I know resistance is important, but if I follow someone's instructions to the letter, for instance the Scotsman on YouTube and his T3 rebuilds, shouldn't my ohms be just about the same as his ohms and therefore ok? And theoretically, if resistance was too high or too low, what could happen? I'm using a 1300mAh Spinner and a T3, by the way. Thanks!
How important is checking ohms on rebuilds?

The main issue is shorts. Even though you are using a regulated device I would highly recommend still checking your coils with a multimeter (you can get them cheap at almost any hardware store), because electronics fail unexpectedly. I just really wouldn't trust any eGo style batt for short protection.
But yes, if you follow instructions on a specific build you should get about the same ohms. Still, a + or - .3 ohm could creep in there somehow, it has happened to me.

Getting a higher resistance isn't a problem. You'll just need more energy to get to the same power levels. A lower resistance, you'll need to be mindful of your batteries continuous current rating. Make sure your battery will handle about 20% more current than you're aiming for to give you some wiggle room.
Checking your builds is cheaper than replacing damaged equipment as well as ensuring your safety.

Ten bux for a multi tester or the possibility of buying another Spinner. Besides the majority of issues that we run into can be quickly and easily diagnosed with a multi tester- should be in every vapers toolkit cuz countless times we hear of issues and the frustration of not being able to easily and properly diagnose the problem- becomes a guessing game.
This multimeter is great and small from RadioShack. I use it for checking all my rebuilds. Remember touch the leads together with no coil and you might have 0.1-0.2 ohms. Minus this from reading for real coil ohms. Double check you work too. Like everyone said cheaper then a new battery or mod.

Checking your resistance is essential. Electronics are finicky, there are too many variables to trust that a re-coil done by hand will come out the same every time. Check each and every time you install a new coil.
Thanks for the advice fellas. If using a multimeter with 2 leads rather than one the vape supplies sell with the fittings for our clearomizers, where do I touch the leads to? One to each end of the kanthal wire?
Yep. There's variation in mass produced coils, so there's definitely going to be variation in handmade.
