Roccoware?

Has anyone here ever dealt with or bought from Roccoware Glassworks LLC?

I've been looking for a jacketed coil condenser and while I know wilmad makes a good version I ran across Roccoware's offering via eBay ( https://roccowareglassworks.com/ main site http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Glass-Double-Jacketed-Coil-Conde... aforementioned eBay sighting ) . any opinions, dealings or things that strike you about them? Opinions & comments appraicated and I thank you.

There prices are a shade high but from what I can see on there website they look like a pretty decent USA brand starting off. also I noticed on the left hand side of there page they are a member of the american science glass society, I think you would probably be safe buying from them.

One nice thing about that condenser design; entrained gas won't collect much, regardless of which way you hook up the hoses.

I noticed that as well. After seeing white rabbit's videos( he goes by ytmachx there I think) on you tube( the ether one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R3ta6MFQOo) I gave thought to a stronger condenser. The diethyl ether thread in prepublications helped as well as speaking to a retired chemist on the matter. Truth be told though.. I hope I don't need a Friedrichs as well. At least not for a couple of months.
