BTW Papaw...I pluck on the bass guitar from time to time...that is where the name comes from, the instrument. 
There's dodgy people hang out in the Reo Lounge i heard...but a post of your own will get a lot more "oohs and ahhs" from people that already have a mod like yours or want one!
All because some old trucker fancied a dual coil! LOL

...and I always had you pegged as a bass fisherperson
LOL....well fishing is fun too, but not enough to name myself after it. Besides, I am a fishing noob so I have not earned any fishing stripes...bass or otherwise...DOH!
I'm not too happy right now. My nuppin' came today, along with new imr 2200 20amp batts and omnitester (from rtdvapor) The omnitester is useless! It won't read the resistance of any of my attys! Not the RM2s, not the kayfuns... I put an old evod on it and it did read that 
I was going to start building the nuppin but now I don't have anything to check resistance unless my build is .8Ω or above. (using a provari as a resistance checker) The well seems way too deep to make a connection to make a reading. The description stated that this thing will read any 510 atty but it doesn't at all.
I emailed rtdvapor through their website and asked for advise on what to do because I essentially spent $20 on a piece of junk!

Can you attach an ego adapter to it and screw it into the reader?
Kind of a cheesy work around...but might work...
Because, I am silly like that....going to try it myself.
(sent from Mars, it's not as red as I imagined.)
Also....make sure it is charged and the switch is on ohms not volts.
OH wait...you did get a reading on another atty...must be on ohms...

Ok a naughti reads 1.7 ohms with and without the ego adapter....so if it is a short pin issue the adapter will help.

it doesn't work with an ego adapter either... just reads 0.0
If it's not reading ---- then it reads 3.1 3.4 4.5 and so on. I tried to find a good, solid tester. This is the one on Baditudes's blog. This thing HAS to be defective!

Well, maybe not if it reads anything at all....maybe tighten the screws on the build? Does the build read on the 'vari? If the build reads on the 'vari, I would say charge the omni all of the way. I had trouble with mine until it was fully charged.
WalMart, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. has Digital Display Multi Tester for $20 or less. These include several Ohms ranges. Just set for the lowest Ohm Range, touch the ends of the leads together to get a Variance reading. Mine is usually 0.3 ohms, so I subtract 0.3 from whatever the final reading is. Touch the ends of the leads to the top of the posts, and you will get an Ohm reading across the installed coil. If I am building two coils, I check both coils to ensure they are the same resistance (ohms).
Donnah - If your reading is fluctuating wildly, it might not be your tester, it could be a faulty spot with the wire you are using. I would throw that coil away and try to wrap another. If your tester still fluctuates, then it's the tester. DDM is the way to go to check Ohms !

Thanks... forgot about my multimeter. I used to use it on regular attys. I just dug it out and found that for once, I didn't forget to turn it off last time I used it LOL.
Hmmm... got it built. Both coils came out to 1Ω. Both coils are lighting up more or less at the same time. Since I'm grandless at the moment, I put it on the Roller and am dripping in it. I don't know yet.... it's kinda hot. Not at all what I'm used to (stock RM2) I know the coils aren't real pretty. I'm not sure if both coils are exactly the same. The problem with testing this on a multimeter is there are no posts in the nuppin... Not exactly. I'll play with it some more tomorrow. 
You could take a measurement on the bottom of the atty - with one probe on the centre pin and the other on the 510 threads.
