Are those numbers from the mod read out? The rx200 isn't very accurate in the voltages it shows. Measure the batteries with a multimeter and I'm sure you'll find that they are very close in charge.

I'll have to go out and get another one this weekend seemed to have lost mine.

I've been through this recently, and the voltmeter in the RX200 is inaccurate. It showed a 0.14 difference in voltage between cells when after using a multimeter they were within 0.1 of each other.
Just today I bought an Efest Luc V4 and after a full charge, with the RX200's voltmeter they read 4.94, 4.91, 4.94. If you're using the onboard RX200 charging though, they could possibly be varying that much, or less, or more. You won't know for sure unless you use a voltmeter.

Any mods that I have with removable batteries never get charged on board period. I just pop them into my xtar VP4 for charging. After a full charge my RX wasn't as inaccurate as what you're showing. I had 4.24 4.19 4.21 showing on mine.
 
Have you tried cleaning the 510?
I had the exact problem a while ago with my VTC mini on temp control which uses the same 510. My coil was 0.51ohm SS 316L, once in a while it would pop up with "new coil 0.56ohm". I took off the tank and removed the battery, used a q-tip with some 99% isopropyl alcohol and swabbed around the 510, the q-tip looked dirty after I was done. Cleaned the 510 off with a tissue, let everything dry. Problem never returned.

From that point on I try to make it a habit to clean the 510 every once in a while.

I've never gotten really dirty, but I did give it a good cleaning yesterday and still the same. Anyway, I'm just going to leave this here:
Update on RX200 510 issue. Wismec responds. • /r/electronic_cigarette

I don't understand why they couldn't have just spent the pennies to put a decent 510 on this thing to begin with. Anyway, I think I'm done with all these Chinese mods and am going to put together my own dna200. At least I know the quality of the device will be solid.

I'm going to charge my batteries soon, so I'll edit this with the correct voltages my batteries are at, but the voltmeter on the RX200 is a bipolar one. It ranges from showing evenly like that, to showing a 0.13 difference, never goes above 0.13 though. Right now they're 3.55, 3.44, 3.56. Just did it again and it changed to 3.56, 3.43, 3.56. You really can't trust the RX200 :p

Edit: Batteries were within 0.03 of each other.

Has anyone gotten their hands on the new Red RX200? Any differences such as a better 510 connection?

As far as I know, they're exactly the same besides the colored paneling. Any variation in better 510 connection and other things are due to a better or worse put together product as I'm sure these are mass produced in a factory and some are bound to come out slightly wonky. My black RX200's front panel is slightly inward on the bottom left side, as long as it functions fine though, that's all I care about.

I literally ordered and received my black RX200 a few days after I saw the announcements on the new color variations for the mod. You could imagine my facepalming, because that red on black is classy :p

I'm looking hard at the red and black one because...a) it's the colors of my alma mater...b) I need a mod for all those 25mm tanks I'm coveting and c) I have shineyitis.:blink:

It's a fantastic mod besides for the integrated voltmeter and onboard charging, I love mine and don't see myself buying any other mod for it anytime soon :)

I may buy an RBA for it though, after I get all this DIY'ing stuff together and start that. I like the idea of not having to spend $2.50 per coil!

I saw a pic of someone turning one into a bottom feeder. To do so they removed one of the three batteries....I am wondering how they made it run on only two :p

They used the DNA 200 board which will run on two batteries but at 133w which is a function of the DNA. No one (that I have seen) has used the RX200 board.

The 510 connector still sucks.

In fact mine is so bad I'm debating on either sending it back for a replacement or replacing the 510 connector myself. Since it's only a few days old I'm tempted to send it back, but I'm afraid that the next one I got would be just as bad. I love the rest of the mod, but the 510 in mine is only 3.25mm deep, and none of the atomizers I own sit flush in it. (If you look close you'll notice that I'm using a neoprene washer under the tank) The pin in the connector seems to be leaning and there is very little travel on the spring.

I'm very seriously considering getting a black low profile 510 connector and swapping it out.

Yep put them on the charger and they were.01 from each other so the discharge is fine but like you said the onboard voltmeter is shiiiieeeeeeeeettt.

By the way anyone wanting to buy an RX200 fasttech is having a store wide 10% off over easter think I'm gonna get the white one! Brings it down to about $36.50 it's to good to pass up and get another one for that price.
