I know that for every application/chemical/User there would be a diffrent " perfect condenser ", What I'm wanting to know is "What is your prefered condenser"

At the moment I'm sourceing my distilling lab, And I'm looking at a 400mm Graham Condenser, matched with eather a 400mm or 600mm Reflux Condenser/vigreux

What do you use/wish you had in your lab ?

Get an Allihn bulb condenser.

Not only can you use it for condensing and reflux, but also as a catalyst reactor by packing it with a catalyst-loaded substrate, and either heating or cooling it as needed, such as for phosgene production from CO and Cl2
