The coils where 3/8 and the cold finger was 3/4 and the outlets are 1/2 and I made two condenser out of a 18M rolls and had a bit left over

So I am making a product cooler and need help for the type?? I was thinking of making linberg with a straight peice of copper or should I try and make a big pitch long coil and put inside a S/S tube ??
I have also seen one other idea of pinching the copper tube with pliers in 20mm increments changing directions each time to help slow down the flow
Photos are to get an idea of what I am looking at

You should get a piece of 2” borosilicate tube and make a clear shotty :music-deathmetal:
