Lots of Portland sources, Airgas, Praxaire, Matheson, etc,
but we use Industrial Source for our gases.

Looks like the same type of release as the across internationals.
Is it easy to hook the n2 tank up to that?
Very simple.... You guess lol... The first few times just dont do it very long, like 7 seconds or so, increase the time a few seconds each time till theres almost no butane that comes out of the hoses when you disconnect them. Sometimes i even close the vapor valve on the tank to get the pumps to build some nice pressure in the lines(100psi or less) and then open it back up. My theory is the pressure liquefies more vapor in the filters, lines and cooler and then it rushes into the tank when i open it back up. More random theories of mine lol
I like the N2 idea, but i wouldn't be able to feed N2 through the appion correct? just after to push the liquid out of the cooling coils? The appions hold quite a bit of butane in the condensers themselves, which is why i like the atmosphere technique. The room temp tank method i farted out a few posts back probably wouldn't work as it'd just be putting more liquid butane in the out side... hmmm

The recovery pump should pump N2 as well as atmosphere.

GW have you ordered from NY brew supply on amazon? I ordered this coil http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00420V094/ref=pe_385040_128020140_TE_3p_dp_1 and it is soft drawn steel that the compression fittings I bought a paramount in Albany wont fit. the little ferrule in the compression fitting is larger than the tubing, enough to rattle around. is it just me? the tubing has slight ridges lengthwise, some sort of extrusion marks. is there a way to seal this or did I just blow a bunch of dough?

did this coil work for you? I ordered this coil and was unable to attach compression fittings to it.

I have two 25' coils and one 25' "immersion pre chiller" coil from nybrew. Both compression fittings from stainlesssteelfittings and from instalation parts supply fit on there nice, snug, and perfect! I ordered them directly though, not through amazon. They will also custom bend coils however you want.

oh, I just realized this is from home brew stuff, not ny brew supply. damn.
I've ordered from NY Brew, but not their coils. You might check it to see if it is metric. A coil sold as 3/8" from another vendor turned out to be 14mm.
You might check and see if it will fit the ID of a tube to compression fitting, so it can be tig welded into place.
Idk about tubing, but with hoses there's two different ways of sizing and they are slightly different. A "true bore" 3/8 hose is similar but not the same as a "nominal" -06 hose. This stuff ca get tricky sometimes as companies have the tendency to mislabeled their products. I always call and double triple check this kind of stuff before ordering.

Just to be clear we always want the -06 size, correct? I'm assuming this because all of my fittings come in dash sizes.
It's just like sae 45 and jic 37. It depends what your working with I guess. Idk about tube though to be honest. Hoses don't really matter too much because they pit the hose end fittings on there for you and those should not make a difference between nominal or true bore
ok im a little confused. I have read this thread all the way, it just changed topics a few times. So I do have a question if the group dont mind.
from what i can tell please correct me if i am wrong.

is the good option, just make sure i use the swagelok fitting so it don't leak?
for better performance cut the bottom coil and have it go down so the tane will drain?

That would work. You can also get 50' coils.

and just stick with the 3/8 vs 1/2? i seen http://stainlessbrewing.3dcartstores.com/Coiled-to-customers-request-035-304304L-Coiled-Tubing_p_30.html on stainlessbrewing second thumb nail look exactly like what i trying to do. and they have option for 3/8 or 1/2.
