I was wondering if anyone has used the notcigs.com volt meter and how it works? Does it work with a regulated mod?
Has anyone used the volt meter from notcigs?

Now that you have enough posts you can ask that question in the notcigs ecf forum...
here is the link
Notcigs
I only use the one that screws onto the battery to tell me what voltage my buzz is set at.... sorry

Ok thanks for the advice sugar and spice! Im new to the ecf so im trying to navigate my way around! So i take it now i can post on any forum??
As an aside, I just noticed how that rhymes.
So, what do you want a multi-meter to do? I suggest people have one, with vv mods in particular. But it isn't a necessity. There's only 2 things I do with a multimeter that are e-cig related (when not building them)...
1) Check continuity (or could check ohms) on an atty.
2) Check ohms of the atty
Since I use 5 volt regulated mods, I guess I don't need to check volts. However, if I did, it would be #3. Anyway, all meters do these things. I think the handy one is the "screw on" voltmeter that checks the atty under load. You have to rig a special connector to test it with a normal meter (not too awful hard, but still a pain).
EDIT: I went and looked at notcigs.com. It has a 510 connector for one side, but it won't measure under load of an atty and it says in a review that the eGos make it go bonkers. Looks like two little wires connecting it to the atty connector. IDK. I'd use the $10.00 or so to get a regular meter if it was me. No slam to notcigs, but I tend to go for standard stuff that is a multi-tasker and can be used for other things.
lol.

Lol atty pops! I just noticed how what i said to sugar and spiced rhymed too! I think im going to go with a regular multimeter even tho im new to them and dont know how to use them well... Thanks for the input!!
Hey rockproof! Did you need a 510 extention adapter for the madvapes volt meter to work on your mods?
rj1,
No, what you can't see in the picture Mad Vapes has posted is that there is a male and female connector on that device. The male end (roughly 1/4" long) screws into just about any mod I would assume...provided the connection is fairly flush with the top of the mod (probably would not work without an extender on something which has a deep drip well). To test the unloaded voltage, just screw the male end into the mod and hit the power. When you want to test the mod under load, screw an atty or carto into the female end and hit the power. Works flawlessly for me rj1. Hope this helps.
