Non gratuitous family shot...( a size comparison if you will)
Whiteout conditions right out of the gate...( Family gone!)
Let me start off by saying that the anticipation of the end product was certainly worth the wait. This is one killer mod for sure. Tom took his time to do it right and it shows. This thing hits like an oncoming train and had my eyes rolling back in my head on the very first pull. It is surely not for the faint of mod. Tom, you hit it out of the park my brother and for this, I cant Thank You enough. Simply put, this thing is one ba'dass vape! It's going to take a bit to play with all the bells and whistles within the chip itself, but for now, The TMod SXj flat out rocks...

Found this. Just figured I'd share...

So after reading the manual and then having it click that Tom had mentioned 0.065 ohms and the book saying that, that resistance is optimum for TC, off I went. Grabbed a second Stumpy this time wrapping a 26g 3mm 7/6 and locking in at 0.065 with the same temp and reducing the joules a bit from 28 to 25.
Interesting that while the 0.065 7/6 coil gives out a warmer and wetter vapor, the 14/13 0.17 coils smokes it ( no pun intended) in terms of denser vapor production. Flavor? About the same tipping a bit towards the 0.17.( most likely due to the extra contact of the coil wraps to the wick) Cranking the joules back up to 28 with the 0.065 made no noticeable difference as to where dropping the 0.17 down to 25 certainly did. Another interesting thing is that both coils hit the target temperature fairly accurately when checking the display. Right now I'd have to say that I enjoy the 0.17 build more, so back to it I went. Did I mention that I'm really digging this mod?
The tinkering continues....

Distorto, any comment on battery life? Nice looking nickel builds. How would you compare the overall TC vapor and flavor versus a mechanical vape?So after reading the manual and then having it click that Tom had mentioned 0.065 ohms and the book saying that, that resistance is optimum for TC, off I went.

Could you explain, please? Do you wrap a touching coil first, then chase between the wraps with the blade?
Rudawg wrap a coil free hand so it's lose then squeeze it together and it will spring back open, squeeze again and repeat this process until the spacing is right. I only use a blade if necessary to separate the coil if some are too close or to make spacing seven. Dist cooks above is how they should look, the original coil should start lose, maybe 1 to 1.5mm spacings wrapped on a 2.5 or 3mm mandreal. It's not difficult if using tempered wire

Battery life has been quite impressive using a fresh LG HG2. ( 3000 mah) when compared to a dna40 device. Was able to burn through about 2/3 of a bottle before changing it out and it still had a bit of go left in it. Comparing TC to a straight up mech is two different worlds. Both are a great way to vape, but a mech has a certain rawness about it as to where TC seems to be a bit more refined. The biggest advantage of TC is of course the lack of a dry hit. Some liquids do great in TC as others, not so much. With that being said, don't see myself ever giving up my mechs over straight up regulated anything and will simply continue to enjoy them both.
From my experience its best to email TBev. And most often he will only respond late at night/early in the morning for me.
Send me an email and I will send you his. As I recall he doesn't post his email address.
Never mind... I sent it to you already.

RD, As you already know, I use a jewelers lopping mandrel to freehand wrap all of my coils. The above coils were wrapped fairly tightly together though not quite as much as a pinched and after being tensioned ( by holding the coil to the mandrel and pulling on each leg with a fine pair of needle nosed pliers) mounted in the atty and then gently spacing the loops with the blade.
Thank you @distortoblotto . Great looking coils there. I might have to get a cheap TC mod to try, see if I wanna pony up the big bones for a SXj Tmod!!
My absolute favorite thing about the sx mod is the ability to increase your ramp up. I don't really have a problem with dry hits, I think as a classic "over squonker" dry hits are the least of my worries. My favorite way to run the sx mods is in kanthal mode with a nichrome build in power fu+ mode. That's the most aggressive ramp up enhancing mode. Even with a low sub ohm build I haven't been able to get a faster ramp up on anything. It's like a fog machine just jamming vapor in my mouth... I like that sorta thing.

I have to agree with Tom. Even in TC mode, power fu+ ( love this designation by the way..
) it hits right now when you hit the go button. In fact, I would also have to agree that this thing ramps up faster then any sub ohm mech I own. The beauty of this chip is that it is adjustable to the point that it can produce a great vaping experience for everyone. Even the tootle puffers would derive an excellent level of enjoyment from this unit as well.

1.2ohm is perfect, nice big coils, the chip has the power to light up anything so the bigger the coils the better in my opinion. I will say that I try not to go with a bigger Guage wire than 24ga say, because I think the bigger wire hold the heat in longer and makes for a hotter vape (which I don't like)

Prolly did mean 0.12ohm but either way in tc mode because the wire has such low red I like to get as much res in the coils as possible, especially running duals (halfing your res). You also wanna make sure your locking in your res. That's the difference between no and titanium, Changing res with temp, but it also takes place, on a smaller and therefore negligible scale, to kanthal, you just don't need to because it's not as big of a difference.
The larger your coils are the more surface area your vaporizing juice on so if your device has the power to push big coils that's the way yoy want to go, the j board definitely has the power.

That's why I questioned the 1.2. I mean, it of course can be done and would work quite well, but it would be kind of like putting a Pinto motor in a Corvette when it comes to the TSX. Surely it would work just fine in joules mode but what's the point? The only time I ever build anything anymore to 1.2 is when I decide to fire up one of my trusty old Provari 2.0's which I still do enjoy on occasion. On the other hand, TC is a whole different ball game. With the different ramp up settings and the TC and joules settings in the SXj, there's plenty of room there to dial in the vape for whatever a person's vape style may be which was really where my thoughts were to begin with.
I've played around with different coil diameters in my TC mods from 1.5 mm to 4 along with dualy's as well. Except for the one strand dual verts that I put together in one of the Stumpy's, I've found that a straight up 3mm single coil is what seems to work best for me. In the case of the Catfish Thump's, I'm running one of those in TC with a 3mm single and both afc's wide open ( as you can't shut one side down) and that little atty kicks some major azz. I'm also in favor of more surface area when it comes to builds myself for the obvious reasons in terms of better flavor. When I run the 2mm's anymore in a mech or regulated non TC device, it's usually doing so with a twisted something or other.
