Is it possible to guesstimate on Ohms?

[anavidfan]

Hello, heres what Im thinking. I have some Vivi nova 2.5, and I have a Phoenix rebuildable coming soon. I dont have an Ohm reader yet but I see that the ohms is set my how many wraps on the wick. It is possible to guess the ohms by wrapping the coils the same amount of times as the wick on the original wick?
I will eventually get a meter, but Im trying to find one that will be easier to use as Im math "handicapped" and putting numbers together and adding and subtracting gives me a headace.

I guess I could by an expensive meter such as a Provari to check the ohms?

All you need is a cheapo $10 multimeter to check the resistance... If it helps... using 33ga Kanthal A, 4 wraps is 1.9ohms, 5 wraps is 2.5ohms, and 6 wraps is 3.1 ohms...

Depends on what you are wrappin too and how fat the coil is. buy the multimeter.

You can Guestimate just about anything. But this is one where you can be Way Off.

Just go to Homedepot or Harborfreight and buy a Digital Multi Metter.

Thank you so much. Im going to check at harborfreight and amazon and see if I can find a good meter. I think Im going to like rebuilding. I do want to get some experience in this as I do love those Zens attys. I think something like that would sit rather pretty on my saber touch

BTW , Nurzrachit, nice bike on you avatar

Cartomizer and Atomizer Ohm Meter

I'd get one of these instead of a cheap meter. You'd get more consistent readings.

Go to walmart and you will find this Equus 3320 Innova Auto Ranging Digital Multimeter in the automotive section. I use it, and it is as accurate as a fluke meter.

Thank you everyone, I looking into the one that unloaded suggested. I think being able to attach the carto/ atty straight in is a great idea, and " no math" involved, YEah
