Ohm Meter

[AdammBone]

Been making coils and vaping without reading the ohms. Is that bad? Is an ohm meter necessary? My friend told me he doesn't use it but he still gets ginormous clouds.

Let me answer this with a question.

Would you rather find out that you have a short by checking with a meter first, or after you fire the button on the mod?


Building coils without checking them before use is unsafe and not advisable.

An ohmmeter is very necessary for safety's sake, knowing you won't exceed your battery's ratings. Particularly important if you ever put your mod in your pants pocket next to your ...uhh...ahem...ohh... you know.

But also if you build some coils that work better than any others on a particular topper, knowing how many ohms they are makes it easier for you to reproduce them again and again.

It would be like mixing up a fine batch of DIY eliquid, not knowing what percentages of each flavor you used, and now cannot reproduce the wonderful flavor in the next batch. Measurements are important.....

Is an ohm meter necessary?
Only if you value your equipment...and your hands.

Agreed...it is a cheap thing to buy an Ohm reader. Otherwise you are building in the dark and putting yourself at risk.
