So with the need to spend some serious (serious to me anyway) dollars at FSD soon i need to sell my 2" so im thinking of adding a modular section to it before i put it up for sale.

wondering what people think would be best. Going to make a 4" section for the 2" before i sell it but throwing ideas around in my head and its time to ask what others think.

There is a 100mm 5 tube 2" RC 1/2" internals on the 2" pot/refulx hybrid. 500mm packed section or empty.

Got 150mm section of 4" i can spare and ill make reducers to get it from 2"-4" and back to 2".


My thoughts are;

i can either make a single 4" thumper with 130mm bath and have it hold 1L (after 2" Cap) so pot and inline thumper with RC setup, or

2 plate's, 100mm first plate to second plate distance and second to use last 50mm of 4" plus reducer and column above with 2 options.
. option 1: 50mm bath depth first plate, 25mm depth second plate
. option 2: 25mm bath depth both plates

Wondering what people would think would be best. Want to design it to be a single run for whoever ends up with it with best results and seperation that can be achieved, not a half arsed job.

Im leaning towards option 1, 50mm depth first plate 25mm second. Thinking this would have a better product output ABV and speed than option 2 or just a thumper all under a 100mm 2" RC which will be able to reflux no worries on bubbler.

what do people think, single inline thumper with RC, or 2 plates with RC with the option 1 or 2. Or other?

Cheers

My opinion would be ta sell as is or mount it in the man cave,unless you think you can get ya money back for the extra cost and time ,and are you sure it will work that well,focus your effort and $ on your 5star purchase wich has very well proven outcomes,and that comes from somebody that has 6 old handmade stills on the shelf ,trying to overcomplicate things in this hobby does not allways work out well ,and since I made my purchace at 5star I have never used any of the said 6 stills again,but couldnot bare ta part with them,your choice .cheers hillzabilly

Both options sound like work and/or cash....
Personally i wouldn't waste my time/money.
Time to move on to bigger and better things and cut your loses.
Sell as is or keep it for sentiment.

good advice, i think ill take it. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
