Vaping question: Can this be used to measure the resistance of an atomizer when building your own and the voltage of batteries for mods ?

I am currently using it to test my coils and it does work to a reasonable level. It will definitely will tell u if your coil is safe and the rough resistance, but I would not consider it precise enough for the serious vapor.

An 'atomizer'? If you are building one of those things that vaporizers a whole city, the answer is :no. Otherwise, u can use this for any small jobs that doesn't require high level of accuracy. It can measure any batteries smaller than electric power plant batteries. If you won't be needing this frequently, sure, buy it. If you plan to build many parts to your model, you may want something easier to use and more accurate. Reading measurments off this product was a bit difficult to me because it is not steady, the reading. Seriously, it isn't that bad, given the price.

I bought the meter to judge the level of lead-acid batteries, but since it is just a voltage meter, I'm not sure it would make any difference.

Negative. You would require a way to monitor cell voltage if the 18650 were not individually charged kind of like an rc lipo with the balance plugs. Check out the arduino as a charge controller in conjunction with this boost buck.

Hi R.W., this tester will certainly tell you if smaller batteries are in good shape but it is kind of over kill as it works by resistance testing. Kind of like plugging a toaster onto your battery. It will draw a lot of juice off the battery in just one test with smaller batteries so if they are weak you will know it fast and they will likely need a recharge afterward. I use it for 4 and 8 D size batteries for starting large diesel engines. I would suggest a lighter amp load tester for what you are doing. Something around a 50 amp range. Hope this helps.

i dont know.just hook an ammeter in series with it and a battery and you'll find out

Well, for starters... I ordered this set to use in my ecig mods. These batteries are monsterous compared to the standard 18650 battery. I have 6 mods and these wouldn't work in any of them. Most of my mods are regulated and have safety features for protection from bad batteries and other protection... These don't fit in my mechanical mods. They are a snug fit in my other mods. They wouldn't fire with these batteries. I later discovered that the voltage was much higher than what was marked on the batteries. This is why they don't work in my mods. The voltage is just waay too high. I would stick to brand name lithium batteries for precautions. Well, for starters... I ordered this set to use in my ecig mods.

From what I can see, it looks like it will test the same variety of batteries, but just a heads up on button cell batteries, on the BAT-200 it will test the 1.5v button cell correctly. But it looks like the 3v button cell battery will register but the needle is maxed out and not reading battery is good, it's just pegged out, I'm just waiting for one of my 3v button cell's to get weak so I can test it and compare results with a volt/ohm meter.

Don't use these in a mechanical mod unless you use a fuse or voltage regulator. They could actually blow up. Perfectly safe for something like a Vamo which has protection circuity built in.

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the I·R losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

This is a simple Volt Ohm Meter. It works, and was quite cheap. I use it for small projects like testing battery status, but it might work fine for your task. Obviously there are many available at Amazon that are of much higher quality, but the price will be more. I would expect you should be able to test areas of your circuit to see where current is still being applied when the switch is off. Do take notice of the ratings for what it can handle.

We generally just use multimeters and/or Hydrometers to check batteries, I don't think this has that capability.It's great for charging though.

I use it to detect bad magnatrons and transisters, and it will show a difference of 1 ohm, the only one I have that will go that low.

I believe (have not tried it) but there is a flat tip screw driver which has a clear cylinder handle which has a fuse in it. I believe this is the voltage tester.

I bought the BAT-250. My "guess" would be that it tests 1.5 volt batteries, and possibly not 3V. For six bucks you could try one and if not still use it for other things. But that does not answer your question.

It wont check resistance but it will tell how many volts are going through the coil a multi meter would give you the resistance.

These could be dangerous to use in a mechanical mod without adding a fuse or a voltage regulator like a kick. You'll have no problem with anything with built-in electronics like a Vamo or SID.

I don't know what you want this gauge to do. IT measure amps volts, wattage. load, and Cycle. It doesn't know how many AH Capacity your batter is. Hope this helps RC
