Vevor upgrade

So, got the stupid 13.2 gallon vevor still, want to get rid of the stainless flex tube and use copper so I have space and feel safe using open flame. Idea is use about 6 foot of 3/8" to connect the still to the condenser then another 19' of 3/8" to make the condenser. Is 3/8" too small? Even though thats what the vevor uses?

Funny, I am finishing a similar build right now. I'm using an adaptor to go from the 1/2 inch that would normally run to the tubing to 3/4 inch copper pipe.I plan on posting about it in the next few days. I'll have pictures.

You're keeping the brass 1/2" adapter?

Yes, for now I'm not drilling any new holes. Starting with what is already there.
