This is the first time ever I've attempted to use a multimeter to measure ohms on my atomizers and I'm not sure I'm using it correctly. I just bought it from Radio Shack and need to figure out if it's defective or if I'm not educated to use it properly.
The multimeter is on the 200 OHM setting. I inserted the positive (red) end inside the battery side hole of the atty and held the negative (black) end against the atty threads. The reading is very inconsistent. First, the numbers are bouncing all over the place and after a few seconds start stabilizing. I've tried using it on 510 LRs and regulars, 901s, 801s. For example, on a 510, it will show 1.9 and a couple of seconds later it will be as high as 2.4 ohms.
Any qualified help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
