Sometimes I get all kinds of weird readings on mine...it's because the tank I'm testing isn't making good contact with the tester. If you have any kind of adapter, try using it between the tank and the tester, or if your tank has an adjustable pin, extend it a little bit. For some tanks, I have to use my air flow adapter to get a good reading.
Make sure you are getting good contact on the 510 connector and also double and triple check your post screws, as they have a tendency to loosen if you touch or move the coil at all...
I would bet that the 510 connection on your tester is a little deeper than standard. Any chance the battery is no good on the tester (grasping at straws here).
I have heard on some you need to use a 510/510 connector to get a good connection because not all atty's have the same length 510 connector. My ohm checker came with one to use just in case.
^^^ Also try fresh batteries mine get weird when it's working off old batteries.
I have a little black box tester like that and some of my RM2's will not make a solid connection unless the bottom centre pin is unscrewed a little. When i am in a good mood - i'll unscrew it a 1/2 turn to get a measurement and then return it to how it was.
It does not stop any of them working on my Reo. If i am not in a good mood and don't feel like farting about, then i just get my multimeter and measure the atty either at the base from that centre pin to the threads on the bottom - or between the two posts the coil fits in.
Specifically i am trying to make certain i do not have a short in my build (bad for springs and batteries!), so i measure it all again with the topcap on - in case a coil is touching it. Paranoia works for me.

The coil readers are dead simple devices and there is probably nothing wrong with it. Bouncing readings usually indicates something wrong elsewhere...conection...screws not tight...loose center post...etc.
Ok so took it back to shop I bought it and different guy said "I hate it you bought this I will refund but it's a total piece of crap and I refuse to sell them." Anyone recommend somewhere to get one that works?

They're on sale at RTD. You can get some AW Batteries that Rob recommends while you're there
I have one....works well!

USA OHM METERS
I have two, love it tested against provari, dead on, reads to .001. Current coil .469.

Thank you! If the one I ordered turns out to be not great, I will try this one next!
Use a voltage meter you can leave the atomizer on the mod . It cant get any simpler then a voltage meter . No wear and tear on your mod and your air hole is already lined up and you can check the voltage of your batteries
This is what I use, its convenient like the voltmeter but its much more precise. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/514385-helpful-diy-ohm-meter-build.html
