If its a standard oil filled Blaster you need to run within 30ยบ of vertical. Horizontal will fry em.
If its a high vibration model 8222 you can run at any angle because they are potted with epoxy.
Don't know whether that's your problem with the one you have but just throwing it out there. :)

Mike is right, run high vibration coil, or carry a spare.High vibration coils will last!

Something I heard was the new blaster coils (red) are now manufactured in Mexico and are prone to fail, there is a sticker on the bottom indicating country of manufacture. The chrome ones are still made in USA and supposedly better quality. BTW I had a new MSD 6 fail at 5 hours use. I had to drift back, that sucked.

To date though we've had no coils fail that I'm aware of recently.
