My killer 705 clone (Rainbow Heaven) cane with a cup, but not a coil. I watched a few vids. Using 2.25 ohm ready wire I tried a few builds. My resistance keeps showing .2 after the build. I think I'm losing the neg ground because when I open it back up, it is not in its place and the nr lead seems shorter.
Any suggestions while I wait for my pack of pre coiled cups?

Okay, so - fair notice, I only have experience with the killer clones sold by venerable, but otoh, based on my watching youtube vids of the real thing - Todd / etc - I'm reasonably confident that it's a pretty close copy.

There's three tube-ish bits, yeah? Top, which I'll call a chimney, middle, which I'll call the cup-receiver, and the bottom, which I'll call airfeed.

When assembling, the positive curls into the bottom of the cup, which then slides over the post in the cup-receiver. The negative, though - I just have that hanging out the side, into one of the cup-receiver's cut-in juice channels. Chimney screws down over that, trapping the negative, and after being fully trapped in the threads, wiggling removes the excess.

Doing it that way, I've never had oddball ohmage issues or continuity issues. I hope that made sense? Are you assembling / building in a different way somehow?

I'm at work so all I have handy are foggers, but I can take pics when I get home - in 8ish hours, or more if I need sleep quickly.

EDIT: are you metering the coils before installing? Metering between rba body and positive pin after?

In that case, it's bloody odd. The wire should get trapped, and maintain continuity... I've never had what you're describing happen, and I (seriously, nice coincidence) built 6 or so killer clones in anticipation of an incoming bayou tank, to test my builds, and I've had each running for a bit since... Never seen this happen. Sorry =(
