All righty, the Coilmaster 521 Tab is due to arrive later today. Can't wait to check this thing out. 
Anybody using a 521 tab?

The Coilmaster has landed. Very nicely packaged, packaged well for shipping also from MVS. It seems very sturdy, and everything is working well. I checked a couple builds to see how it reads those builds compared to the ohm checkers I have, and it reads a little differently. Of course the ohm checkers I have vary from one to the other, so these things are just somewhat accurate anyway. One build for instance reads 3.0Ω on a Provari, 2.90 on an ohm checker, and 2.86 on the CM.
I have seen somewhere, don't remember where now, that when you fire the build, you can see it ramp up, then cool down, this doesn't do that.
It is heavy enough, and with the rubber feet it doesn't move around easily, that is a plus. So for about $35.00 shipped, I'm happy with it.

There are two positions on the switch, one way checks ohms, the other way allows you to fire the coil. At least that's the way I've seen it in reviews?
Right. The one I received is apparently a different version than the ones I have seen in reviews. The display is different. It displays only numbers. The ones I have seen have a pipe symbol in the display also, mine does not.
Then something isn't right with it! I'll be interested to hear what the vendor is saying.
If I'm not mistaken, the pipe symbol was on the older version. Mine don't have it either.
I looked at Eciggity's, and CoilMaster's web site, and they show the same one as I have, so apparently it's correct.
There's on for ohm reader (flip switch toward back), off (center), and on and push a button to fire the coil (flip switch toward front).
Apparently then the ability to watch your build ramp up, and cool off went away on the newer versions. Not a big deal, unless you'd like to see it while testing your build, and compare with other builds.
Do you have the switch in the third position and are you pressing the fire button on the top of the unit? The switch has to be on and you have to push the button to pulse the coil. That's my whole reason for wanting one.
Yup, switch in the fire position, and press the button. If you are wanting to see the ramp up, this doesn't do it. Possibly the geekvapes one will, I dunno, might wan to check with someone on that.
Ok, next stupid question, have you tired a known good coil on it?
Yep, I tried several that I'm currently using. Just ran thru a review on the geekvape 521, doesn't look like it does the ramp up thing either.
It doesn't, but this one is supposed to, that's why it's more expensive! That's a deal breaker for me!
Where have you seen that it's supposed to? I was looking earlier for the info that I had seen, but couldn't find it again. It was in a video I'd seen, but apparently it is an older version.
