{Edit - but that doesn't matter - the fact remains that you CANNOT run a pot still by temperature ]

Whole damn thread looks like a train wreck to me , mostly it has SFA to do with the title.

The title is a little misleading. Actually it is the topic of the thread. The setup in the op is not a pot still.
Someone has a lab setup that they believe gave them higher than pot still ABV. Someone else said it wasn't possible because a FDC without reflux cooling can't do that. Someone else chimed in and said that they did just that in his university chemistry class.
It isn't a question of whether it is sensible but whether it is possible.
Exactly, it was a poorly thought out title, but did stem from a discussion of these glass tubes which was split off from a thread on UREA.
