frodo, I think someone posted pics of a similar dephlegmator not too long ago... There's no reason why a coiled condenser wouldn't work...

thanks Rad, i think i can get better control of temp with smaller tubing such as the 1/4'' double wound as opposed to 1/2'' tubes like a shotgun using a valve on the water inlet

I get better control on my wound CSST condenser than the shotgun, I think you will be very pleased with that double wound.

Yep the coil works wonders. It's the only way I will build them in the future. Same with plates, only large single caps for me.
