Measuring istick voltage

[smarties]

I have a couple of rouge isticks which seem to burn coils so I think they are no longer regulating voltage accurately, is there any way of easily measuring the voltage or shall I just forget it and bin em. When I put my multimeter on they come up 'No Atomiser' and I can't measure any volts.

It's no biggie I'm just curious.

The 20w was notorious for this, simple solution is to ignore what the display says and take it back to minimum and then dial it up to your own sweet spot irrespective of the displayed wattage / voltage smarties

I tried for a rough guide as they wont fire without an atomizer using a dripper with a 1 ohm coil (IIRC) then use a meter on the posts .

measuring a pwm output on a meter?

If it's a 20 watter, @1ohm a meter would make perfect sense. As the 20 doesn't buck the volts at 1 ohm with a low setting you'd be measuring a 100% duty cycle at the battery's Volts (effectively the battery voltage). But there would be no point measuring as we already know what the 20 Watters do.

If it's not a 20 Watter hey ho - can't be measured with a meter.

Thanks for the replies guys, I know it's pointless but I was bored had a couple of dodgy 20 w isticks and a multimeter, never mind did quite a bit more on my DNA30 build instead.

That is the best method, I use this from day I bought it.
