christov11 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hey guys. I was just browsing random stuff... fell upon a tankometer. Looks to be an add onto mec mods that go between the mec and the tank. and it reads the voltage you get. Has anyone tried one of these before? Yes I know there are VV mec-ish mods out there but this kinda took me by surprise! it doesnt adjust the voltage, it just reads it to give you the info. I wasnt thinking of buying it since... well its sortof useless unless youre really worried about batteries...i guess. just seems to be a fun trinket and if it was 5-10$ i would probably get it just for the hell of it when my battery is running low or something I DONT KNOW. i probably wouldnt get it unless i would have a legit reason to.... oops just noticed i was thinking "outloud" while typing haha heres the link. http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/RainbowHeaven-new-item-ecigs-volt-meter_1557348718.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvince201 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 They are mainly used to measure voltage drop and can be found at many vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 that link brings you to a supplier site and not a vendor... only site that i can access at work haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I doubt you want to order 50 of them, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Either way now I know where I can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 anyone have one? is it legit? gives you the right readings and whatnot? i would be curious and would probably use it 10 minutes to test my batteries and then leave it in the box to start a dust collection of its own.

Compenstine Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have seen them used before in videos. I have seen the same thing that will do both Voltage and ohms. I just don't trust the accuracy of them as I see how inaccurate the ones on MODs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Can't trust anything made in China. HAHA Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Twisted420 on YouTube uses them all the time. Inline voltage/ohm meter I'm gonna try one not to be a sole meter but why not check battery when using mech mods safer then not. [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtdobies Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Not while your out and about it doesn't, I've had various things like a button stick and didn't know how low it went. This is easily a backup for the battery charger. Edit: [emoji14] so there! Edited August 7, 2014 by Mtdobies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christov11 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 I found it for 30$..... New tanks mods batteries backups and juices are going to get boughten before this, for me anyways! Kindof gaget I wanna play with though.... I think the wife's curiosity rubbed off on me! Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've seen them for much cheaper, but I'm sure the $30 one is probably more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasfriek Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I have the inline voltage meter only and it reads the voltage drop pretty well also. I think I paid $12 for mine locally. Beats taking the battery out of the mod just to check how low it is. Sweet Vapes has the small ohm box you can not only screw your 510 atomizer onto bout you can also screw the who mech into it for a voltage reading also. Rechargeable batteries and charger built in, but I'd say it's not really all that portable. Iirc it will read vw/vv mods also, mine is useless on computer controlled mods.

Dasfriek Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Was at a local shop called Vapor Station Columbus. I'll look for one like it on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasfriek Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 http://sweet-vapes.com/accessories/miscellaneous/volt-ohm-wattage-meter.html That one is much better than mine and I think I need to try. http://sweet-vapes.com/accessories/miscellaneous/smoktech-omnitester.html This is the one I also described.

Mtdobies Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thank you! I didn't see it myself when I looked the last few days grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Those are pretty cool! The more I think about it and the more I'm convincing myself that it's something I will need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Its a convenience and safety meter, I'm going for it. Tonight was the perfect example w my much mod, ran the battery way lower then usual. Having that handy would be helpful. christov11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasfriek Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I use the one I have that just reads voltages several times a day on both of my mechs, but that one is much better. I'm gonna have to buy it too next payday. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
