Hi js looks like we are in similar spots with our vm projects. Kinda cool hey.
You said 800ml per min take off, thats a lot :o . My 2.5 - 2 inch vm was doing approx 1.45l per hour (24.1ml per min) on the test run yestrday.
And yeah the safety thing is important. It doesn't take long for stuff to happen. I had to bolt to turn the tap on for the cooling water when my column started to sing yesterday too and the minor flooding / surging could have been a an issue with high alc and a flame if I wasn't watching..... One time I was running a still and had just had a quick pee, when I came back a water inlet hose had blown off, water everywhere, electricity, hot still, alc steam etc... Can't really leave these babies alone can we.
