what should the ohm rating test @ if i have a 4.5ohm atty? 4.5 +/- ohm because the attys i bought are testing @ 5.1-5.6 on my multimeter. i know they vary but i didnt think they vary by 1ohm i think thats high or am i just being picky

You need to check the internal resistance of your meter. To do this touch both leads together. Then subtract this reading from the reading you get when you measure the resistance of your atomizers.
The 200 setting is the correct one out of those three. If it had a 20 setting that would even be better. Looks like your atomizers are pretty much in specs.
One more thing. Make sure you check your internal resistance everytime you use your multimeter because the reading can change.
200 is the correct setting -- touch the test leads together and wait for the reading to stabilize - as you stated 0.4, is what one of my DMM's reads too.
Thanks for answering his question guys. You aren't being "picky" compltaset77, .5 Ohms -can- make quite a difference sometimes, but we have to keep in mind where these are made and sometimes the tolerances just aren't as tight as we'd like. Which atomizers are you testing? The HV's from us?
My Wavetek meter reads 0.00 on itself. I haven't tested my Fluke. What kind of meters are you guys using?

My fluke reads as high as 1 ohm at times. This is why I check it everytime I do a resistance measurement.
Hi Rob I am using the cen-tech digital multimeter #908999 and the Hv 901 u normaly sell not the attys that SLB messed up that u recently got.
