Now, if I can just figure out why the 510 spins freely, I'll be one happy vaper.
You could try slipping a small o-ring onto the 510 screw to add some resistance. Adjustable pins often have one for this reason.

Maybe I missed what he was talking about, if you try to screw it in all the way it just spins. If it's turning when mounting and dismounting on the mod then an o-ring should help.
Or perhaps I misunderstood. If so, I apologize.
Mine doesn't spin when fully tightened, the JC spring seems to exert enough pressure on the nut to prevent that. But if his spins even so, I would think that adding an o-ring and tightening it to compression would exert constant pressure outward against the screw and help to keep it still.
I'm not getting much variance in resistance between open and closed, on my Taifun Eye mod it's 1.2Ω open and 1.3Ω closed.
On my DNA 40 it's 1.18Ω open and 1.26 closed.
I haven't tried ni200 in the k4 as yet.
I recall someone earlier in this thread, having sorted out the free-spinning 510 pin...
Apparently if the airflow grub screw is backed too far out, it causes the 510 pin to spin...my guess is that the 510 pin can't thread all the way in, when the grub screw is too far out.
It's not only the grub screw. My 510 used to spin. I just disassembled the base, cleaned it well, and when I screw the 510 pin, with my fingers I pushed the nut down. I'm sure if I force turn the pin it will turn again, but I kept on turning with a screwdriver until it stopped. I didn't exert anymore force.I recall someone earlier in this thread, having sorted out the free-spinning 510 pin...

I can't see why or how a spinning 510 pin is normal...
It has a little insulator on it, and threads into a nut...therefore it should stop spinning when it is properly threaded into that nut.
If mine were to be free-spinning, as a mechanic, I would take it apart and figure out why.

It should be snug...
It will freely spin because the threaded square block of steel that Y'All are referring to as a nut sits inside of a plastic insulator that has a circular outside finish.
Thus nowhere or nothing to stop its movement.
All very clearly illustrated in the parts breakdown.
Have a look see. Can be found on page 1
In My Opinion, Jim
I refer to it as a nut because Svoemesto calls it a nut.
The included diagram: part #11...UC counter nut.
You are 100% correct....nut sits in insulator(#10) which is circular and can spin.
