Help-need a new, accurate Ohmmeter.

[conanthewarrior]

Hi people. You may remember I've been having a lot of trouble with my tanks lately, well I worked something out earlier.

The tanks did have slight issues that need fixing,that are now sorted, but now even my drippers are playing up now, so it must be my ohmeter. It either gives no reading, or a very high reading, but if I put it on a device it is the correct resistance and works fine.

The Ohmmeter I am using only cost £8 off ebay, and says 'manvapour'. I would like a similar style, like this type: http://www.illumn.com/coil-master-digital-ohm-meter-voltmeter.html?gclid=CLr7oOfssMgCFevnwgodno8CXA

Just the ohm reader, and ego battery voltage reader, as I only need it to read Ohms. I would buy the bells and whistle full coilmaster one, that fires and that, but I don't want to spend too much as I need other things.

So does anyone know of a good, reliable reading Ohmmeter for say under £15?

This is on the UK forum too, but just want to get as many answers as possible for a reliable meter, especially since I am using TC now, it needs to be accurate for 0.08 builds and such (I usually make them .1 for NI200, as I've been told the lower you build in TC, the better it works by a vape shop. Don't know if that is bollocks though)

Thanks people, Conan.

Doesn't get much better than these. No voltage checker, but what you get for ~£15 is a very on-point meter that goes down to not just the hundredths, but the thousandths. I'm pretty sure they ship internationally. I know for a fact that they are sold internationally. Some online vendor in the UK has to have them.

For a little bit more, you can get this one, which has a spring-loaded 510. Never has any of the connection problems you're having with your meter because of it. Everything you screw onto it sits snug and flush. You don't have to worry about over tightening and breaking it.

I'd highly recommend either one. They'd be the last meters you'd need to buy for a long time.

I agree!

Thank you. I shall get one of the spring loaded ones most likely, and hope it lasts a long time. Shouldn't take too long to arrive from USA to UK, the last package took a week-for now I can just use a regulated device until I get it, as my ohm reader is completely non working. Turns on, but reads no resistances at all.

I have a feeling the problems I was having with 3 tanks in the same day was not the tanks at all, but the bloody reader lol, but I 'repaired' the tanks, all 3. The Lemo V2 was definitely repaired though, as that was off on my devices also, ohms fluctuating with kanthal.
