Coilmaster 521 Mini Deal

[UlkaHuren]

Came across this at 50% off at Lightning Vapes. Any of these good ohm readers are hard to find or discontinued and I’m wary of the clones I’ve come across. Sale ends at Midnight est. I’ve been using the cheap eleaf for years and it’s getting sketchy. lol

I have that one. I got it from fasttech for $20 bucks.

I saw it at LV for $9 and snagged it. I put up with the old eLeaf thing for far too long. lol

Is this like or the same as your old one? I have a very similar one, but it has the coil master logo on it. The voltage male connector came out of the case but is still connected. The power switch no longer works at all, I mean it feels fine but won't allow the device to power on any more. I eventually may take it apart and replace the switch, but I'm not in too much of a hurry to do so.

Yup. That’s the one. I used contact cleaner under the power switch a couple years back when it stopped working. This 521 Mini will be a nice upgrade for $9. The eLeaf has more than run its course. lol

Ya, I might try some contact cleaner on it. The leaf may have just gotten a bit dirty but maybe there's just no contact goin' on in there. It would probably just be easier to use another switch in it's place though since I have several spares in my 'electrical junk box'. Certainly wouldn't look pretty though, with the replacement switch hangin' out the side.. That's what duct tape is for..

Tried out the Coil Master 521 Mini V2 today to build a Troll RTA. This is much better! The ohm reading is spot on and being able to fire the coils is very nice.

 

[flavourchaser]

nice

Glad you are liking it!

I got one of these recently -- can't speak to longevity, but it works nicely so far.

 

[UlkaHuren]

Very nice to work on and no need to remove the deck until it’s done. The eLeaf was like building on a matchbox. lol

 

[stols001]

I like mine. I have (quite obviously) leaked on it on several occasions. It keeps trucking. I like it mostly as a stable base that I can leak all over instead of my expensive mods but mine reallyhas held up well. Etc

I bought the geekvape tab to compare with the latest coil master 521 V2 and I found the coil master to be more accurate in reading coil resistance. I use my DNA and YIHI devices as a benchmark. I also find the geekvape tab pro to fire much quicker than the coilmaster. YMMV

I went through quite a few ohm readers from various brands. My last one was a coil master, it worked well for a while but now getting an accurate reading is impossible. If you touch the deck, the ohms change. If you loosen it or tighten it at all, even just a hair, it gives a completely different reading. There is no way to tell what the true reading is. I gave up on ohm readers.

I ended up using an old cheap single battery mod (eleaf Aster) It's been much more reliable over a longer period of time and gives me the same ohm readings as my DNA mod.

It sounds like the 510 threads are oxidized or there is a bad internal connection.

I cleaned it, and took it apart for inspection. I found nothing obviously wrong like loose wires, dirty connections, or damaged wire insulation.
