Im looking for a multimeter, preferably from amazon (prime), thats $10 or under. The multimeter will be used to check my batteries AND read the ohms from my hybrid atomizer that isnt 510 connection (Paps Heron) so my standard ohm reader wont do.

Ive been debating on a few by looking at the reviews. Some of the products ive looked had reviews saying some arent accurate and yada yada yada. I was originally set on the cen-tech one but it being soo cheap and looking real cheap I was hesistant. Then I came across this Amazon.com: INNOVA 3300 Hands-free Digital Multimeter (10 MegOhm): Automotive ... wonder if anyone has feedback on that?

It's probably just fine. They don't give much in the way of specs, but you can get the user manual if you Google it.

I have this one. IMO for vape use the low resistances is the trickiest thing for a DMM to handle. This meter does not allow me to zero out the leads, but I can work with it and for the price I'm happy with it. I doubt the one you're looking at is much different, but I would check on the number of decimal places it reads at 200 ohms. Mine is one. If this one is zero, you have a problem as a reading of 1 ohm then could be anywhere between 0.5 and 1.5 ohms.

Might just get the one u did as I haven't gotten feedback or seen reviews from vapors on the one I posted.

I would give it a little more time LReyes. There might be more input coming. I bought mine over a year ago and I don't keep up to date on this stuff. Who knows what else might have come into production in the meantime :)

You can always check it against the ohm reader you have. Give you a rough idea about how accurate it is.

Yeah that's true. I was worried that it wouldn't zero out when I touch the negative to positive but I can always just do easy subtraction lol.
