What is the generic name for a coil tester with a 510 connection?

And are there any brands that y'all would recommend?

510 ohm meter.
How much do you want to spend? I'm personally planning to get the coil master 521 tab when funds are available for it. Geekvape makes one kind of like it, without the leads to check wire resistance. But it checks ohms, has a nice build deck and can fire the coil. The coil master is around $40, the Geekvape is around $30.
The normal ohm checkers start around $5 and go up from there. But keep in mind, you will get what you pay for!

I'm usually a buy once, cry once kinda guy. So I'm with you on the "you get what you pay for" front.

I have at least one stand alone multi meter, though I'm not sure if it will read resistances less than 1 Ohm.

I've seen the Geekvape one but I wanted others to compare it to. Thanks for the info.

Vapor Crawler shows me the Coil Master 521 as low as $30.

Yup, it pays to shop around on this stuff, but what's shipping? Have to keep that in mind as well.

Funny, I just purchased a Coil Master 521 TAB today directly from the source. They're having a 20% off sale today (so it was $39.99) and shipping was free.

I've heard the coil master ones don't hold up too well over time. USA Ohm Meters also come highly recommended (usaohmmeters.com).
