Customer Reviews for 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

Glas ist gut verarbeitet und die Anlage ist schnell aufgebaut und einfach zu bedienen. Gut geeignet für einen schnellen Versuch oder etwas Didaktik. Allein die Heizplatte ist Schrott und ich halte es für fahrlässig diese zu verkaufen/bedienen. Unbedingt eine Heizalternative beschaffen. Die Kabelisolierung hält der Hitze nicht Stand, siehe Bilder. Kein Schützleiter ist montiert, die Platte wird unnötig heiß und die Beine sind ungenau und mangelhaft. Gut gefällt mir der Schneidetrichter in der Anlage damit lässt sich effektiv das Öl trennen. Eventuell ist es dennoch schlauer die Komponenten einzeln zu beschaffen und gleich eine brauchbare Heizplatte/Haube zu nehmen.

The distillation kit is pretty cool. I do love the glassware. I wish it came with a bigger and sturdier stand so you could remove the hotplate and adjust things without it falling over. The hotplate is what keeps it propped up. There's a hole in the middle of the stand though. So I'll probably just run a bolt through it into some plywood for stability. I'd have given it a 5/5 rating. But the hot plate releases a lot of toxic smelling smoke the first day you use it. It smells like Teflon. I feel kind of sick after breathing it. But even worse than that, it doesn't get hot enough to boil water. So it's basically just a useless brick. Ended up breathing all that toxic smoke for nothing. You'll need a higher quality hot plate. They make laboratory grade ones that let you dial up to a very specific temperature. Unfortunately, I can't afford one now. But will get one next. Another hotplate complaint, it's so low to the table that it keeps the entire apparatus low. So you can't get a vial under the collection funnel. You need to raise the hotplate a few inches to make the kit really usable. It's a cheap set and doesn't come with a stand for the plate. I made one out of a cooling rack and some ceramic tile to get some clearance. All in all, the glassware seems good. The stand is alright, and easy enough to make stable with simple tools and cheap materials. But the burner is not worth a damn. So I'd recommend this kit if you're interested in distillation. Just add some money to your budget for a burner that actually works. There's no way to attach it to a sink, which is what most people do for their cooling systems. I'm not sure how that's typically done, but you'll need to consider that too. That's no fault of the company though. I've never seen a kit that comes with everything you need to attach to a sink. But I like my idea more, anyway. It keeps the sink and kitchen open for my family to use while I work on my distillation projects. I just bought some extra clear vinyl tubing (also from Vevor) and hooked it up to a nice fountain with a 2 gallon capacity to cycle water through the condenser coil. It looks beautiful and sounds like a little waterfall. Adds to the alchemy lab aesthetic. And guests love to see it. All in all, 3 out of 5. It could be 5 out of 5. But they need to replace the hotplate with one that actually gets hot. This is more of a lukewarm plate

Auch nach Anforderung habe ich keine lesbare Aufbauanleitung in deutscher Sprache erhalten. Die auf der Webseite hinterlegte ist nur mit Lupe erkennbar.

The setup is great, needs a separate pump which is easy enough to find, but the hotplate does not work for the intended use. I can tell if the water actually got to a boil it'd work - but the hotplate isn't really up to the task, even put in a small amount of already heated water and couldn't get going.

Je suis déçue par le système de chaleur, la plaque électrique n'est absolument pas adaptée pour distiller. Donc je ne peux pas distiller. L'inconvénient de ce produit c'est que l'on ne peut pas trouver des pièces de rechange. ex: le ballon de la matière à distiller. Et donc on est obligé de racheter un kit complet.

The burner/hot plate is very problematic. It takes hours to heat up and never gets to an adequate temperature to build up enough steam for the distillation to be complete. The rest of the set up is nice but I have not had any success yet with even steam collection, let along essential oil extract.

Hot plate didn't heat the flask to boiling point bought a separate hot plate and flask broke while heating

The heat source is not sufficent to produce steam. I try, to use the product outside when it was around 35C, and is not working at all.

Idk what to say. I'm very disappointed. The glassware is full of bubbles, scratches and even 2 internal cracks. I doubt it's borosilicate glass. I don't know what others received, but what I got is no high quality as advertised. As they refused my request for return I will try to use it, hoping all will go well. Also delivery was late so I anyway missed neroli, but this happened probably because of Greek courier ACS which is the worst here.
