Hey Firestarter, can you pick out the still you're referring to? https://destylacja.com/destylatory.html
A lot of them look to have short liebigs, but I'm far from an expert.
[Edit: I see you've fixed the link.]

The one in your first post looks like a piss poor excuse for a cm still with an undersized pc, but hard to tell about the PC from a pic.

They claim, from my translation by google... that the condenser will work because.....

"A very efficient steel radiator guarantees that the distillate, even with a very small amount of cooling water, flows out completely chilled."

Also...

"It is an ideal apparatus for people who have no experience in the distillation process. It is very stable and safe.No odors from distilled liquids escape from the apparatus. These devices are devices operating in the open-pressureless system. No pressure inside the camera. The accidental clogging of elements that must be unobstructed is secured by acid-proof perforated steel lids.
It is a camera adapted to kitchen conditions.
We give a 3-year warranty on our cameras."

Not sure if google wants to translate Still into Camera, or theyre trying to be sneaky and skirt some laws by calling it a camera. LOL.

My favorite part, is some of the items they have for sale on the left side, including.. (all directly copied and pasted from the google translated page)
GLASS BALLOONS 5-54L + COCKS
FILTERING BIBULE AND SWEATSHIRTS
BITCH FERMENTATION TANKS
OAK BALLS
ALCOHOLOMETERS, GLUCKERS

Ok, I really would love to see a glass balloon (MIND blown!!"
I'm not sure a Bible would do well for filtering.. maybe a Bibule isn't a spelling error, and something else??
I can think of a Bitch or two i'd like to ferment.... grrrrrr... ex gf...
Oak Balls! Now that just sounds fun... Never seen a ball shaped oak adjunct
And idk Wtf a GLucker is.. but i DEFINITELY need one. or five.

Hmm looks like google does not like polish to english translation :)
Catcrap, yep google got camera instead of still !

At the top of the head there are 3 cold fingers, as google says. 3 condensing tubes traversing the head, like in the old designs.
On the side, there's a coil in a water bath to condensate and cool the vapor.
Nothing fancy here.

There are other designs like this one: https://destylacja.com/pl/p/DESTYLATOR- ... cznym/1732
They call it a VM, and they put a valve at the spirit output ? what for ? Dangerous when you block any of the air or vapor path.

I'd stick with known and tested stills that members here can talk you about.
