Ohm Meter for Atomizers, Cartomizers, and RBA's I've found that 99% of people who say these are useless either don't own one, don't make their own coils or both. I don't use mine more than once a week and still think it's worth every penny, one of the handiest pieces of vape kit I own.

I build all my coils. I have used an ohm meter for some 30 years, so spending $20 on a box that only reads ohms seems silly.

I also have (2) eVic's and a Vamo if I want a quick read without getting up.:)

    To each their own.
    I've got a Bosch 560 sitting out in the garage, but who in the hell wants to go out to the garage every time they want to test a coils resistance.

    I thought it was a goofy idea when it first came out too, this was before rebuildables hit it big. I thought it looked like a solution looking for a problem, well it found one!

    When I build I put my cleaned atty on the box with the wire in the posts and adjust the length to get the resistance I want before I coil so I waste a lot less wire and I can get my coils identical build to build with no fuss at all. the only thing that would make it handier would be attys with bayonet style connectors so you wouldn't have to screw them down, just insert and twist a little. :)

    I have a couple of good multimeters already, so I just made a test jig from a 510 connector, a plastic box and an extra set of test probes.

    I cut down the leads, keeping the plugs and about 8 inches of wire, soldered the wires to a 510 connector. Drilled holes in the plastic box to mount the connector and allow the wires to exit. Plug it into the regular meter jacks and there you go.

    It's easier to use than trying to hold meter leads on the base of an atomizer.
