Catfish Atty Mods the next Chapter

[Magaro]

Received my FIRST Coil Master 521 Tab today. Fortunately, a replacement was shipped before I even received this one. Apparently they undercut the threads in the 510 connector, because about half of my attys won't screw into it. Seems like a pretty useful desktop device for the price once they get the quality control issues under control.

Anybody know the correct bolt size to chase threads in a 510? Worth a try since they don't want this one back. Otherwise I'll just try using the build deck of an atty that doesn't fit that I don't really care about.

Heh, same deal here - bummer too. Looks so awesome

Cool thing is that they replaced it before it even arrived. Pretty good customer service. Probably never should have shipped, but hopefully they learn. I suspect they will.

Toasty in there. Just my typical, nuthin' fancy.
Just curious - any notable differences on the authentic?

Received this sexy little parallel 18650 box from BCBoxMods today. For some reason, it sang a siren song to me.

I don't know the size, but they are sending me another one two.

510 thread size is 7mm x .5mm

Just spent 5 or 10 minutes patiently chasing the threads on my Coil Master 521 Tab with a couple of old attys that didn't screw down properly. All better. Time well spent.

What did you do?? Some of mine fit and some don't.

Find an old atty that doesn't screw down properly. Screw it down as far as it goes easily. Unscrew it, and then screw it down again. Repeat many times. Each time it should go down a little further. The freshly cut threads of the 510 are most likely softer than the threads of the atty. They will slowly deform and wear away to the size necessary to allow the atty ( and others) to screw down properly. Like I said, it only took me a few minutes. Be patient. Good luck.

I have an authentic and a clone. The only difference I notice is, the AFC ring fits better on the authentic.

Thanks will give it a try

Where did you order from? TKS!

Pretty much everyone that ordered directly from coil master (during their initial run) is getting a replacement whether or not you got a bum unit. The 510 on mine is fine and takes all the atties that I've had trouble with in the past.

I know sendins aren't your main gig right now, but would you consider a send in comp Kennedy (authentic)

Yes but I will have to make a new center post much like the first run of derringers, I'm not sure of how much it will be but in the $45-60 range.

The biggest difference is the center post. The authentic is made of much better steel. The clone, if built frequently will strip the post and it will spin.

Would be down for the rouge, if there's a certainty the centre post won't spin. I loooooooove the rouge and the spinning centre post is the only reason why it's been sitting on my tray untouched

Any of you guys have thoughts on how the coil master 521 compairs to the usa fire meter?

I'm trying to figure out if that pun was intended or not...

That aside, how much is it looking like it's gonna be?
