Bobby boucher a.k.a Bobby bushay would like this
Was never fond of my tap water but now I can make my own distilled water. As bobby would say \"Now that's some high quality h2o!\" I feel like the lid let's out a lil bit of air (maybe the 4 latch system?). But no other leaks I'm aware of. If u need to know, then u need a #18 and #22 wrench to snug up stuff. A lil wonky getting bendable hoses in position (second pair of hands would come in handy). I suggest snipping 1 inch of hose off and taking that small copper tube and slide it in the 1 inch hose piece and then slip onto threads inside the thumper relieving side. Cut more hose for extension of water spout if needed.

It arrived in excellent time. Even though someone had dropped or kicked the box hard enough to punch a hole in the side of the shipping box the size of my fist, it was packed well enough that there were no dents on it; not even a scratch on the still. There were some extra small, replacement silicone seals which I really appreciated. It was all very easy to put together even without instructions, but if this sort of thing is new to you... you should read the instructions. I heated quickly, and performed well. Negatives: Some of the hose connections leaked a little. Tightening them more may resolve the issue, but that will likely damage the seals if done repeatedly (but there's extras). You do need to watch the water volume on the condenser. If you're not careful it may run over on you. There are valves to adjust the intake and output on the condenser, and they are there for a reason. Use them. My only real complaint is that the silicone gasket for the thumper is *way* to small to be of use. I doubt it was designed for this still, but rather I suspect someone put the wrong size silicone gasket into the box when piecing it all together. I've been using various stills for nearly 30 years, so hear me out. If this came with the proper thumper gasket, I'd give it 5 stars for sure. If they send me the right gasket, I'd still give it 5 stars, 'mistakes happen. No big deal.

Quailty for the money for sure.
They really need to supply a list of replacement gaskets or place to buy them.

8 gallon still
I bought the 8 gallon still. It works great. I love it for the price. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I did a rum wash and it produced 142 proof rum no issues

Haven't finished cleaning for first run but this still seems to be a real bargain for less than $100.00 USD. The thumper is a bit disappointing. It's a bit too small for practicality but should be sufficient if not over filled. The downspout inside the thumper lid was a tricky connection. I expected a screw on feral to attach it to but after quite a few youtube videos I saw that one of the tapered silicon plugs attached to the threaded portion of one of the fittings inside the thumper lid. I have used a 13 gallon S/S still for years but had no slobber box, or thumper to add flavors to the distillate. I would recommend one of these inexpensive stills for anyone interested in Zymurgy and Alchemy.

Mr.
We bought this system purely to make distilled water. The quality is very good, and it's easy to set up and use. The only thing that needs "fixing" is that the condenser is far too small and the number of turns in the "worm" is far too small. With water distillation, the efficiency is quite poor because the steam is not cooled as much as is needed in the radically undersized condenser. With the factory condenser, 60% is the best efficiency I could get. I added a second condenser with 20' of copper in a 10-gallon bucket. With the added condenser, the efficiency is over 90%. When used for alcohol distillation, the small condenser pot and worm might be good enough at the lower temperatures. But, as I said, my unit is dedicated to water distillation only. Lastly, I'm sure the info is someplace on the Vevor website, but it would be nice to be able to easily find replacement parts like gaskets and such. Then again, I don't need them right now...just looking ahead! Overall, a good product that I would recommend.

Other than the fact they delivered it to the wrong address and it was missing an important part, the quality is quite good. Luckily the part that was missing was interchangeable from the one i was replacing. The overall construction was well made and it looks like the new style seals and gaskets will last longer than the old one i had. I have already used it twice and works very well. This 8 gallon version is about the perfect size for new or experienced users.

Good still pot, works on induction cooktop.
Very nice for a beginner or with a couple of mods will be useful for years to come. Worth having for distilling or family crab or corn boils. It works very well on induction cooktop. As soon as I receive the still I used the box it came in to insulate the pot as it won't be over fire the cardboard insulation will work great. I coated all the insulation with duct tape to make everything water proof as possible. Very happy with the still pot.
