Bluc if The Stig will let me put a link to this Vic fleabay seller they have a full range and the full kits are around $100, it cost me $140 for the mantle heater and yes it does work a treat and Iike I posted above in order to clean the flask after running 600mm of water and about 50 grams of baking soda will clean the flask nicely but don't try and reuse the solution as I found when it boiled it foamed up and puked causing a bit of a mess. By using new stuff each time it does the job, my flask was filthy with herbs stuck to the side and it did take close to half an hour to get it totally clean.
Now with this glass still when the temp goes above 83C it well into the end of the run, so a 5 degree range is the setting I found to be the one to keep an eye on.
I was surprised just well this worked but as the glassware did get hot after the condenser buying that Graham condenser will be a great investment and i won't be running again until it arrives.
