So, to be clear, we could go full Steam Punk?
gold and silver are inert 
Not sure Stainless qualifies as steampunk.
Iāve been thinking a lot about this too. I have a lab society silvered setup with their aux condenser, which has given me nothing but a big head ache. Iām incorporating a ss cold trap instead of the aux path and adding summits new sp5 head with their new high efficiency mono cow. Hoping this will solve my issues. Iāve had good results running ls system without the aux condenser attached, but Iām hoping to achieve the same results breaking dabs is, and my setup just doesnāt cut it.

How did you use the aux condenser?
Its on a 4 necked bf, so itās a secondary path, separated from the head, controlled by a three way valve to determine which path the vapor takes. So you pull heads through aux, then switch the valve when itās time to pull the body.
This is good in theory, but it literally made me unable to reach good vac rendering the whole thing moot. Plus it was really hard to see exactly when to make the switch following what they said. Thes new sop from breaking dabs has changed the game quite a lot. So that is what Iām trying next, recommended by a friend to also has ls silvered head and all the same issues as me. Said he got the new summit head and that fixed all his issues.

The secret to a good vacuum level is complete removal of the lowers.the lowers are making the vapor pressure that your pumps are fighting. That and refluxing cold traps will make unnessarry vapor pressure in your apperatus.

Itās either steam punk or advanced centrifugal free mean path cryogenic deposition with selective laser evaporative technology leveraging far IR high power lasers and interstitial bipolar differentiation of the hydrogen carbon bonds. It will need a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts of energy for the really timeless dabs but it would be the complete other end of the tech spectrum.
Of course you could power the whole thing with a steam locomotive I thinkā¦ ask @Futureā¦ he should knowā¦ I am gonna take another vape hit now. Hope this helped.

I was gonna add an extra ss cold trap, since Iām removing the aux. Iāve been told this would lead to better vac. Might still have reflux issues, but canāt that be solved by putting dry ice under the receiving flask for the heads?
Run a hot condenser, most of the heads will go to the cold trap, put a dry ice bath under the rbf on your cold trap.

Iām at 131 for my condenser atm. Need a new pump to get to 155. But i thought i saw breaking doing a run totally without a head condenser. Gonna have to ask him about it.

Air condensers totaly work. Br instruments does that with their spinning band.https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F322885261857
This will work for your hot condenser!

Man I went from open blasting years ago, 3 years out of industry barely smoking, to one wild idea to get back in and two days later had a 5lb extractor.
I remember the first run I sat there with close to 20 lbs of solvent in the system, dry ice and iso everywhere, and not a single drop of solvent.
Fucking genius idea with the stethoscope.
I stared at this fucking thing for 12 hours with no idea what was going on, finally dripped it all through.
Then I started looking at the rig as a big straw, and realized I didnāt equalize the pressure from the first chamber to the collection. God bless that learning curve.

Looking into the same system, any advice on dos and donāts on the lab society. Thanks.

Whatās the diameter of Summit researchās heating mantles? Or any ācommonā 10 liter heating mantle/stirrer?
Chemglass round bottom flasks have diameters of 279mm and 295mm for 10 liter and 12 liter, respectively. This shouldnāt matter when using a 12 liter boiling flask on a 10 liter mantle should it? My memory tells me itās fine, but I donāt have any equipment directly in front of me and Iām waiting on 4 companies to call me back about itā¦ But on stoner timeā¦
Thank you! I read that stuff and the typos alone almost made it unreadable.
If itās too small youāre fucked, but if itās a little too big you can always use some sand to fill the gap.

A better option is wadded up aluminum foil,the sand will get into the housing of the mantle.
