Building my 1st Short Path Distlation Unit

Hi, my name is Andrew. New member but have been checking out the site for a few months now.

I have a budget of around $6k and am looking to buy all the parts needed for my own system. Due to funding I am expecting to get a 2L or possibly a 5L setup.

The last system I used with my partner was with an Edwards 5 and some cheap glass, a 2L, bought off Amazon I believe…and we were able to produce pretty nice product, especially on further passes.

Looking to get something similar until I can afford something nicer. Willing to buy whole setups or just parts I need

5L Short Path
Mantle
As best a pump I can get for around $2.5k
Cold Trap
+any other useful lab equipment for distillation

Even links to to good equipment from trusted retailers would be helpful…really any help in me deciding how to build my setup would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time and help

Located in the woods of Washington

I have a brand new in box 1l mantle, and a few 1l 2 neck bf if interested. Also a 500ml mantle.

If ya wanna go all out, a 2l spd mantle and glass, 2021i vac pump (new rebuilt pulls 6 microns), a leybold trivac d2.5e and other stuff

Can you send me a dm?

Those pumps are horrible, ive thrown away 5 with less than 10mins of run time. Youd sell alot more if you had the right equipment and knowledge to sell it. Fyi the blue water pumps WON’T work for short path
