What does gls stand for ?

Well, it’s gl connections. I don’t know what the gl stands for. The threaded barbed connectors that are normally used with hose.

Btw, what hose are you using and what pump?

What’s the main benefit to this shotgun hot condenser tek compared to a typical short path setup with cow adapter? Do the head fractions separate better giving better color/clarity and smell or is it faster overall?
Does anyone have a picture of a basic setup like @anon42519203 was describing made on the cheaper side? That seems like a good idea for a wide bore cold trap, but not sure if I fully understand the order of the parts.

The reason is it creates and environment where only distilate will condense. It works so good, but you cant use a cow. Check his page to her a general idea of what is needed to do the hot condenser tech. If tour looking for a great oil heater i suggest @usalabequipment. I have there 5l and it is perfect for what your teying to do is tbey uave tons of awesome equipment on there site. I cant recommend them enough, they have absolutely the best customer service of all the companies (and ive used them all) out there.

Ok I get what your saying. So the volatile fraction won’t stick to the head condenser and contaminate the main body as it comes over. That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing that up for me. It would probably help with smell quite a bit compared to a triple cow setup.
I agree about usalabs. They do seem to have really good customer service and good about returns or replacement. It’s so cool to have this board and be able to share the best vendors and knowledge. Really amazing how much to learn here.

@anon42519203 I see that with some of your more recent runs, that you have two collection flasks before the second condenser, and in some of your older posts you have heads collection flask after the second condenser, similar to what you described in the beginning of this thread.
Do you try to collect the terps in the second flask and then the rest goes through second condenser and to the cold trap? Would it be better for someone learning to put the heads flask after the second condenser in case the mains start to make it past the first flask?
I am hoping to put together the most basic version of this setup so I can fully understand the separate fractions and how they behave. It’s fascinating to see how much more science is being applied here compared to a normal SPD.

Distilling crude or alcohol? With alcohol a diagrahm pump will suffice. With crude to disty you need an alcatel, edwards or welch.

Try using a SUPER saturated brine solution, or Super Saturated Mag Sulfate solution , or Sat. Bicarbonate solution in place of water. The common ion effect should help separate things better than straight H20.

Just seeing this. Im not sure what youre refering to. Lately its just mains on the swing, heads on the laminar
A bump trap will help you understand all the fractions… it was my go to for learning.

I put another T with a flassk to carch any distilate that nakes it past when running so hot. I collected 250gs last run i would other wise have lost, there will be tour heads and such, but i just save it all to be water washed layer. Well worth it
