ETHANOL REDUCTION STILL

Hello, concentrate makers. I asked this question on Ask FC and got no responses.

Can anyone here recommend a 220V still for alcohol reduction and reclamation?

I am not looking to make moonshine so an "air still" would be easier for me than a two or three pot system.

These seem to be the current top candidates:

and
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/4L-750W-110...615270&hash=item1f0430cbe8:g:inIAAOSwVc9dsXit

Does anyone have experience with either of these units?

Is the Amazon offering worth the extra $100?

I need it to ship to Israel.

Thanks for your help.

I have a similar distiller. It's something like this

https://www.nutriteam.com/stainless...YYfopq_WPctoKjJb5qbv8wrHJb7h34UUaAhjYEALw_wcB

I bought it as a essential oil distiller, but I don't think they sell my model anymore. It uses a lower temp than a water distiller. It's somewhat like your links.

I've had it about ten years, and used it a lot. One safety tip is not to unplug at the unit to turn it off. Instead use a long extension cord. Alcohol fumes condense around it when the lid is off and are highly flammable.

Now days I use it with 99% ISO to strip used rosin pucks. I finish on a coffee warmer, then dilute with ethanol to winterize. Winterizing adds a step but makes the final oil much better.

I use mine on a card table in a pole barn with a lot of ventilation. You have to remove the top to check how much liquid is left. If you overshoot, you could burn concentrate.
