Most people have this one Sad. Its cheap (15 euros) but it does a nice job. We are not rocket scientists
what? I knew that Greece was the most expensive country in the world but 15 times more!!! Its redicolous
I use a FLUKE meter......Its like $250 the one I got..But I use it for work too, I dont think I would invest in a FLUKE if it wasnt for my work too, In my opinion....FLUKE makes the best meters....very very pricey tho...
the only reason i made this post is because i am not a member of e-cig forums and can't go to the gg site and challenge imeo.
in this thread- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/119761-ggts-fuse-voltage.html imeo has a video of himself with a multimeter trying to prove there is no difference in voltage with or without the fuse in the GG.
the problem is he is measuring STANDING VOLTAGE and in any circuit weather it's high or low resistance the standing voltage will ALWAYS be the voltage of the battery. nobody has corrected him on his mistake.
in order to know if a resistor is causing voltage drop in a circuit you MUST measure working voltage, ie with an atty attached and running.
not trying to stir the pot, but little things like this really bug me.

This test is showing that the very low resistance of the fuse and components makes SFA difference to the voltage, attaching an atty will make no noticeable difference as a ratio between fuse or no fuse. Attach an appropriate resistor to the connector and measure across it to prove it.
Thought you guys didn't use millimeters anyway

The test he is doing is rubbish but this has nothing to do with the GG its the testing method that i am at odds with, if he was using a silver bullit to determine the difference in voltage between the standard and hot springs, using the same testing method i would feel the same, its BAD science being employed. .

Wayne has put it somewhat bluntly, but he's correct.
The voltage measured the way Imeo has done it is misleading as the battery isn't loaded in any way and the circuit is incomplete so he's in effect just measuring the battery voltage.
It would be simple to bodge together a load by cannibalising a dead atomiser, hooking up a resistor (anything smallish say between 1.5 and 5 ohms) to 2 leads connected to the atomiser points and then measuring the voltage across the load with the fuse and without.

But, if the end cap spring was giving resistance, wouldn't that decrease the voltage measured? We're not trying to measure loaded voltage at the atty as I've seen done to "prove" 5 volts.........we're just trying to see if the fuse adds any resistance to the mix.
Take for instance, you have a battery and a 1 mm thick piece of brass and you measure the voltage between the negative side of the battery and the brass sitting on top of the positive terminal. Then, you take a 5 mm thick piece of brass and measure the voltage between the negative side of the battery and the brass sitting on top of the positive terminal. The difference between the two readings would tell you how much voltage you're losing with the thicker piece of brass.
Right????? Or am I missing something here........I just don't know what attaching an atty to the setup would prove.

Alright, enlighten us all then......seriously, what am I missing exactly?
I think most here are quite serious... what do you propose to make the experiment better? It's no use to tell people their experiment is false without telling how to improve on it...
dude... I dont get it ... people are asking you seriously ... ( myself included ... I dont know
about testing, resistence or whatever). But, I think you , just answer the question about how the testing should be done... If not I'm suspecting that your just flaming this thread and Imeo ... And that makes you a troll in my book...Answers like these sounds like your about to start a flame war...
Just sounds like, your ducking it and not wanting to answer the question...
For me, I understood Imeo showing that theres no difference in resistence with add a fuse to the GGTS ... So your feeding the atty with the same voltage with or without the fuse...
