I have both, VAMO V3 and a cheap multimeter (feel the VAMO is more accurate [could be the batteries in my multimeter are old and getting weak too])

Found a guy who "modded" his using a 510 connector (madvapes) drilled the case of the multimeter, mounted the 510 connector on his multimeter, then soldered the connection internally to the back side of the probe ports.

for voltage checking one of those madvapes 510 connectors and connect to this $1.93 0.36" Display 3-Digit 3~30V Voltage Tester for 18650 Battery - red LED at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Someone here on this forum also took an old busted carto tank and figured out how to put the above in it

Good: Mods will check resistance and shorts

Bad: they have protection and will not go very low, also they will not check continuity.

I think it depends on how and what you build if your rebuilding clearo coils a mod is more than sufficient. If your venturing more in to the exotic a multimeter would be better.

Cartomizer and Atomizer Ohm Meter IF you can catch it in stock, it's the best way I've found, but get a good multimeter too. It'll come in handy for a lot of other things.

Yes, that is a big "if" I know it would be much easier to screw an atomizer in the box. Last ones they had in stock were in July..what was it in stock for a day or two. I am sure everyone and their brother is on their notify list including me.

3 multimeters later... the black ohm reading boxes are worth the effort to acquire. Most APVs will check the resistance just fine, but not all will detect a short or have short protection. I lost my first Vamo V2 that way.

Thought vamos had over-current protection (more sophisticated than a fuse)?

Put yourself on notify when in stock list, and hit it within 5 minutes of getting the e-mail... only way to get one.
I am already on the list. Just hope I am one of the fortunate ones. Has anyone heard of when they should be back in stock.
