Tfv4 and an ohm meter

[uglyrichie]

I have a geek vape 521 ohm meter for some odd reason it won't read my tfv4, but will pick up my subox. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? I've tried both single and dual deck neither will read. Thanks

howdy - and welcome

when you say single and dual deck, are you referring to the rba sections (instead of coils) and you are saying your subox WILL read the tfv4, but 521 tab will not, correct?

The meter will read my subox rba deck, but will not read either rba deck for the tfv4. It won't even read a completed build for the tfv4. I hope this makes more sense always sounds better in my head than on paper

I don't have that tank, so can't say for sure. I've got a tank that's having the occasional fit reading on a mod, switch it to another it works fine. Put it back on the other one again, it's working again. I tightened the connections and that worked. Something isn't making contact somewhere. It's weird when it's hit and miss.

Tried my TFV4 mini and it reads all my rebuildables. TFV4 reads my stock coil but did not try my rebuildables cause it is full of juice. Have only had my 521 Tab for a week so I never tried my rebuildables in my TFV4 yet. CHEERS!

what kind of battery do you have in the 521 tab? is it powering up at all and just not reading anything?

** sorry - missed one of your posts - so, it IS reading ohms on your subtank, but nada on the tfv4? have you tried a stock coil in the TFV4 to see if it will read that? that is odd behavior - i have not had any issues with anything reading any of my tfv4s

@uglyrichie
You don't have a multimeter by any chance, do you?

Sympathies for this. Dealt with a similar thing last month, with multiple crown tanks and multiple RBAs. Took me forever to figure it out.

That does seem odd. It sounds like something is not making contact.

I haven't had stock coils for awhile and I've been runnin a basic 6/5 wrap but would like to start usin different builds. I haven't checked the pin to see if it's not contacting but it does read on my Kbox and the r200 that I have. I will check the pin when I get home. I do have a multi meter some where. Thanks for the help this just frustrates me because Ive seen vids of peeps using this tank on various meter's.

Nice. That will give you RBA/coil readings without the tank base/510 connections required for the ohm meter. More specific troubleshooting that way.

If I ever get around to describing how convoluted my issue was, I'll paste the link here.
