Madvapes ohm meter

[edsmith]

I don't know where to post this,has any one used the madvapes ohm meter ? was wondering if it is any good. thanks

Well in the review on that site one person brought up the point of getting a multimeter. You can get one that will check voltage also for around the same price. I have seen one in my local vape lounge but I have a very good meter so I did not bother. It can only be used to do one thing. I will say that meters in the $20.00 range will not test PV voltage accurately because you need one that reads TRUE RMS. They are expensive. But a $20 multimeter will do more than the one you looked at. Radio Shack, Home Depot, Lowes all have meters at reasonable prices. Why get an ohm meter that you can't use for anything but testing Attys?

how do you test ohms on the DMM

 

[junkman]

Set the dial to ohms and one lead to positive and one to negative on the cart or what ever. Most DMM you will need to subtract internal resistance, which you find by touching the leads together.

That would have been me

I've got one and it works. I either check the ohms on my Provari or it and they're usually within .10 of each other. It's nice to have if I just want to check the resistance real quick since you just screw on the atty/carto and turn it on.

I have both the ohm meter from madvapes and a DMM and I like the ohm meter because it is so convenient to measure the resistance on an atty. No need to try and make sure you've got a good connection with your leads on the center post and threads with a DMM. Plus, it makes a nice base when working on a rebuildable - attach your wick and coil, turn it on, and you've got your resistance right there.
