Measuring Resistance on a Clearomizer

[Bebop]

I'm using a standard ohmmeter

I believe i'm measuring by touching the center post and then the outside ring. (Looking inside the clearomizer where battery connects.)

Does it matter if the tank is full?

The reason I'm doing this is to isolate what coils to buy based on vaping experience. Every once in a while I just get that right combination of juice,coil, and voltage and I just want to know what it is. Also recently I recieved some coils marked 2.4 but they measured 2.0 and 2.1

How likely will resistance change with the span of coil life?

Resistance will change indefinitely. The older the coil the lower the resistance gets in my experience. If it starts dropping drastically I know it's time to Change the coil. I have never tried to measure the resistance drop on a clearomizer. But you would have to touch the center post and the outer ring and fire the battery to get your drop.

You are measuring correctly but the liquid would lower the resistance.And a used one would likely be different than a similar new one,

Thanks guys.

FWIW many meters will not zero out.

Touch the probes together and note any reading (if there is one). This number then needs to be subtracted from the atty reading you get.

My meter shows 0.3Ω with only the probes touching each pther, which is basically the resistance of the probes themselves..

Giod tip. I didnt think to check that.
