I vaguely remember that, but this thread is only ten days old and just might fit what you are looking for:

Based on what you're trying to do, it may not be for you, as it has a 10 amp limitation
I'm also toying with trying to find a cheap meter. I only want or need it to measure ohms. I'm going to build a rta building deck that I can fit an atty onto build and measure the coil then pulse it to tweak it into shape and wick it ready for use on a mod.
well... if you guys want to put a switch in place that switches the coil over to this and back over to the mod or whatever then this design would work...
but this cant be attached at the same time as the battery / mod / whatever so a DPDT switch between this and the typical in use path would be best...
Low Ohm Meter - Measures 0.001 up to 1.999 Ohm

Now that looks perfect for what I want, but a couple of questions considering I'm not electronics trained.
Looking at the chip diagram a battery would connect on the top - and + terminals! what size battery?
Would you connect the 510 connector to the 2 terminals on the right hand side of the board?
Where can I get some of these?
If am reading it correctly you've been very helpful cheers.

After looking again it's lost me. Maybe I've lost you.
What I want, exactly, is the chip out of an ohm meter. Something I can mount somewhere I like, connect a battery or 2 to 1 side and a 510 to the other. Basically make my own box for cheap ohm meter. Just a simple little project to practice making a box and soldering a couple of wires.

Typically the ohm meters that reliably read micro ohms are around the 1k price mark.
The suggestion above uses a panel display thats setup to measure microvolts and repurposes it as a micro ohm meter by feeding a known current through the circuit and measuring the voltage drop across the coil.
The best way to use it is stand alone like shown on the page at these ohm ranges things like switches and extra wire only hinders.
also a DPDT switch would have to rated for the current you want to feed to the atomizer.
not exactly plug and play -- and will need to be calibrated occasionally -- but its the only way to measure small fractions of an ohm for a reasonable cost that I am aware of

Hellooo helloooo anyone there? Where am I? I'm lost.
Totally over my head that lol. It will be so much simpler to buy a £5 ohm meter from FastTech and strip the guts out. I've don't that part easily put messed it up with my soldering skills so need another one. All it is is 1 chip with 2 wires to 510 and 2 to a battery sled, simples.
I just wondered if I could just buy the chip part on it's own.
Thanks for trying to explain though
