Run it as fast as you can, then once you have enough low wines, run it real slow. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I found the best option for the T500 was to purchase the copper T500 pot still and do multiple strip runs before swapping back to the T500 reflux still. Works for me though there is a cost involved.
The advantage of purchasing the pot still is you can produce whisky and other spirits.

cheapest way, unscrew the col from the lid. Get some 2'' copper and a few fittings( there are heaps of links around) and build up a simple pot for yourself.(And a condenser)That way you have 2 stills which will work just fine.

Or you could buy a second lid and use that with the simple pot.
