my CM idea

[MacStill]

actually looking at it again you might as well crush it and start again :laughing-rolling:

It's definitely not going to work :handgestures-thumbdown:

[googe]

Yeah, wise idea. Don't think my brain can take much more of this bloody bubble chat. Im out for now.

[emptyglass]

it'll work, but I cant see it improving on a perforated plate set up...

:text-+1:

[googe]

Fuck this obsessive hoddy :laughing-rolling: . Ok, how about this, tube inside for riser.

[googe]

Started my cm, finally. Getting bits together slowly .

[Kimbo]

Love the bling mate, its gunna be a nice looking build :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[googe]

Thanks mate , got lots of shinny odd ss and copper fitting here I might try and incorporate. ment to ask, are the thermometers with the wire and separate thermo pickup any good ?.

[Kimbo]

They can be, the ones I have seen are pretty cheap, so it might be worth getting a couple just in case.
And remember, they arent needed to show the actual temp, just the changes in temp ;-)

[googe]

Thanks mate, didn't really think about them not having to show actual temp, wouldn't I need to.know the temp to start the take off though :think: . Yeah was looking on Ebay and your right they are cheap, that's why I was curious,cheap shit usually breaks. Been looking around for the white faced ones I've seen a few of you use here and can't find any that seem right, most I've found are from 0 to like 400 or 600 c, would make.it hard to read slight changes. I'm guessing one that's 0 to 100c would be the go?.

[googe]

Question, would it be better to have water flow restricted to the reflux or away from the reflux for collection?.

It really just depends what suits you, I've had cooling on my bubblers valved both ways with no real differences :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[googe]

Thanks mate :handgestures-thumbupleft: , gunna be a slow build, didn't really realize how much work goes into one of these let alone $ :wtf:

Googe, can you explain what the blingy bits are? They look cool but I'm fucked if I know how they work... :laughing-rolling:

[googe]

There argon gauges mate, will be using them as needle valves for coolent control. Hopefully lol.

[Camikaze]

Gotcha! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[googe]

Bit more work on it, slowest build ever lol. To fucken hot here to do anything with heat so the soldering can wait !. Easy flange and inside flattened vapor path.

[MacStill]

Do you reckon the argon guages/valves are going to work without pressure?

I'm not so sure bout it myself and would be testing them in a non explosive kinda way :think:

[googe]

What do you mean about no pressure?.

[MacStill]

Well an argon bottle is a high pressure container and if you do things right your still wont be :-B

[googe]

yeah, still lost 8-} coolent hasnt gotmanything to do with pressure in a cm has it?, theres a open vapor path.
