limitedsky wrote:Right, ok. That kinda makes sense, sorta. Not sure how I would measure that kind f thing tho, or know when to open it up or close down the valve. The last VM reflux I used I was told to just open the valve to full once a stable temp between 76 and 80 was reached. Would love to know some more.
