TWIST + RDA - Do i need an expensive multimeter if I am not sub ohming?

[izaidi]

Hey! Im planning on getting a rda in the near future. I want something cheap and that sits flush on a twist so likely a Igo-S. I will try to do a micro coil with a cotton wick. The twist has a current limit of 2.5A and a max voltage of 4.8V -- so i will target a resistance of 1.9 to 2.2 ohms.

Do i need an expensive multimeter if I am not sub ohming? I was looking at the following multimeters which are rather cheap. I figure eventually I will get a Vamo or a VW devices that can check ohms for me, so why get something expensive now. If I get a mech mod in the future and start sub ohming, then I can invest in a $20-$40 multimeter then.

Those meters will be fine.Just be careful on that twist with an RBA.

Thanks. As I understand it right now, the twist has a 2.5 current limit. So as long as I make sure the current remains above that, then I am safe. Is there anything else I need to consider ?

If you get a hard short the twist battery will be toast.With that batt you have no protection against shorts.EDIT;Make sure you clip off all the excess leads as close to the posts as possible so they can not contact the top cap and short out on you.

Thanks!!! I'll be very careful to cut the leads as close as possible. I've also read the the twist does have some short circuit protection.
