Using Your Multimeter

Pictured to the left is the control dial of the DT95B Pocket Multimeter

The photo shows the control dial pointing to the 200 Ω position, ready to test the resistance of an atomiser. 

To test the voltage of a battery:

1. Set the multimeter dial to the 200 V DC setting.
2. Hold the red probe on the positive + end of your battery and the black probe on the negative - end.
3. A 3.7V battery should read about 4.1 or 4.2V straight off the charger and need to be recharged when they reach 3.6V (or before)

To test the resistance of an atomiser.

1. Set the multimeter dial to the 200 Ω setting.
2. Touch the probes together and make a note of the reading (should be around 0.1-0.5 Ω)
3. Place the red probe on the centre post of the atomiser and place the black probe on the threads, hold them steady and take the most stable reading.
4. Subtract the reading obtained in step 1 from the reading obtained in step 3 and this is your atomiser resistance.
