I noticed something with my VTR, don't get me wrong I like the device but I want something better for sure. I built a set of coils for my UD AGA-T6 top that according to the VTR was a 1.5 Ω, but my multimeter read 2.9 Ω. Is this a known consistency issue, or am I experiencing an anomaly? I rebuilt today & read 1.9 Ω (1.8 Ω is the sweet spot according to steam engine) and the VTR fluctuates between 0.9 Ω & 1.0 Ω.

I've found that with the VTR + extension tube, resistance readings can get very finicky. The main culprit for me has been dirty threads, either on the male or female 510. But, come to think, that would make the VTR read high, not low.
Maybe a silly question, but have you remembered to subtract the resistance of the leads from the multimeter?

Are you building a dual coil setup? Are you measuring each coil individually with the DMM and then mounted on the VTR? When doing dual coils, the *combined* resistance is half of each individual coil.
I've got a dual coil setup, measuring each individually with leads from multimeter, then threading completed Atty build into the 510 connector I installed on the side of the meter...the variance just seems overwhelming between meter & vtr
My VTR generally reads within .1 ohm of my DMM.
What does it do if you take the reading with the probes and not on the fitting?
