Chuck the whole thing in the freezer for a bit, might shrink it enough for it to pull out :thumbup:

So I decided to increase the rc size as I want to be able to knockdown all vapors on a VM.
Just reread and figured out the discussion has drifted from dephleg to RC. :lol:

It would seem in my non educated way the hot vapor would collapse as a liquid on the coldest material a as it passes by.
The collapse causes a vacuum and draws even more vapor to the cool surface.
Turbulence is great in a heat exchanger but isn't needed or wanted on the vapor side of a condenser.
