Vapor Management Question

[minime]

I'm finally starting to build a 3" VM column. In Riku's new book Designing and Building Automatic Stills he shows an elbow turned down into the vapor path inside the column rather than relying on EVDP. I would think this is more akin to stream splitting than the traditional "alcohol vapor is heavier and sinks" method.

Any of you fellows running VM columns tried this new innovation??
