All Spirits Run

Post by GaMountainMan »

I have been saving up for an all spirits run. I have a 6 gallon boiler and was just wondering how much I must have to do an all spirits run?

depends on how you heat it. if it electric then enough to cover the element. if not then it don't matter . I would wait till I had like 4 gallons. imo. remember to cut to 40%
if you cant build a paper airplane, then leave the rocket alone.
its like wiping before you poop, dont make sense.

Thanks. I was just thinking the less you put in there the more space you would have in pot for the vapor to have to fill so was thinking that perhaps there was a point to where you would be wasting it. Thanks again!

How much will you have when cut to 40% or under?? I would look for about 4.5 gallon max.
