Volts, Ohms, problem solved.

[raid2506]

After getting fed up with fiddly test meter probes for measuring mod output volts, no way of testing volts under load and not finding any decent low cost ohm meters for testing atty's I came up with this, The VO.





A multimeter with modified test leads.

Male and female 510 connectors with pass through capability.

Used to test:

Battery voltage (with battery/mod connected).

Battery voltage under load (with battery/mod and atty connected).

Resistance of atty (can be tested on the battery/mod but no mod or battery are required).

The test head male 510 connector can be screwed into your coiling station and the atty into the female to give real time feedback during coiling.

You can even vape it and monitor changes to voltage and resistance over time.


(If there is any interest I can make this available in the Mod Shop from next week).

Definitely interested  raid2506  , been looking for a resistance tester for quite a while!

count me in mate if the price is right
I have exactly same meter DT-830B

Come on down!

Good little meter these, I have a £££££ Fluke and rarely use it as I have a couple of these on my bench.

Count me in 2 (if the price is right and you ship to Belgium) ^^

I can ship to Belgium no problem, just don't try to pay in waffles!

Just let me know when you have one available and where to send what money and my address to

Very clever idea

Cant wait for the book "1001 things you never knew you could do with a cartomizer"

Seriously clever idea

[raid2506]

Just checked with the PO testdruif and a small packet to Belgium is £4.95, I will be a able to bump that down to £3.95, would you still be interested?

Obviously I still need to work out a price for the VO.

[testdruif]

Ha, that's some postage you have, I recon that's the price for a signed package?

Then depending on the price of that connector I might still be willing ^^

[raid2506]

It's straight from the Post Office

Have a look for your self. I checked with couriers too and it's at least £2 more.

Oh, I wasn't doubting you, just doubting the British postal service

[moodyb]

I'd be interested in one of these too raid2506.

[Banky]

I like this, really clever m8.
Hope you get plenty of order's.

I don't understand all this testing malarky Matt, but would it tell me what voltage is passing through a kick/kick 2 (which is vw) I would assume it would need to be above the carto/atomiser coil to do that ? as the voltage is dependant on the coil resistance.

Sorry if the question sounds stupid (I suspect it probably does )
