Hey Everyone,
Link to equipment: Meyers Vacuum Lab 3
I have seen this unit pop up a couple times when searching around and looking at various distillation equipment and approaches, has anyone used this that would be willing to offer their opinion? Has anyone operated a similar setup? If neither, I’d still be curious to hear your opinion because I am currently debating myself 
We had a neighbor who was using it but they ran into some issues getting it to work properly, and it didn’t really crank out as much as advertised.
Do they ever?
No joke they had to put a paper clip in the darn thing to get their distillate to condense/drip properly into the proper collection flasks.
It’s funny seeing an expensive machine like that only work properly because of a freaking paper clip!
I hear the collector clogs all the time. Its a great distillation method but is meant for more volatile compounds. The larger Meyers Lab 10 is commonly used in essential oil production.
