I have been vaping for six weeks now and recently picked up an innokin itaste mvp v2, 2 of them actually. As I needed something very reliable since I quit smoking I did not want to go back to that when I ran out of battery power. My question is why everyone makes a big deal about having a resistance meter, what exactly does it tell you? Is it the condition of your coil? For info I am constantly vaping off of either a regular nautilus or mini.
The Purpose of having resistance reader?

Resistance meters are a must for those vapers who want to get into building their own coils and/or use a mech mod. With regulated mods like the MVP, it's not as important to have an ohm meter, although it does give you a good voltage/wattage range to shoot for so you don't burn your juice or wicks. There's a chart floating around here somewhere that gives you power settings to shoot for for different resistance coils.

So about what should resistance be? Mine normally shows 1.6 - 1.7 but it currently shows 2.0 and it seems weaker, which is why I posted this question, I didn't know if a higher number meant your coil was going bad. I vape at 10 watts.
With a variable wattage device like the MVP it doesn't really matter, as long as the resistance is within the acceptable range for the device (not sure what the range for the MVP is). You just set the watts and the device takes care of the rest. On my regulated devices I usually build 1.3-1.4 ohm coils, but that's due to my preference for coil diameter and wire gauge, nothing else really. On my mechanical mods I commonly build 0.8 ohm coils, because lowering the resistance is the only way to get higher watts on those. With mechanicals it is absolutely essential to use an ohm reader.
Raise your voltage/wattage- higher your ohm more watts will give you more smoke
I monitor my coils on my MVP 2. as they go bad, just had my first one take a turd, the ohms went from 1.8 to upwards of 2.2. I did notice soaking them will bring the ohms back down some, but they quickly rise again. Seems like on a regulated mod (only one I've owned) the volts, watts and ohms all work together and the last thing you need is an ohm meter. I have been toying with the idea of an RDA. if I wre to delve into that realm of vaping, I would invest in a meter prior to my first device.
Your mvp2 has a built in ohm meter. See your user manual for how to find it.
The bottom line is if you are using factory made tanks and atomizer heads you will not need an ohm meter.
The purpose of the ohm meter is to check the resistance of custom made atomizer coils. So if you are not making or having someone else make your coils it is generally not a concern. But a coil of too low a resistance or shorted can cause bodily and/or property damage if used in a mech (unregulated) mod.

Like EBates said. You don't need a separate ohm meter. Your MVP has one. If ohms are creaping up, make sure your center pin has not been pushed down and is clean. Don't over tighten you tank. Just screw it down until you feel a slight resistance.
