Thanks for the advice on the 25rs! Are Busardo's vids on the SXM about as good as anything to learn the basic ins & outs of the SXM?

Someone mentioned this a few days ago "sale on SXM at breazy.com" This is where I ordered mine from over a week ago. They came in Friday & they are sending mine 2-day shipping(free). Will be here Monday. I have never ordered from here either but I couldn't pass up the price. I didnt read the posts on here about "sale" SXMs not being eligible for warranty" until a day or 2 ago. So hopefully everything with the company will be ok. I will give an update good or bad when I get it for future reference.
Nice. I really hope breezy.com works out. It's always good to find additional vendors to buy our toys from. Your going to love your SXM!
I watch all PB's videos and he does have some excellent information on the SXM. Especially his lab testing. What I didn't like about his usage of the SXM was that he primarily put his Joules settings at the 50J setting which I feel is way too high. I believe with the SXM it is better to find your temperature and just use enough Joules to keep your temperature steady. Too little and you won't achieve the temp you want. Too much and the mod will be fighting to keep the excessive power under control to keep your temp set correctly. When it is too high you will find the temperature gauge jumping as much as 40F over your temp and then bouncing all around. Set it just right and you will see it be very stable and a smooth vape as a result.
Hey that looks just like one of mine also skinned and wrapped all but the STM I have on mine. The sleeve slips up a little but it's really not a big deal I hear the ones from YiHi do the same. I got some double sided tape which will take care of that but it really doesn't bother me that much.First tank is the UD Zephyrus and the second tank is the Billow v2. Both are real awesome tanks but I steer more towards Billow v2.
The mod is the SX M....skinned and wrapped to avoid paint coming off again. Here's a pic of the front:
I'm not a fan of high wattage as well. With TC, I don't think I need to shoot up that high. My joules is usually set somewhere between 20J to 30J.
I agree I just use 390 12J on a .07-.08 coil. brings it right up to temp. I think I will have to use a little more with the 26 Ti.
What makes you steer more toward the Billow V2? Curious, as I have a Zephyrus and atm its my favorite dual coil RTA type tank. But..haven't tried the Billow V2.
I am hearing that VariTube will get the Yihi silicone sleeves in on Monday. Not sure yet on the price.
Yeah, I am now at 26J on my Ti dual coil Zephyrus. With the Lemo 2 on NI200 it was generally 22J.
Probably not the best choice, unless your cloud chasing. The SX tube cannot be used in Temp Mode.
Yeah, you can still use it in Joules mode, just has no added benefit. I'll be using it for strictly cloud chasing with builds capable of 120W+ in power mode though. More curious about installation than anything, I think I did it right, but the instructions aren't the best.
My new j wrap came in the mail. Sexy as ever

Very nice looking!!!
I was just looking at a few .................. but they won't keep me from dinging up the edges. I might need to consider a Sleeve - as soon as they get a Clear available.
Thanks!
I hear you there about not protecting the edges. I'm pretty careful with my stuff so I'm not too worried about it. I just got it to protect from scratches and was tired of the boring black on silver look.

Well Gents and Ladies,,, Success!
Built the Lemo 2 with a 5/4 Wrap (spaced naturally by hand-wrapping on the Bit), 26 GA Ti, on 7/64" Bit (used that as it is 2.78 mm so figured after the "sping-back" increase in dia. would end up right at 3mm), which yielded 0.23 ohms. Actually it "dressed up" not bad and didn't ding my OCD much at all.
Wicked her up with some good ol' Organic Hellifino Cotton following the Tips and "How-Tos" on Reviews from those who love the Lemo 2 and aren't whining about Dry Hits or Flooding or Leaking. Figured they were the ones who knew how to properly build and wick since they weren't crying and blaming the Device for their own shortcomings.
Loaded with Liquid, locked it to the SX, locked in the Resistance, set the SX to Ti Profile, 390* F, 25 J, and Lit 'er Up.
Very Nice. Very Nice indeed.
She purred along great and zero issues with Dry Hits or Flooding. Just nice warm flavorful Vapor.
I had seen where cranking the Top Cap down can lead to leaking issues by compressing the lower O-ring out and deformation. So just tightened to "Taut". Did leak a tad from the lower Glass to Bottom Cap joint. So tightened the Top Cap down another 1/2 turn and no leaking since then at all.
Now, it did work awesome for a couple hours. Let it sit for an hour or two, then fired it up and same Lethargic Vape and overall Performance no matter what J or Temp or Mode same as it did initially with the RDA.
Switched to Ni200 Profile at 17.5J and 285* F and she Lit back up and is Vaping Great and the TC is humming along beautifully. Again, same as with the RDA when first upgraded the Firmware (as I reported earlier in this Thread).
Since did the same Thing, on 2 different Devices, with 2 different Builds, and having gone through all the Steps properly; safe to assume the Ti TC Test Firmware (for whatever reason) just isn't functioning on my SX as it should and is for some others.
I may try a trick I saw on one Lemo TC review (some Russian Dude I think who seemed to really know his Shinola). He switched the Lemo bottom Pin out with a Copper Pin from a Herakles. Said made a TON of difference on maintaining Static Resistance. That, as was pointed out by the Ti Master Senseis earlier, could be the Culprit on my Ti Profile Issues.
But, since it is working fine on the Ni200 Profile, the probability is maybe 50/50 at best. There is a possibility that the Test Firmware is just that finicky and touchy though. So worth a try if I can locate and procure a Pin from a Herakles. Time to go hunting.
Anyways, Success on the Lemo 2 26 GA single Coil build and its Performance. Give 2 Thumbs up to it and really digging the way it works and is designed. Great in TC and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good all around RTA for their TC Mod.
Just wish it was Black to match. Sure as with their earlier Lemo Versions, they will have a black one soon. I got Aesthetics Issues.... real Badly.

Lemo 2 sucks.
I could build it just fine, its just terribly designed. They completely failed at what they were trying to do.
In my personal opinion, here's some comparison between zeph:
pros:
- large capacity tank
- material and build quality
- the deck is easier to built
- not as prone to leak if wicked correctly
- air flow is very smooth
- easy to access build deck without requiring to drain juice
Cons:
- bottom filling (pampered by lemo and zeph)
- air flow is not as open as zeph or the lemo2 but it's airy enough without sacrificing on flavor
- bulging glass tank increases the chance of cracking if drop. No spare glass included in package.
This is what I can think of about the tank. In terms of flavor and cloud, it's on par or better than zeph depending on build. Ultimately, the main thing I dislike about zeph is the condensation leak thru the airflow ring to the 510 base. I chain vape frequently and I have to keep removing the tank to wipe of the liquid from the base.
Cool, thanks for the comparison. Less airflow than the lemo 2? That'd be pretty aenemic. Thanks for saving me $35.
The airflow is somewhat more restrictive than the Lemo 2...possibly the max airflow on the B2 is similar to 3 quarter of the airflow in the lemo2. However, the airflow is very smooth compared to both lemo 2 and Zeph which can be harsh and can blur out the flavor. I personally think it's decent enough.
Again, all tanks are based on personal preferences. Honestly, I wanted a tank with single coil and had the juice port and wicking method similar to zeph and B2. The Lemo 2 is a really good tank and I do love it but it doesn't perform well on max vg (without modification).
