Vacuum pump problems

nope. folks like big pumps, because that’s what the math says are needed.

The volumetric capacity of vacuum pumps required by a molecular still measured at the operating pressure (0.1-5 microns) is relatively enormous, many thousands of liters of gas having to be withdrawn for each liter of oil entering the distilling zone. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/cr60107a002

routes around the paywall encountered above are listed elsewhere, should you care to actually read.

so demonstrate it.

maybe do some back of the envelope math to understand the volume 1kg of 100% THC would occupy as a gas at 100um and 200C (see: Ideal gas law - Wikipedia)
