I have both and haven't used the Gizmo since I got the coil master in about 2 weeks ago. It's just much easier. The Gizmo I really only used at work because I could attach it to my desk. I like that the coil master I can use anywhere, anytime.
Coil Master ?

I've been using the Gizmo and it wraps better than I can do by hand but I'd like to try a Coil Master. If I could also find some kind of gadget to mount coils without messing them up, I'd be in good shape.
One of the things I like better about the coil master, is that the spindle you use to wrap the coil also doubles as a gadget to keep in the coil while you're mounting it, thus avoiding misshaping the coil.
Well dang, now I'm sold.
LOL
I actually have one sitting in a cart, waiting to see if there's any good July 4th sales (I need a couple more batteries, plan to get an XTar charger, and now a coilmaster, too).

I have a coil master and it makes purdy coils.
I noticed that, but kinda like X was saying, I'd MUCH rather have TWO posts, but not sure I really need long posts...
The longer posts make a difference, or is it a case of "this one goes to 11"?
I picked up two V2's for a steal just so I'd have two mandrels to mount duals with. Also, I bungled a few coils using smaller gauges - it seems to work best with 26 and 24 g. Could, of course, just be my ham fists being... well... hammy.

where did you get em for a steal? I've got a v1, but would like to have one that is marked with the sizes. My eyes can't tell the difference between a 2.0 and a 2.5
I haven't used my Gizmo in a few months now since getting the Coil Master V2. I also picked up a generic version of it because I've been experimenting with 3.5mm coils and 4mm RxW and the CMv2 only goes up to 3mm rod. They are much easier to use and produce the same coils for me as I only use thicker wire. They don't do 29g or higher wire very well though IMO. The wire is just too flimsy, but for 26g and 24g wire they rock. I usually just use drill bits or drill blanks for mounting my coils.
I too prefer coil master vs gizmo. I also prefer hand wrapping vs gizmo. Sometimes I prefer hand wrapping vs CM. I'm a good wrapper - but I usually use the CM.
IMRBATTERIES sells the coil master v1 i believe for 10 bucks. their battery prices are really good as well.
Eastside Vapes - 1200 block Kingsway in the city. I took the last two at the time, though (few weeks ago) and a search of their site shows no reference to them. Might have been a one-time experiment?
I gave Jan my gizmo and depended on her kindness to make all coils and wick them because of my arthritis but since the coil master I make all kinds od different type and size coils. On days my fingers are acting up I make the diameters larger as to more easily wick them.
