You want the best? Are you sure?

Measure the resistance of your sub-ohm coils accurate to within 0.0004 ohms, (beating the Fluke by a wide margin.) Automatically compensates for lead resistance.
A steal at only £600 (about $900).

For voltage there's this one:
Buy Digital Multimeters RSCAL(2333251),TTI 1705 bench multimeter Aim-TTi 58122-0640 online from RS for next day delivery.
With 12,000 counts it will measure your battery voltage accurate to within 0.0016 volts and calculate the true RMS power that will be delivered to your coil no matter what strange waveform your mod puts out.
Yours for only £478 (about $650).

:drool: oh man now THAT'S SHIBBY! Haha thanks for sharing that brother, I love the fact that it compensates for lead resistance (I mean how hard is it to get something to subtract for you?), and that accuracy would DEFINITELY be overkill. You could tell the difference between the moisture from you breathe landing on the coils for christs sake!

-Darn you brits and you pounds, always get's my hopes up when I look at prices! I plan on visiting liverpool soon.

I bought two multimeters, and returned both. The first cost $7 from Amazon. The second cost $16 from a local home improvement store. Neither worked to measure my coils. I wanted to measure them before I had reassembled the coil heads, to save myself that effort if they weren't done right. After looking at various e-cig vendors and what they sell, and discovering that their devices only measure reassembled coil heads, I decided to be satisfied with my VAMO readings.

Now I discover that a good one costs much more than I was willing to spend.

When my Russian 91% arrived I was at work. Unable to resist the temptation I decided to wind a coil in my lunch time. I was using eGos at the time, my SVD still in transit from China. But we've got a meter in the office, it's even a Fluke...

... a low end Fluke. It turns out the lowest ohms range is 2k ohms. Most meters go down to 400 ohms, which means you've got a digit after the decimal point. Not so when the range is 2k. Trying to measure a coil when the only reading I could get wandered between "1" and "2" proved interesting.

That is what I discovered.
