G'day fellas,
Been doing a lot of reading in the "Reflux Stills" section. It seems like a lot of blokes build VM stills for their first, neutral, project. I was planning on building a CM for making neutrals. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Cheers,
Hsv8.

Hi ya HSV,
I built a VM based on what I researched online.
However, (big disclaimer), I have never seen or run a CM, (or LM for that matter), but from what I found info wise, among other things, the VM is the easiest to control.
Cheers Phil

My first build was a VM as well.
If neutral is what you want then the VM is the automatic luxury model.
There's some really cool ideas floating around these days on valveless VM, that use a condenser above and below the offtake.
Cheers,
Mech.

Thanks for your input fellas. The automatic, luxury model that's easy to drive hey? Sounds like a no brainer.
I'll do some more research, then come back here with a plan.
Cheers,
