Just joined but been lurking on here for some time as I try to spec out a small CLS for personal use. Using 100% n-butane as a start for solvent, passive recovery, and about 150g of fresh home grown material at a time. Also looking to use nitro to push cold solvent through the material and some light filter media. I have already learned a lot and am very thankful for this community.
I find myself a bit confused about the placement of some of my recovery components, specifically a condensing coil and filter drier. I’ve had people chime in and suggest the condensing coil should be after the filter dryer. At the moment I have one of these cheap filter driers:

It says it’s for the liquid line, so would it be proper to put the coil before the filter drier? Or are these filter driers crap and I should just look to outfit my own with beads and triclamp parts? Even if I did that, I’ve read enough to suggest that my solvent should be liquid anyway for the drier to be most effective, so is there any rationale for the coil to go after the drier?
Thanks in advance.
