I really wanna do it to track battery levels so I don't over discharge it

I understand the desire to want to keep from discharging your batteries too much, but vaping with an inline volt meter connected in between your MOD and your atomizer is ridiculous. Add to said ridiculousness, it will very likely kill your volt meter in pretty short order.

You left this comment open to interpretation so I really hope that your not calling me ridiculous I only asked a question so if your being snooby there is no need for that I spend a lot of time on xda-developers and there's a nuff aholes there for everyone i think us vapers will treat each other with respect I'll admit I'm new so please take it easy on me thanks

Seems to me that it would place a restriction between your mod & tank, making one have to draw harder to get the vape.

By that, I mean acting sort of as an obstruction. Just another device that you vape has to paas through. It would seem that the lesser attached gadgets, the better.

You can always purchase an inexpensive multimeter to check your batteries (& should), one just came in for me today for this purpose. Even ego batteries can be tested with one.

That's not what I meant at all.

There shouldn't be any need to draw harder. Unless you're using an automatic battery, air wouldn't pass through the battery, much less the meter. There are "intake" grooves on the atty end of the meter for airflow, though you can't see them in the pic at the link earlier in this thread.

There does seem to be a slight increase in electrical resistance from the addition of the meter. On my SVD, I'm seeing an increase of about 0.1Ω, but I am also using a 510>eGo adapter on the atty end of the meter. (Unfortunately, it seems the center pin on my meter is recessed just a bit too much, and won't make contact with my 510 threaded attys without it.)

There is a warning on the Discount Vapers site to not use this meter with sub-ohm coils, as it may not be able to handle the current. At "normal" resistances, you should notice no appreciable difference in your vaping experience.
