Yeah I never got mine into full reflux. The only reflux created is from those two little tubes so more coolant the better I reckon.
And yes they should be a power management still I reckon but this is in no way ideal

Tried heaps of different variations of heat and coolant, but at 77/78deg all I could manage was a drip or two a second.
As mentioned, haven't check digital probe thermometer in boiling water but did remove it a few hours into it and replace it with cheap handheld one I use for beer and it appeared to be reading close to the same.
