I am getting fed up using my spare Vamo to check the voltage left in my 18350,18500 and 18650 batteries so i was thinking of making a volt meter with one of these from Fasttech www.fasttech.com/products/1222900I have a few no longer used Vivi Nova (3.5ml) tanks sitting about and hopefully the meter will fit inside of the tank. Has anyone done this before and are there any tips or tricks to make it as easy as possible?

Cheers for the link mate but one of them will be more faffing about than using the Vamo imo.
I just want to use something that i can screw into my mech mods with the battery in it.

I also use a multimeter to test voltage, takes 2 secs. Or even my i4 charger will tell me when i put a battery onto it id its fully charged etc...

I have the FT one (3 of them) they are fine (mine are the Red LED version), but only round down to the nearest 0.1 V (100 mV) so if your battery is at 3.59 V it will show 3.5 and if below 3.3 V it will not work. So they are fine for a pocket battery checker, but not for making a tankometre v drop tester. IIRC StalthVape had similar ones, probably better.

Yeah I got one coming from FT, doesn't need to be spot on for me, more of an indicator when using a mech so I don't kil the battery. I do like the ones on SV though -> www.stealthvape.co.uk/WHITE-1S-VOLTMETER available in various colours.
