I have a question. I'm pretty sure that this will work to meter my batts, but I want y'all to look at it and make sure. And which thing would I put it on for that? TIA!

@Debadoo, that would work. I can’t remember but I’d guess you put it on volts to check your batteries. HOWEVER, if you are mostly just wanting to meter your batteries, I’d suggest a charger that will display the the volts of your batteries. It’s what I use. Every time I go to charge, my charger shows how many volts are left in my battery, then it displays the charging progress. There are millions, as you know, but I was looking for one from a reputable place with a comparable price to your voltmeter. I found this:I have a question. I'm pretty sure that this will work to meter my batts, but I want y'all to look at it and make sure. And which thing would I put it on for that? TIA!

I have an Xtar VP4 (that I love) with displays. Couldn’t live without it.
I use one of these for a quick voltage check.

Just touch the leads to the battery (red=positive)
Not as professional as using a multimeter tho...

thanks y'all. I will keep the fast tech thingy in mind. Jup, mine from Scott bit the dust.
The xtar VP4 has been on my wishlist for awhile, but I have some credit at GB, so this will essentially be free. The DMM that I have is the cheapo one from harbor freight, and I think the not changeable battery is going bad.

No. It looked almost exactly like this one.

Ok, so after 3 years of using Reos, it finally happened. I dropped a spring in the p-67 not sure why (need to take the atty off and meter it) the battery is fine though in another mod, so not that.
I realized the only extra spring I have is for the woodvil, but I can steal a spring from a grand........here's my question and I should know this, but don't remember for sure. Is the grand spring the same as the p-67 springs?

Oopsie! I haven’t joined that club yet but........I don’t have the answer to that one either (One of those facts I thought I would never forget. Haha). Let us know what you find out. I know I have some kind that I can share with you. Just PM me when we find out.
I suspect it's just the screw size that is different on the p-67 vs the Grand.
The site sells springs for "metal" reos and woodvilles, but different screws for the grand and p-67
that's sweet hun. But I have my grand and woody so I can vape til I can get one if it calls for a different kind. Yeah I meter super good. It was weird, I was just vapin away, suddenly it wouldn't vape. I always check the batt first if that happens, cuz I've had some issues with the sammy 30Qs sometimes not making contact. Low and behold that spring was about 1/2 it's original height.
So not completely pancaked, but certainly enough. Can't praise those springs enough though. Whatever happened, it did what it was supposed to do.thanks hun. I'll check with @Eric Parlin
I hadn't noticed the different screws. I blame not enough coffee. Or maybe not enough bacon or chocolate, I'm sure it was one of those things. But I'll vape the grand rather than swiping it's spring 
The only didference between the Grand and P67 springs is thread direction. P67's screw from the top down, Grands from the bottom up
Awesome! Thanks. I've been enjoying using the grand again, but may swipe the screw from it to put in the p-67 til I can get a couple of em.
Speaking of removing screws. I’ve been wanting to clean under the spring and put a bit of deposit there (like I routinely do with the firing pin, etc) but seems like they are in there real tight. Also, too easy for me to strip the threads of the screw. Any thoughts? Bad experiences/ good experiences? Thanks Reo family.
