I am looking for a good DMM for checking resistance for rba's. I want to build a very low resistance coil for a mechanical mod I have, probably around 1.2~1.0. (I've seen someone build lower resistance than that too). I noticed a lot DMM's are accurate to about 5% + 2 counts and 0.1 resolution. So if I wanted to build a 1.0 ohm coil for a mechanical mod the resistance could be off by as much 0.3 ohms with the Fluke 115, and with that kind of set up it this would be significant. What do you guys use for measuring resistance on rba's?

This is what I use: Cartomizer and Atomizer Ohm Meter

You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. This thing is very accurate and you don't have to calibrate it or hassle with putting the leads in the correct spot and if your DMM is off by say .5 ohms you don't have to do the math to find out the correct resistance. All you have to do is screw in your carto/atty/RBA and it tells you the correct ohms.
