I'm not sure if the OP is even following this thread anymore, he hasn't responded for a good while now. But I do agree with what you are saying. I feel exactly the same way. The pay it forward section is not for people who just don't feel like paying for stuff. It's for people in actual need. I posted here because I'm unemployed. People stepped up to help me, and I was very grateful, having received more than I asked for. I'm using an unregulated device, and I still don't have an ohm checker but I haven't asked here because I've already been helped so much. I have a multimeter but the readings jump around so much idk the exact resistance of my coils. It does work to test for continuity, but that's all I can really trust it for. At least I know when I build a coil its not going to have a short right off the bat. So I don't blow my face off. But when I try to check resistance, the readings always fluctuate up and down. Anyway, the OP has been given a lot of good advice, yours included. But like I said, he hasn't responded for quite awhile so we don't really know how he is taking the advice or whether it's really helped him. I hope it has, but more than that I hope he has changed his attitude.
