Csst condenser

[Stallion]

I’m going to build a Boka with a 2” column using a 5500 watt element for heating. I’m toying with the idea of using csst as my condenser. I’ve used a 1/2” x 48” csst and coiled it into shape as shown and it fits tight against the inside of the 2” column. What’s the consensus on this type of condenser and the way I have it so far?

Where did you find that length of hose I need one for my ccvm reflux condenser.yours looks like it will work fine

Thanks for the link

How long did the condenser wind up being? Would you take a picture with a ruler beside it? I need one to complete my CCVM as well.

Can you see the pics in the original post? One has a tape measure alongside the condenser.

there's a tape measure right next to it

It’s tight so I just wonder if the vapor will get through like it needs to

I think I read somewhere a while back from when this was just being figured out that a gentle twist was better at least towards the bottom so that your up and down adjustment would be more easily controllable.

I think you went back and put that picture up after I asked the question. LOL! I totally missed it. Thanks

I'm ordering the hose to make one of these

I’m not sliding it up and down. I’m using it as a condenser in a Boka design.
