Got an ohm reader

[blacksoap]

Got an ohm reader from amazon and I threw my rda on it and its giving me a reading of 5.45 for some reason which obviously not right. I have a single coil 5 wraps around a 2.4mm screwdriver so it should be around .7 ohms... HELP

try a known coil, like a kanger .5 subtank coil. Should read .5 or .54., possibly .6.

There's no reason to use third party sites like eBay or amazon for anything vape related. Too many known, trusted vape gear vendors with competitive prices.

As to your problem, do you have a multimeter or a variable power mod?

All I have is this ohm reader. The reason I got it was because it was pretty cheap. Could you possibly link me to a vape store that has an ohm reader for quite cheap.

Thanks,

I like this one made by Sigelei. It's powered by either a USB cable (included) or a 14500 battery (not included) which can be recharged by most of the chargers we use for 18650's and such.

There are things I'll cheap out on and things I won't...items that can affect my safety, like batteries, chargers, and meters fall into the latter category.

Lightningvapes.com has a decent ohm meter for around $15, I've had it a while and it hasn't gone all wonky like my FT one did after a couple months. There's another site (someone will chime in soon I'll bet) with some super nice, really expensive options - even though they're not cheap, if my current meter ever dies that's where I'll be buying from next.

These are the best. I just bought one, because my original one was so inaccurate as to be dangerous!

These are the expensive ones I mentioned earlier as being my next likely purchase, even though less than $30 for one of their base models still isn't exactly a bank-breaker...

these are pretty good and inexpensive

LightningVapes.com is also another good reliable site.

If you're ordering online, buy the one from usa ohm meters. They read to the thousandth of an ohm where most only read to the hundredth.

Ohm meters and batteries are items which you really shouldn't cheap out on.
