Can someone help an old lady out with a dumb question? I have two volt meters. Why I have no idea. I also have the atty/carto meter that you can screw the atty on to check the ohms. I use that all the time when making my coils. But I have two what I believe is called the volt meters. They are clear hard plastic with the digital readout inside. They have the screw adaptor on both ends. I think they are called in line volt meters? I got both these in the classifieds and want to know what to use them for? I tried once to use it to check an ego and wrong thing to do. Fried the ego because it is a pulse modulated device???? If that makes sense???? So can anyone answer what I need these for? What they are used for????

From what I read ????? (scary thought there) an ego has pulse modulation. So this will not work on an ego. I wanted to check my ego battery and after I screwed it on the ego would not work again. So what would I need this for? Would it be good to check on a tube mod? These were in a bundle on the classies that I purchased but don't know what I would need them for or use them for? I have also vamo's, svd's, zmax's, etc. Should they maybe be used to confirm voltage on these? Or throw them in the garbage?

Hello REOVille. Home tonight, Mamaw's meatloaf is good stuff !
Did I ever mention Mamaw is from Bluefield, West Virginia ? For Pietro, the West Virginia Viy-sectomie Story;

Cletus was driving through his hometown in West, By God, Virginia one day. He looked at the Wife, looks at the six kids.
Cletus looks again at the Wife, and again at the six kids.
Then Cletus says, "Wuman, we needs d'be doin' sumpthin' 'bout havin' all these chillins' !"
The Wife says, "Well, why doncha go down ta Doc Morgan's an' getctcha self fixed ?"
"Ya mean one o' them thar Viy- Sectomies ?" Cletus asks.
"Yea, go getcha self a Viy- Sectomie." the Wife replies.
Later that day, Cletus walks into Doctor Morgan's Office and says, "Doc Morgan, I needs me one o' them thar Viy- Sectomies !"
Doctor Morgan, being and educated man, said "Well, that's perfectly understandable Cletus. But don't worry, with the miracles of today's Modern Medicine a Vasectomy is a simple operation."
That's when Doctor Morgan reaches into his desk drawer for a Cherry Bomb.
"Now Cletus, this is what I want you to do; Take this here Cherry Bomb to someplace where you feel comfortable. Not here, just go someplace comfortable, then light the fuse and hold it up to your ear. That's all there is to it ! Pay the receptionist on your way out."
Cletus pays the receptionist, walks out to his car and mumbles, "I think I'll do this rite here an' surprise du Wife when I gets Home !
"Let's see now, Doc says light da fuze.... Holds it up ta mah ear... One... Two... Three... Fuhr..."
But when Cletus gets to Five, he runs out of fingers on his left hand. So he sticks the Cherry Bomb between his legs and continues counting with his right hand, "Six... Seven.. Eight...:shock:

Id be inclined to test on a rep first to be sure the meter isn't buggered then if its good any mechanical and I'd think any VV mod you could test
