Down the rabbit hole..
I only am aware of one mod that comes with a digital readout and the box is pretty big, and expensive. There may be others that I'm not aware of.

madvapes.com sells a swell little digital meter for checking the voltages out.

Thanks, Brian

No worries mon--not a deal breaker for me--I'll figure it out

Will you have a VV DIY kit any time soon, Still looking froward to the 18650, I got the 14500 on its way. Hope to get it tomorrow.

I don't think so. After the initial rush of people who had wanted a DIY kit the sales dropped off sharply. I am going to be using most of the kits I had ready for sale for my next run, I don't want perfectly good parts going to waste.

If you really really want one, I will just put a kit together for you during my next Mark-IV run. Basically I will just set one aside before I start sanding and it will essentially be in kit form.

Sound good?

i think brad was referring to this one, it seems the easiest at least, got one myself today for my VV coming soon


this one has a 510 connector and you connect a atty or cart to check the voltage, should work fine

Assembled Volt Indicator


but there is also this one which seems less convenient but is cheaper Battery Voltage Indicator

hope this helps you

i hope thats not the case because i thinks its real complicated to test an atty under load, i think its not something you can do on the fly......

It says the first one won't work with a linear regulator...I think that's what the Mark IV uses.

I think the multimeter is the way to go.

I have never tried either the Cigtechs or the Madvapes mini digital display, but I just ordered the one from Madvapes and will give it a go when it gets here. I'm sorry I had not thought of the people out there who do not use a multimeter in their daily lives, being a electronics technician my whole life, one of those is like me peg leg .. don't even think about having it around.

This is what I ordered, Item #10492 Assembled Volt Indicator

Assembled Volt Indicator

I will set all of them to 5 volts before they leave the shop, so that way they won't blow a standard atty for that is what I mainly vape, 5v with standard atty.

arrggggg......

I'm all for using a multimeter, but I don't know where to touch the leads or the process for checking the voltage.
If you can give instructions, I can do it.

To check the actual voltage under load, you would need to leave the atty connected and on the inside of the box, hold the leads to the atomizer connector center feed tube (which is wired hot) and the outer shell of the connector and press the fire button.

Easier would be to Remove the atomizer, tape down the fire button so you don't need a second person to push it, hold the leads to the outside shell and center of atomizer connector and you can get your voltage reading like that. Holding down the fire button is no problem as you don't have a load connected to the power.

If that mini meter from madvapes works well, I might just start using that as it sounds alot easier than juggling meter leads.

Hope that helps, arrr...


P.S., be careful not to blow the atty using the first method

just tried your method with my reo grand and it works well!!! easier than i thought...I bought a nice multimeter a few weeks back..so if i can do it anybody can because i am not technologically advanced, even though i build my own computers, but when it comes to hardware and circuits i am an idiot

Never mind the first step, couldn't check it that way, with a completed circuit you could only read amps.
