an Ohm reader first before putting an newly built atty on my mods whether I use my mechs or my regulated ones. I just feel safer doing it that way.

I screwed an ego adapter into a nice block of cherry wood for a work stand.

My coils have too much resistance. Do I need an Ohm Eater?

Hi all,

i will try my first time with a RBA Coil, $6.83 Authentic Smoktech SMOK Micro TFV4 Replacement Micro R2 RBA Coil Head - 0.35ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping ,
but i'm wondering if i need a Ohm meter, or can i use the reader on the MOD itself?

Do you need seat belts in your car....no. They do come in handy to avoid getting flung 150' out of your car window under 10gs of force though [emoji12]
