What in the open blast," is another way of saying “What in the hell!”
Someone else said it and I loved it and I only use it on this forum.
Wait!!! Might’ve been when the tarnation meme was a thing. Either way, What in the open blast" is great.

I know this is an old post, but dam. Yup, and thats what happened to me. I use VG for my food grade chiller anti-freeze bath. Lol my buddy ran the 5L roto without my cold trap up. I was gone. I came back a little upset to the lab with a nice puddle of oil under my pump. Now I have to find a seal kit for it. Uhg
Just a reminder this turned out to be overkill.
I ended up going to this submersible and it’s the best one I’ve ever used in my life.
You can attach this to that pump and then mess around with triclamp to hose fitting to be able to attach any hose.
Bumping.
‘Cause all this shit is still important.
When you’re done here, figure out Who is king of EToH Recovery? and check out [Open Source Design Project] - Falling Film Evaporator as well
Then wrap your head around why all of that is wrong…X-Spiral: Affordable Membrane Systems for the People!

A rotovap is still useful with an X-Spiral,
I use an FFE and a rotovap for secondary recovery and purging respectively.

Correct. Good point.

Because sometimes optimizing your Rotovap means buying a better one.
And then you can use the old condenser for other things…say your decarb vessel…
Thanks @rowan!!
Bonus points for anyone that can tell the class where that fitting came from.
