Hi,
I have been wondering what are the best recommended reflux stills to purchase? I know that a lot of people on this site have amazing metalworking skills and will say that I should build one. I realize that it would be cheaper to build one, but I am more interested in what everyones top choice to purchase would be.
I have been looking at the PDA-1 http://www.amphora-society.com/The-Amph ... p_6-9.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
I realize this a LM column and the preference here seems to be with VM. There is a vast source of still designs to build on the site, but any suggestions for purchasing one are greatly appreciated.

Without the column extention it's not much more than an enhanced potstill.
You can build a VM or Bokakob 'Mini' for less.

It is the very things that we think we know, that keep us from learning what we should know.
