My Boka Build... need some advise.

Post by Austin Nichols »

OK I'm going to build a dual slanted plate Bokabob out of 2 inch 50mm copper and have a couple of questions before I get started.

I've decided after a lot of reading that I will build a liebig for cooling the distillate due to all the posts saying the output gets pretty warm.

So! can I space the plates in the head further apart to allow a connection to the liebig with 1/2 inch pipe, and will doing this effect the performance of the still ?

Also, thanks to Rad my brain is really hurting after he mentioned a boka / VM combo, I've searched and looked almost every where but couldnt find anything about such a combo.
Now I presume Rad meant building two still heads, but then I'm thinking maybe he meant putting the VM system on the Boka head???? forgive my stupidity please as I was born this way :lol: but can someone pleas clarify this for me.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get further along but I'm pretty confident I can build it without too many dramas, and I promise to take pics of any fuggups for you all to see, along with pics of my build as it progresses.

I already have

1M of 2 inch
1M of 1.5 inch
1m of 1 inch
1m of 1/2 inch
half a meter of 3/8 or 5/16 inch
and a few assorted caps, reducers and elbows
a 1/2 inch compression fitting ball valve for coolant flow
and another meter of 2 inch on it's way

Cheers, Allan.
