That's a really lovely piece of work Patch - Still Porn, no doubt.

Love to see the entire build in running mode so I can work out vapour/coolant paths etc - I'm a simple pot man, I have a nice VM but have never driven it - yet! :D :D :D
The Jackson Crossflow Condenser looks like serious work to build.

Congrats - lovely job ;)

Looks great RM, are you not missing a valve at the reflux return line so you can divert it back to the column or take it off as LM? I would think right below the small Tee would be ideal?
