In my opinion the thinner the copper that the vapor passes thru the better the heat transfer to the water , least that has always been my take on it when building such condensers . I commonly use 1/2 thin as I can find inside 1.25 slightly over kill I know but I dont have to worry so much about gett...

new_moonshiner

elec tape.. I used the insulation on most all of the build for protection on most pieces, I can always remove it and still have my build intact dent free

new_moonshiner

This build I used 18 inches X 1/4 inch very thin wall tubes( not thicker refrigeration tubing) for better heat transfer ..

i c... makes sense .. have you looked ebay ? last time i looked for digitals there was most any kind of thermometer that a person would want there..

new_moonshiner

why would you want a dial when a digital thermometer response time is far better , and not that expensive these days ..

I cut a piece about three inches long , split it , and heated till red .. submerged in cold water.... then very easily pressed it flat .. and the did the drilling the holes.

King, I use the upper assembly to remove fore's and heads ... and the Vm side to collect the hearts ..to me it runs a tad bit faster.. and i think cleaner than if I just used the LM side to do the whole run .. I really dont spend alot of energy on the tails which normally isnt al that much anyways ....
