Volt meter installation

[Ohmcuccio]

Hello i am new here and any responses would be greatly appreciated. I am building a fully mechanical 21700 box today. I have everything figured out except the volt meter. I was wondering how to install it. Is it as simple as positive to positive and negative to negative? I do a decent amount of electrical at work so I'm pretty confident I know what to do but would like some outside input since this is my first mod. Especially since it's mechanical.

i see three options.you need negative and positive to work.could be straight off battery (on all the time)or pick up positive at the on off switch (if have) or off the fire switch or 510 ,will only show volts when hitting.

i don't get out much.this needs to be moved to the modding discussion. you will get a better ex plainer then me.

Hi and welcome,
Is this a full mech with a mosfet?
Besides removing the battery, how do you plan to turn off the volt meter?
What advantage are you seeking by having a volt meter on a mech?

full mech used to be popular here with madvapes kits.they had volt meters that could be added.after using for a while there was no need.you could tell by the way it hit but sure looks good.ban would suck but it would be cool to start building again.

I haven't seen too many voltmeters on full mech mods, most are on either mosfet or PWM mods.

I would just connect it across the battery +/- through a momentary switch, a quick press of the switch will show your battery level, or you can hold it while you fire the mod to see the voltage under load.
