Leaving aside exploding 25litre condom washes etc, I must have been really lucky.

I bought a 2nd hand airstill, chucked a dozen or so coins in, some of which are copper and some new, and have never had a single problem.

I do run it a few inches below a shelf so it could lift but not explode, but it never has.

Rules and Parameters here have softened in the last couple of years.
If I understand this right -

Primarily this site wants to help you, inform you and keep you safe from bad practice.
What is posted here is not necessarily the way to go, but usually the best way, after consensus by other users.
And you sometimes have to read around a bit to make your own decision upon what may work for you.

The site is not saying do this, it is saying that if you do this, try it this way it has so far proved safe.
Many people have come together here, over many years, to share pooled knowledge.

And as for rules.
If posters remain courteous to all others and refrain from too much profanity, I for one will allow them free reign.
But as one of the deputies, I will dispatch the Bad Guys.

LOL. It'd be a hell of a trick to fit it in an airstill.

It'd do the sulphur bit fine, but the anti surge boiling bit not so much.

(don't shout at me and say the copper needs to be above the wash and not in it)

My airstill seal has finally had enough use that I don't need to be an octopus to get the lid off between runs.

I use about 20 "copper" coins. I don't think all are true copper, but at least they aren't lead.

Hi everyone,

Finally had the chance to use my airstill again. As suggested by several of you, I changed the seal. That seems to have fixed it. It's stripping right now and I can hear it bubbling very strongly, yet the lid doesn't move at all.

I will try some more copper in my spirit runs as well.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I have missed your presence, You have a distinctive user name, welcome back!
Have some fun and share if you care to.
