How long copper tubing should I buy?

Post by bjarni88 »

Hi guys I'm gonna try something new, I'm gonna gonna connect a water hose to a sink and make a hole on the hose so I can thread the copper coil inside the hose all the way down the coil and make another hole where the alcohol dripper will exit and the rest of the water hose will go to the drain of the sink :) I'm just wondering if you guys have an idea of how long copper tube I should buy so that the alcohol steam would cool down completely ? I would like to hear your opinion on this idea of mine, and if you don't understand then don't hesitate to ask :)

P.S. I will use c.a 1 meter long copper tube from the boiler to the start of the coil and I want to know how long coil I should have inside the water hose.
