reverse esy flange 2.5" to 2" reducer :)) , few little gaps, nothing a few taps wont fix. I always used flatened pipe then cut the hole to suit and filed it and trimmed it!!, so much easier this way!!.

Looks really good googe, I was going to build a bigger diameter pot and make a Davies condenser myself but scrapped the plan for something even more ambitious but yeah I reckon this thing would knock down 4" pot vapour no worries :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Soldered the outer shell on and the inner one. Dont ask about the short outer shell, had a big blonde moment and cut before measuring twice :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: just proceeded hoping for the best :-| . was a bit of a chelenge soldering the inner tube in, fiddly shit, but got some nice welds in there :). All thats left now is the coolant transfer lines and fitting to the colum and then its fun time :D. never been so excited to see something work!!.

Thanks mate :handgestures-thumbupleft: . Finally got to give this a decent run with a gas bottle that's not freezing up on me. doing a tpw atm and the best I got was 15.8 L/h abouts. 38 seconds per 100ml, think I worked it out right ?. Happy as a pig in shit :dance: just wanted to break the 10 L mark. Now I can focus on other things haha.
