Hi,
I am wondering if i open my needle valve all the way and take out the copper packing and let my 4 foot off set fractionating still run with low heat, will it just be a pot still? I am wondering because I want to make absinthe and I know that the essential oils wont make it through the packing. I think it should be the same as a pot still. Right? Has anyone done this? Any advice?

There are many posts about using an LM still in pot still mode around here.

Re: Column as a Pot Still?
Exactly which reflux column design are you asking about, electrictibet...??? It sounds like on of the Liquid Management designs but detuning can be slightly different between specific ones... I prefer to totally remove the needle valve on my rig when I detune it for pot stilling...
