Posative connection is the center pin on the connector negative is the rest of the connection. There is a piece of plastic between the 2
So put 1 lead on the bottom of the pin and 1 on the top should be 0 resistance or low .1 ect.
Then put 1 lead on the bottom outside part and 1 on the end that the atomizer screws onto also should be no or very low resistance.
Next to check for a short you can put 1 lead on the posative pin and the other on the body of the connector.
Finally screw the atomizer onto the connector. Then put 1 lead on the posative pin and the other on the outside body of the connector. This should have basically the same resistance as the atomizer. I am testing a 2 ohm 901 atty using this method and it reads 2.1 ohms when I test the atty off the connector it is 2.0.
Hope this helps.

Ontop of the 510 avs connector -- yup.
I got an atty to fire...... once in the past couple of hours

On the bottom of the AVS atomizer connector there is a center pin (positive post) , check and see if it's tightened enoughf to make contact with the atomizers center post.
It is designed to be threaded in or out, how ever you need it.

Thanks so much Poppa D and fright... Finally got it to fire! The solution was as both of you said -- the center post of the AVS
Glad you're up and running Wig! With that out of the way, I think you'll find the AVS more than adequate until Imeo has time to make more UFS. 
And this is one of the best parts of the GG family - If you need help, all you have to do is post on it. The wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it in this group is amazing.

It just isn't firing at all? I wonder if there is a short in the connector cap somewhere is it possible it stopped after you changed the battery or it got loosened or tightened a bit?
Yup -- I had to lossen it up completely and then after I re-did it, It wasn't firing. But it did fire a couple of times... so I don't think there is a short (I may be wrong lol)
wigglr,
I understand that the illustrations in this post may not be like yours as it is for a 901 atomizer and not the 510 Atomizer (I do not have the 510 adapter to illustrate). But the basic principle is still the same.
1.) Screw Atomizer (Figure 1-7) onto Center Post Mount (Figure 1-3). Do not use Vaseline on this connection and make sure it is tight.
2.) Screw Center Post Standoff (Figure 1-4) into Center Post Mount (Figure 1-3). Do not over tighten as it will make it hard to take apart in future.
3.) Screw Center Post (Figure 1-5) into Center Post Standoff (Figure 1-4) until it is tight.
4.) Using a Multi-meter, check the resistance between the Center post (Figure 1-5) and the Center Post Mount (Figure 1-3). The resistance value should be the same as the atomizer +/- 0.2 ohm.
5.) Place O-ring (Figure 1-6) over the Atomizer and slide it down until it is at the base of the atomizer. (NOTE: I am not sure if this is used with the 510 Adapter. So, you may need to skip this step)
6.) Apply a very thin coat of Vaseline to the threads of Center Post Mount (Figure 1-3) and screw it into the the bottom of the AVS tank (Figure 1-1) tightly.
7.) Using a Multi-meter, check the resistance between the Center post (Figure 1-5) and the side of the AVS tank (Figure 1-1). The resistance value should be the same as the atomizer +/- 0.2 ohm.
8.) Assemble the Collection Tank (if not already done) using a "thin coat" of Vaseline on all threads and the O-rings.
9.) Using a Multi-meter, check the resistance between the Collection Tank Center Post (Figure 2-2). The resistance should be infinity (meaning an open contact ad no shorts).
10.) Attach the AVS Tank Assembly (No liquid in tank and no top cap yet) to the Collector Tank Assembly.
11.) Using a Multi-meter, check the resistance between the Collection Tank Center Post (Figure 2-2) and the side of the Collection Tank (Figure 2-9). The resistance value should be the same as the atomizer +/- 0.2 ohm.
If everything checks out based on these instructions, then the problem is not the AVS tank. If you are using Protected Batteries, make sure that you are not over tightening the telescope as this could cause damage to the little circuit board in the top of the battery. The battery may still work with a crack in the PC board, but if you apply just a bit too much pressure, it wont work.
Hope this helps, if it don't, let us know an we will try again.

Lol I'm back to it not firing!!

Excelent step by step Zoranth! And you are right no 0 ring is required according to manual and the video's I've seen.
Thanks so much Zoranth -- I should have some tonight to thoroughly follow your directions and I will check in!

Is there a way to combine the steps with the schematic and have one file? There will be someone else who needs the troubleshooting steps so it would be great to have both together.
I will see about combining the files and include the steps. Thank you for suggesting this

Yeah....those graphics are like magic to me; I have no clue how something like that is done. To be able to "look inside" and also know what goes where is fantastic.
Ok, I created a Single PDF file with all of the instructions and Illustrations included. Here is a Link to the PDF:
