what is this this you speak of? 
was there supposed to be a link?

That will work, you will want a plain jane claisin adapter instead if the vig. It will take less heat, you will need a mantle with mag stir.

Thanks for the help buddy so the vig column takes more heat to get the etoh to evap out of the mixture? I already have a heat plate mag stirrer. Would this suffice and does the mag stir go into the evap flask or into the heating bath that the flask sits in?

If you have a hotplate / stirrer you will need to make either a sand or an oil bath. The vig column helps with fractional distillation, it is unnecessary for a simple distillation intended to strip solvents. Refinement of solvent is a different matter requieing a different approach, where the vig column would be more suited.

So for my own setup I would want a claisin for simple distillation for lower temps on the oil then a fractional tower to clean up the etoh for reuse later.

Yep, pretty much.

I found some American made glass pieces on ebay for cheap I think Iāll piece together everything myself. Found some 2L pyrex flasks, an aldrich jacketed 370mm coil condenser and Iāll look for a 24/40 cleisen and vacuum adapter. Will I need a liebig to run with the cleisin adapter?

Is this the setup I should go for with the claisen adapter? Wouldnāt I still need a condenser of some sort with the claisen adapter like a tee off the arm of the claisen and still use the liebig ro condense the etoh vapor?

If you doing a simple distillation I would advise you to get the liebig instead of the graham. Coil condenser are used vertically, the liebig can be used for either reflux or distillation in a horizontal or vertical application.

You wonāt need the bubble tube, you have magnetic stirring. I would simply add a pressure equalized addition funnel above the flask to add more etoh so you can add while running.

I am not producing distillate if that is what youāre asking. Iām only interested in pulling the etoh from my oil at the lowest temps possible, then Iāll want to refine my etoh back into the 90ās percent purity.
I was thinking the claisin and liebig for simple distillation first (since it takes less heat), then the jacketed coil for reflux of the etoh after.

Oh well darn I thought that was a vacuum port to pull a vacuum on the system but now I see thatās a bubbler lol

Both of the setups above are connected to a vacuum source.

Were on the same page of solvent stripping here, I havenāt even begun to talk about cannabinoid distillation! You will want to preform a simple distillation under vaccum to first remove the etoh. If you want to refine a solvent though distillation you would add the fractional column, vaccum at this stage is unnecessary.

Thanks for all the help man its greatly appreciated. Are there any products out there that work like a water aspirator but reuse the discharge water to circulate through the condenser?

I donāt see a reason you couldnāt just place a fountain pump in your sink that is connected to your condenser.

Sox thanks for the heads up. Is 55 degree well water cool enough for the condenser?

55f? Should be fine, if you arenāt getting good efficiency you may want a longer condenser.
