yes it has the exposed element! and yes it has a few holes and weird spots....where i hit it with the grinder taking it out this morning!! :laughing-rolling:
i took it into the local HBS to see if they had any replacements but no such luck. So i dove onto the google machine and have worked out it's a 1380W hoop element, and plenty of HBS's have them online.
My first thought was to just wack in a FSD weldless 2400w element, as this would be a bit faster in pot mode, but then i thought, when i put the pure distilling reflux rig back on, the condenser might not be up to knocking down the vapor? any experience?
My plan is to build a keg boiler, and make my pot into a bubbler, then sell off the HBS reflux rig.
