What kind of 1/4" Copper tubing?

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

What kind of 1/4" Copper tubing?

Post by hendecp »

Hey experts out there, I am wondering what the best copper is to use for winding a coil for my boka. I wound one around an 1" pipe, then back on itself. It isn't pretty, but it does flow. It tended flatten out a bit, but not pinched or kinked. Like I said, it works, but I have seen much better. I did read the thread on winding a coil and his came out much better than mine..... Ok, it was pretty damn perfect. What I got at the local hardware super store was 1/4" for refrigerator water line. Is there something better that is not as susceptible to flattening or kinking? I did my roll with out salt or any of BS that I have read all over. Mine condenses enough to make distilled water at 212. I just want to make the "perfect" coil for the best surface area and cooling of the vapor.

Thanks in advance!
Wherever you go, there you are..... But, where am I and how did I get here???
