Asking the pros how to do this. Been using an ohm meter but it seems to be acting up just built a coil I know should be 1.2 - 1.3 but my meter was reading .02 I put my RM2 on my provari it read at 1.2 then bounced to 1.3. So put it on IPV2 reading of 1.3. Back to the meter .02 (Checked the provari one more time). Started vaping and still have a face :thumbs: SO I have a multi meter I use to check battery voltage and that's all I know how to use it for. When I first got it I messed with the ohms setting (I think ... it was the resistance symbol) and placed the leads at various points on the RM2 and couldn't get a reading. Could someone please post a quick how to for me and others who may be clueless..........video super x??? :D

Does your meter need new batteries :facepalm:

Thought of that FB and will check them next time I'm out and about in town and can pic some up and I still can read on my VV/VW devices as a last resort. But I'd still like to know how to use a multi meter to check resistance

Could be you meter. What do you read when you just cross the leads?

The multi meter didn't give me anything when I crossed the leads but again that was when I first got it and am not sure what setting to use to check resistance anyway didn't try this time just used two different VV/VW devises to double check.
