This is actually a really useful piece of equipment: it allows the collection of many fractions during vacuum distillation without having to bring the
whole apparatus back to atmospheric pressure. Normally you are limited to 3-4 fractions if you're using a cow receiver, but not with this!

Some GL45 reagent bottles. I really like these! Although they are not exactly cheap, they are of high quality. There are red cap versions, which have
a PTFE liner. The PTFE lined ones are even more expensive. Do you think that the blue cap bottles will suffice for most situations? When would you
prefer the red caps over the blue caps?

I was browsing online for gifts for other people, and then couldn't resist buying myself a couple cheap nickel crucibles from AliX. I'm hoping to
hydrolyze piperine to the acid without a twelve-hour reflux (higher temp, ethylene glycol, KOH).

I have been after some cheap SS 1/4" VCR hi vacuum/pressure gas fittings for some time. I finally won an auction on a job lot of used ones for
£12.50. They arrived today. I did not win 55mm diameter vacuum valve that i also needed. That sold for more than £100.
I am wg48 but not on my usual pc hence the temp handle.

So you guys probably saw these kits flood the Chinese shill vendors who may or may not have warehouses right next to you(but it always says they do).
Looks like the 'guild' has raised the price. My order went like this:
posted as ~$60 or best offer. Hmmmm, normally for $60USD i might get two of those items at best. So i went through his history for this item, and
almost all the orders said "accepted offer". So brazenly, I offered $7 below asking. I said it was a great deal but i'm very poor. Response was
warm and friendly. And discount #1: he countered at $3.00 below asking price. I said hell yes.
So then of course i get a tracking number that for over a week is stuck at "waiting for package to arrive at facility/" I know what this means. I
sent him a message saying I thought that was a bit sleazy, since the marketing included a map of my country with regions showing either 1, 2, or 3
days! I was in the 2 day zone.
BAM: Instant Discount #2 - $10 refunded to my PayPal right away.
I kind of have to now confess that this is the best deal ever for glassware. It is branded, however the company's name is in Chinese characters. But
the Glassware is up to par with Deschem if not better.
The cut out foam is now the 'case' for safe storage.
The leibig and the vigereux column are so much longer in real life than it looks like in the picture. This really makes a huge difference for
distillations.
The addition funnel has some new design for its stopcock that I cannot explain. But somehow it allows both for perfect drip...drip.. control, and yet
if a bunch of salt or gunk clog up the bottom, i can turn it and it all plops out. It's the perfect separation stopcock.
Yes I have enough 3-way adapters now to last me several life times.
Lastly: I was SURE i had received the wrong keck clamps at first, they looked like 19/x. Then I thought 'hmmm', with some extra thumb muscle, it snaps
on, and it SNAPS on any joint. Like these keck clamps will hold big flasks and condensors while they patiently wait for me to find my support
hardware(do not do that ever, so stupid)
(the thermometer went up to 100C and broke the first day. Nothing else has broken at all)

I don't know who and how these glassware are made, but for the price, someone's gotta do them very fast and easy, or then they get paid pennies. What
I've watched glassware making videos, it's not difficult for a professional glassworker to churn out a pressure compensated funnel, but it still takes
it's time.
I mean, you get dozen of hours of work worth of glass with $60 including shipping.

One of the Dutch companies that's famous for making cannabis bongs a la scientific glassware has a documentary where they reveal their process.
Robots. Robots that can hold glass tubes, robots with 8 arms, each one with an oxy-acetylene torch extending simultaneously, and so on.
I have basic training in glass work, and you're absolutely right, if these were man made. The reason I say it's quality work is because i examined
the usual stress spots. Such as inside meets water jacket meets air meets ground glass joint on a condenser. Traditionally this required a human's
attention, as the thickness required is not linear relative to amount of glass. The Chinese are smart.
Why pennies to us is a working wage to them, is a matter beyond the scope of this chat of course=D
edit: here's a better pic. I tried my best to show probably my favorite piece in the set, and why it impresses me so much. One would really need to
hold it, and use it, to see what I mean. That 2nd neck tangential to the overall sphere is not trivial.

This was my biggest glass purchase in my life, it arrived on pallet, usual way in carton / styrofoam box (as from ebay from China) was not sufficient
now. I expanded my shopping activities abroad. I can buy all these items in my country too, but here they are 2-3-4 times more expensive.
I definitely suggest chemland.pl
There is a limit that you have to place and order of 150 EUR or above. The final price shown in eshop cart is without VAT. The VAT in PL is 23%.
The shipping cost of the pallet transport for me was 60 EUR (including VAT) for 1 pallet upto 150 kg, I'm living in the neighbouring country so
shipping into further country is certainly more expensive, it seems they ship to the whole EU. When ordering less or smaller items which could fit
into standard carton / styrofoam box instead to pallet the cost of transport could be very likely lower.
I couldn't make a photo of everything unpacked, so only the most valuable pieces for me - dropping funnels with pressure equalizing and long powerful
condensers (the shorter one has 40 cm long active cooling part and the rest 60 cm).
The Glassco brand ground glass joints are higher quality, the Chemland brand ground glass joints have slightly less accuracy but still OK for home lab
(grease fills and closes every gap). I selected Glassco everywhere possible (e.g. RBF).

I noted that condensers choke quite easily when pushing too hard. I got an issue with exothermic reaction which was near boiling over as condenser
quickly filled with condensed liquid. 24* are more prone than 29*. I'd choose 45* joint for any larger condenser need nowadays.

Fyndium that's true. The condensers which I've bought are all 29/32.
Condensers with ground glass joints 45/40 are available too. For these bigger joints there are flasks of volume 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 ml.
6 as well 10 L RBF have even bigger joints 60/46.
But a 29/32 condenser like this is wide enough not to choke at condensate flow certainly more than 20 ml per second

Another good order from chemland.pl
Beats 2-4 times the prices of the glass sold in my country and still beats the prices of Chinese glass from ebay.
Palette size order again, the price of shipping dissolves in the value of items.
Not only glass but also a few of reagents.
The RBF in the cardboard box in the middle of picture from which only its neck and joint is visible is 6 L RBF.
Also few hundreds of vials and caps on the left side of RBF, I believe enough for the rest of my life. I used to use vials from pills which my
grandmother took -but she is not with us already for decades.

Damn, next time I'm gonna stock from Chemland too. Many of their prices are basically ridiculously cheap.
Only big con is they only supply single neck flasks for bigger sizes. I wish they expand to 3- and 4-neck rbf:s. Single necks are really limited for
practical reaction use.

Fyndium, you are right, the biggest RBF 1 L:
https://sklep-chemland.pl/en/szklo-laboratoryjne/szklo-z-ele...
https://sklep-chemland.pl/en/szklo-laboratoryjne/szklo-z-ele...
I buy sometimes from this seller in my country but I do not know whether they sell abroad, but I suppose they don't as the only one language in eshop
is CZ. They sell upto 6 L flasks with upto 3 necks (straight=parallel or 20 deg angle)
https://www.verkon.cz/banka-destilacni-s-kulatym-dnem-a-dvem...
https://www.verkon.cz/banka-destilacni-s-kulatym-dnem-a-dvem...
here I found prices for delivery and everything is only for delivering inside country:
https://www.verkon.cz/download/file/19509/cenik-prepravy-12-...
for the prices recalculation Kc means CZK, you can approximate 1 EUR = 26 CZK these days and the prices are without VAT, so you must add 21% into the
price seen in the eshop.
Also the prices in chemland are without VAT which is 23% in Poland.

I won in an auction a beautiful historical glass piece made in Sklarny Kavalier CZ under brand name Sial, the manufactured later changed its brand
name to Simax. Only 4 CZK which is 20 cents for this water vacuum pump, it arrived today by a postal service.

It's all machine made. There isn't a person manually making it, there's just someone that operates the machine that makes it. That's the reason they
can be so cheap
Nuclear physics is neat. It's a shame it's so regulated...
Now that I think about it, that's probably a good thing. Still annoying though.

Not glassware, but a professional vacuum pump from KFN Neuberger:

Chemical resistant, even for most aggressive gases. 8 mbar.
180 EUR including shipment. Shows that not too many people have money at hand anymore. Usually worth 600 EUR at least. New 1200 EUR.
