Ohm Meter and checking Ohms

[Silent Solution]

So, I just finished building two very nice micro coils 5/4 wraps on my IGO-W, using 28 gauge Kanthal. When I am testing it on my Ohm Meter it reads .92. I know my Ohms are lower than this so I stuck it on my Vamo and it is giving me a reading of .4 Ohms- that sounds about right. So, do you think my Vamo is more reliable as far as reading Ohms? Guess I need to get a multi-meter

Touch the probes of the multimeter together and check the meters resistance. It's probably more accurate than your vamo but you do have to subtract the resistance that the meter adds itself

Trent is right, I have a fluke multimeter for working on cars that cost me 200$ and its very accurate. I hardly ever use it with coils though because its easier and more applicable to test on a device. If your fingers are touching the probes that will add .3 ohms in my experience

My ohm meter that I bought from FT gives me the same reading as my Fluke meter....

So your bodies resistance is 0.3 ohms? You would make a coil to vape with... haha

Joking aside.. it is actually best to measure the ohms on the device you are using to get the final, end resistance reading.
