In theory the istick should not fire if it is shorted or the resistance is too low.
In theory the istick shouldn't do a lot of things it has been known to do (I have an early 50w version)

But that's good to know.

Any recommendations for a meter?

You planning on going waay low or just down to .5 or so? If not below .5 any of the meters for testing coil resistance should do ok.

It makes me wonder why such high wattage. I have seen countless reviews and most use power levels in and around 80 to 100. So my thinking goes right to marketing..."We offer 1000w of climate changing power, no cloud in nature can match our cloud producing Mega Mod!":facepalm::)

I have a Sigelei 150. I've vaped at 130 watts on a Mutation X setup using 24 gauge wire that was only a warm vape at that power. It was too much vapor for me. I don't mean the vapor I exhaled was too much, the vapor I inhaled from a 2 second drag was too much for me.

I stay between 35-65 watts depending on what I feel like vaping at the time, mostly around the middle of that range. The nice thing about the Sigelei 150 is I have enough power available to play around with anything I may ever want to try and I can also turn it down to 10 watts if I want to and the two batteries would last a really long time on a charge.

OTOH, if I were into cloud chasing I might be really happy with the higher end of what it can do. But I don't think many people actually cloud chase. I agree with you Panorama, there is a lot of marketing hype in this. Reminds me of the CPU speed wars about 15 years back. No thought to computer performance, it was all about the processor speed. Marketing again, but people bought it.

I'm sitting on top of 2 12volt sealed lead acid batteries in my power chair. I AM gonna figure out how to connect my mod to it. That's 24 volts 75 amp capability. Vape On that.

That actually sounds like a pretty good deal to me. You could definitely vape it for a while before having to recharge those suckers :thumb:

Just make sure you have a good DC-DC converter and a couple of fuses in the system ;)

USA Ohmmeter :)
Thank you! So I looked and found this - says it includes a 510 connector - and that's all I need?? (I learn fast, but I'm starting at zero here, so thanks for your patient guidance!) USA Made Clear Transparent Ohm Meter *RED LED*

Also, is this a typo, or are the readouts really this illogical (missing decimal for the 0.30 ohm readout) - here's copy/paste from that page :

Example of display readings:

  • 3.00 Ohm Coil 3.00
  • 0.30 Ohm Coil 300
  • 0.03 Ohm Coil .030

That and some AA batteries to power it. I've heard those are really good, and more accurate than you'll need for a 0.5 build, which is NOT a bad thing.

I don't think it's a typo, or if it is, it's that only the 3.00 would have a decimal. They're designed to read really low builds. Honestly though, unless you are confused about which wire material you bought, you'll know the difference between a 1.5 and a .15 coil.
I did see a post where someone got nickel wire when they meant to get kanthal.

Steam engine is really good for precalculating and confirming your metered build

Wow - I'm having a tough time wrapping my brain around that... I can't comprehend why they would use decimals in some readouts but not others... and leave it out of the one that I'm most going to need!?

I don't think there's a decimal before the first digit, so in order to give you a reading into the thousandths, they just leave it off.

Yep! Choose whatever color meter you like. Mine isred with a blue LED.

Yes, that's how it reads. It shows to the thousandths place with all but the lowest subohm builds. I tested a 0.753 ohm build last night, which shows 753 on the meter (no decimal place). If I were to put my non subohm Erlkonigin on it, it would read 1.26 for 1.26 ohms.
