Dotmod rta not reading

[Eggwhite6]

So I just picked up a 24mm rta from dotmod, and I can't get it to read on my ohm meter or mod. I've also tried both pins that came with it. I'm not really sure what the problem is or what else I can do. Is anybody able to help me out?

Edit: When I put the rta on the ohm meter without coils, the ohms seem to bounce randomly and stop. with coils on it I can't seem to get a reading at all.

What kind of coils are you using?

Is the actual tank all singed down correctly? I'm not familiar with that rta, but in some, if the base is not completely tightened to the deck, the 510 screw may not be making good contact. Just seems like it has something to do with the 510 screw.

Multimeter on Ohms.
Measure the centre pin of 510 to internal terminal of atty.
Measure outside of 510 to internal ground pin of atty.

Both should return close to zero Ohms (same reading as when you touch the probes together).

If you find one of them is high, then the fault is along that path.
If both return zero, then you are looking at the connection between mod and atty.

Just thinking, have you tried taking one coil off to see if it reads? Or perhaps tried a different coil? Something just to pinpoint and know for sure it's not the coil you have on there now

Unfortunately I don't have a multimeter. I switched coils and moved around the positive block, I seem to be getting a reading every time now. Hopefully it stays this way haha. Thanks vapedivvr and oomee, u guys are awesome.
