the problem with the CC still

[manu de hanoi]

Hi guys,
it's flattering to see the CC still is still getting some attention. There is an issue with the still that prevents me from advocating it's use. Control is poor. I think it has to be "linearized" a little bit. Meaning most condensation occurs on the firsts few loops of the condenser.
One solution is to make the condenser inefficient (using ss instead of copper, or running water slow for ex) then you get better control but then the condenser and sleeve have to be very long to catch all the vapors making the still awkward.
I think most condensation occurs at the tip because that's where vapors are most dense. Here's an illustration:

So if you have a good idea let us know.
