Hi everyone,
I was looking for some opinions. Recently I found a Jacket
for sale, one which I've only seen in old books. It has 4-5
bulbus condensers versus the modern coiled 2-300 Mil glass.

Is this one simply Vintage and 'old technology ', or does it offer
a different method or purpose/style of Distillation? Does it offer any
advantage or not?

Thx for any input. scratch

There are several different styles of condesers. The one with the bulbs I believe is called an Ahlin condenser. I'm not sure what kind is best for what.

Bluefloor,

thx for the info, I should have known this as I've
seen the modern ones many times, just never
noticed the proper name.

The one which is for sale, has only 5 bulbs, and
more heart-shaped ,thus seems kinda Vintage, with
no ground joints.

I still haven't figured out the advantages/disadvantages
of it.

Much to learn still.
