Soxhlet help , about condensor losing all vapors

[splifey]

What can i use to keep the condenser cool, Because the water keeps evaporating and i keep having to add water. Thank you for your help.

I saw something like a icecream maker on youtube. but any suggestions?

I use a milk jug full of water frozen solid... That gets placed into a small cooler half full of water. I ran an extraction for several hours and the ice only half melted.

thank you very much, I will definitely do that and i suppose use a small water pump?

yup. A small fish tank pump works good... Run the pump into the lower inlet of the condenser and the top outlet returns to the reservoir.
