Multimeter help...

[Watchmyshoes]

So I just started rebuilding and have pretty much been having between 1.8 and 3 ohm builds on a mech with a kick and wanted to move to a low res build... So far I have been checking my res on my vamo but wanted to get a multimeter for the lower ohm checking...

I have checked YouTube but seem to only be getting ppl checking cartomizers and was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good inexpensive multimeter and how to check ohms on an rba/rda...

P.s... I see a lot of ppl using the "ohm checkers" but they are impossible to find

It's not very complicated--please see this post for step-by-step instructions.

Welcome , and you can buy them pretty much anywhere , Home Depot , Walmart , etc . But if your planning on keeping your Vamo , no reason to bother with the multi-meter . Although there are lots of things you can check with them , and they are fairly cheap . Just turn the device to Ohms , at the lowest setting , and touch the red lead to the positve side of your coil , and the black to the negative side . while checking ohm;s the color you use , really doesn;t matter , but you may as well get into the habit . As far as sub ohm coils are concerned . If you use a 28 gauge Kanthal , with a 3/4 wrap , it should come out to about .08 , or .09 ohms That seems to work pretty good on a 3.7 volt mech mod . Good Luck

If you just want one for checking volts (batteries) and ohms (coils) Harbor freight and Northern Supply have under $20 multi meters. I have a Fieldpiece that I used in the commercial refrigeration and residential A/C biz.

I picked up the cheapest digital multimeter they had at Home Depot and have been very happy with it.

Why thank you Sir!

Copy and paste... The question comes up frequently.

Good to see you, my friend!

Not true, all multimeters are not created equal.
Some have trouble with the low Ohms

I just came up with a nifty all in one solution for testing your atomizers
