Ohm meter

[Kevo333]

I get different results testing resistance when using my innokin mvp 2.0, fluke millimeter, and two other cheap multimeters, all the multimeters are in the same ball park. When I get a reading of around 1.2 ohms on the multis, I get a reading of .8 on the mvp. Three to one says the mvp is inaccurate, anyone else ever test this? The fluke multimeter is my co worker's so I want to buy my own, any recommendations, what does everyone use, what about milliohm meter (though I'm not looking to break the bank) I do believe you get what you pay for.
Thanks

I have an MVP, and a few other hybrids. Plus a multimeter. All seem in the ballpark within a + or - tolerance of a few tenths of an ohm, close enough for me and my preference of about 1.8 ohms for protank coil rebuilds. I heard that there is a sweet spot with an MVP at around 2.2 ohms, just to throw that out there.

Personally.... I trust my DMM over my MVP2 or similar device.

A milli ohm meter.... yes, if you're going to build super low resistance builds (.1)... but it's STRONGLY discouraged building that low. Not safe at all.

Currently there aren't batteries available to support builds that low, but there are idiots out there doing it anyway.

My evic reading is a little different to the reading I get with the meter I bought from a vendor but usually only .1 or .2. Haven't checked with my DMM, might have to give that a try.

My MVPs are moderately close, but once in awhile they seem like they read a bit weird. I have a standalone ohmmeter, and it seems to be pretty accurate.

I rarely get below 1.6Ω on any of my coils (usually about 1.8-1.9 is my preferred spot for all my gear.)

you can get a resistance checker with a 510 connection sold at online vape supplies or local b&m there around $20.00 and fairly accurate to the hundredth place

Depending on the accuracy of each meter can be as much as ±3% accuracy per meter, meaning it can be up to 6% off. Good idea is to use one meter and stick to it, this way when your measuring resistance it might not be accurate but you can get uniform resistances all the time. I myself just use the device I use like DNA, Vamo and etc.

Accuracy[edit]

Digital multimeters generally take measurements with accuracy superior to their analog counterparts. Standard analog multimeters measure with typically ±3% accuracy,[6] though instruments of higher accuracy are made. Standard portable digital multimeters are specified to have an accuracy of typically 0.5% on the DC voltage ranges. Mainstream bench-top multimeters are available with specified accuracy of better than ±0.01%. Laboratory grade instruments can have accuracies of a few parts per million.[7]

Accuracy figures need to be interpreted with care. The accuracy of an analog instrument usually refers to full-scale deflection; a measurement of 30 V on the 100 V scale of a 3% meter is subject to an error of 3 V, 10% of the reading. Digital meters usually specify accuracy as a percentage of reading plus a percentage of full-scale value, sometimes expressed in counts rather than percentage terms.

Always check the zero calibration on the meter before checking resistance.
