VEVOR Essential Oil Distillation Kit, 2000ml Distillation Apparatus, 3.3 Boro Lab Glassware Distillation Kit with 1000W Heating Plate and 24, 40 Joint, 28 pcs Set

Great product easy to use.

Looks like a pretty nice setup.

The heater plate should be replaced immediately, as in my case, it was a weak link in the setup.

Seems well built but incomplete by nature. Could at least throw some cheap food grade screens in the box so it can be used immediately.. and an aquarium pump.. and a hot plate worth a dam* You will need to modify this if you want it to work, wrapping the upper chamber in several layers of tinfoil or some other insulate. Otherwise it will condenser in the material chamber and then fall back into boiling flask. Would be cool if this company gave instructions for some basic tests / experiments. After 3 runs, each 6+ hours long, the only thing I have done is make distilled oregano flavored water.. while the boiling flask is a dark brown color. The distance the steam must travel to reach the arm connecting to the condenser seems to be too far. (I got the 2000ml one). The hot plate, dont even try it. You'll never get to boiling temps. I used a better one with a magnetic stir and an electric feed back thermometer to keep it at a consistent temp. Not sure what im doing wrong... cause... no instructions whatsoever besides how to piece the thing together. Pipetts included are unmarked, so dont expect to be able to measure any millimeters out with anything in this "kit". They even skipped on the sealant(Vaseline). The container its in (small) wasnt even 1/3 full. Glass seems good quality with a few flaws (lines in the glass, not cracks tho so I wont complain about that). I've tried a few different methods now for steam distilling the same herb over and over. Oregano. And every time, all it does is slowly cook the oregano causing it to collapse in the chamber to where the steam/oils simply drip back into the boiler flask where it stays indefinitely regardless of temp.

This kit does not work. I had to buy another heat plate because the one provided will smell your whole house with chemical. The flask is most likely too big, because the unit never evaporates the water into the condensing unit. Tried to get product support and they don't want the unit back. I think I might have lost $250 on this unit that, I hoped would work
