Haha, probably the latter.

I will try to pack it harder and add some more to check if that will make it faster.

Will try. Thanks!

Hi there. My VM still packing is approximately 150cm tall and filled with copper mash. It produces super pure 95-96% but it is doing so rather slowly. (1-2 drops a seccond) I was wondering if I added even more copper and compressed it to fit the column if that would make it produce 95% faster due to...

Wow...your reading way back in the archives. 1/4" is too small for anything. Maybe a small reflux coil...but the flow will be minimal. Go look here for some VM data http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=41579 A proper VM is the easiest and cheapest to build and will outproduc...

New guys here with some question regarding the VM-reflux type.

Does the VM still have a slower output than a water managed still?

Can it theoretically produce constant 95% ABV ethanol '?

Thanks!

Man, I'd like to see those pics :\
