Looks like this thread has been slightly hijacked, so I'll keep it brief.
Ran my Dash-1 with TPW yesterday. I tried to run it as high an ABV as I could on the first run, but it bounced all over the place (89% <-> 50%). I think doing a stripping run first is a better idea.
Good info from LWTCS and Brigand, I too will try pushing my downcomers right up and switching my dephleg coolant in/out (think I'm having same issues there).

Air in the deflag won't help. Get that sorted first.
These things dont need as much heat as you may first think. Try dropping the heat back before you reach boiling point. Then leave it alone to do its thing. Then try next run at different heat, and see if better or worse. Adjust habbits accordingly. Will take a few runs.
Once you have it sussed, then you can re-run it for a neutral-ish drink, or single run for flavor

would owners and users of plated stills say that rather than one timers (pot stills), that if you can find the sweet spot in regards to plates, that you could do a triple distilled in one go... so retainted flavour on the way to high abv., rather than high proof without tones of the wash seeping through?
Im pure noob, but the goal is a Scotch or Irish whiskey, clean and mellow like Jamesons.... can enough plates attain that, rather than chasing a neutral, in one go???

The idea of making nuetrel through them is just a handy by product.
