and I can't get the needle to move when hooking up a cartomizer. any help? thanks
multi meter only has X1K resistance setting

Personally, I'd get a new meter. Plenty of times you want the <1K level.. Mine uses it as well for continuity.
Hey! Tear it apart and reuse the display in a new mod! ;-)

Needle to move? Is this a analog multimeter? I recently replaced my old meter with a new digital one from feebay. I wanted one that also measured inductive amperage. I got mine for about 60.00 its a UEI and even has a diode and capacitor mode. You don't need a fluke save your money. I'm a commercial electrician and don't need or use a fluke.
yes its a analog, so the question is if it only has a 1k setting is this worthless for measuring the resistance of a atty?
yeah pretty much worthless, the average ohms for a atomizer is 2.4 ohms. So on a 1000 ohm scale it is not going to move the needle much. Might want to check out Harbor Freight for free multi meter coupons they have that deal going on quite a bit. The meters are not great but for free it is not a bad.

Oh gosh those hf multimeters are horrible. Once you remove the test leads from the 90 end, (like when you move the pos lead from Ohm to AMP) it'll become very loose and end up falling out or not make proper contact. But then again it was free, just keep that lead in the ohm and voltage hole and you should be fine.
Love HF btw
