Yup and about 20 seconds after I flipped the atv and broke the handle bars.

yes, you can distil in your rotovap. it may damage it getting it that hot.
just pull a super deep vac and add 3rd party heaters to crank it up to 200c. im not sure how you’ll enjoy the condensation experience.

Should be interesting seeing a rotovap pull down below 100 micron

My first molecular still was a modified heidolph! I made awesome stuff in that. It was so firm, and for the time it was super special!! I ran hvac pumps in tandem to achieve the best level I could. No gauge, I could tell I was in the money when my collection ball would get this awesome vapor swirl going then came the awesomeness. I had some good times with that unit, then on to the kug! O the kug, loved that bitch! I kinda still wish I had one for rnd. It was easy clean up… memory’s…

The manufacturer said it could handle near space, so naturally I was inclined to find out.
Curiosity killed the cat and the rotovap could hit near space vac.
1/10 do not recommend.
I need to find a suitable keg and I have everything else. Checkin Craigslist in a few.

@Photon_noir and i talked about this concept, while i think its possible, the system isnt designed for the temperature, mainly the control systems that the heat will transfer through. It also would just be like a meyers setup… there are better solutions. And safer ones
