Ok so I am thoroughly frustrated so I'm turning to you fine people to help me out. Hey I'll at least get to vent. I just got my 1st multimeter today. (I know about time right.) I got this one.
Klein Tools MM1000 Electrician's Multimeter:Amazon:Home Improvement Well I'm having issues, lots of them. I'm testing a 4/3 wrap of 28g Kanthal and I'm getting readings jumping all over the place when trying to get the ohms. When I can get a reading it's at like 1.6 to 1.7 ohms. From reading I was expecting right around 1ohm.
Also when trying to test voltage under load I'm getting an OL reading which I have found out means "over load". Is this what a short looks like on a multimeter? If so I'm stumped. My wick is well seasoned. It's over a month old. My
coils have no hot spots. It's not hitting the bottom of the
tank or either posts. And above all else it tastes fine.
Keep in mind this all depends on if I'm actually using the damn thing properly but I think I am. Could it be a bad multimeter?
