I'm learning a lot of random stuff about small engines.

So, @cannabineer and/or you other chemists....I'm thinking of going old school instead of a rotovap. Does this list look like everything I need to do vacuum extractions of QWET? I'll also get a beaker set. Hopefully my cart will show....

I drove to Harbor Freight last night to pick up a 20 ton press...Got there about 7:10 pm....they closed at 7 
They have been tight with the 20% coupons lately, but they have a 10% one good now for just a few days...Might go back and get one, or might wait for 20% off!

Their site and my phone hate each other. How much for the glass set? (Edit: opened it on my desktop. Good prices. But the 13 pc set with the distillation column would be my pick at $67.)I'll try it this way...

It looks to me like you have glass that won’t be needed, like extra condensers and multineck flasks. You need vacuum adapters and a good filter.

A vacuum chamber is nice, but a flask with a vacuum adapter works well too.

I would get a nonstirring mantle and spend the extra on a 500 watt variac.

That glass set is $123 and does have some extra stuff. They do have a cheaper distillation set, but it didn't have a Claisen adapter...Here it is, for $68 with a less fancy condenser. It was another $20 to buy a Claisen adapter on Amazon, If I even really need one.

Wait no -
the one I like better has a distillation column for a buck less.

Their sales are usually on ONE item, which kinda sucks unless it's a big item -- like a 20 ton press!I drove to Harbor Freight last night to pick up a 20 ton press...Got there about 7:10 pm....they closed at 7

I am trying to avoid small engines by wasting time on YouTube.
This video is very interesting, but I do have ADD so there's that.

VEVOR Lab Multi-Purpose Water Circulating Vacuum Pump,15L, with 2 Off-Gas Taps,Stainless Vacuum Pump 180W 110V,Anti-Corrosion Pump Lab Chemistry Equipment | VEVOR US
VEVOR water circulating vacuum pump offers high-efficiency vacuuming, dual suction taps, a 15L tank, quiet operation, and versatile use in various lab settings.
So I am hoping this will do 2 things for me...1, provide vacuum for the distillation process, and 2, work as a low budget chiller with ice in it, to cool the condenser, since I'll only use this on occasion...But I'm a little unsure if it can do both things at once. I think so though.
What would I use a 500 watt variac for?

Gonna take another scooter ride to the lake since it's 69f and sunny. I was going to ride my bike today, but it is supposed to rain off and on the next few days, but still be in the 60s, so I'll get out on the bike then. Electric scooter in the rain es no bueno. I'll try to snap some covert pics of the jogging hotties and post them, wish me luck.

The variac is for fine control of mantle heat. I’d buy standard Glas-Col mantles which are non-adjustable, as mantles are wear items.
and Yes that’s the kit!

Only 50F and sunny here but it's supposed to be warmer the next few days...Mid 60's on Thursday.
I was just working on my e-bike this morning. I epoxied the pedal assist sensor in place, installed a seat post shock absorber, and installed a lift on the handlebars....I can raise them as much as 6", but I'm also going to need a longer front brake cable, which I ordered.
I hope to be riding soon myself!

I keep reading that people are using this Circulating Water Vacuum Pump double duty for vacuum and cooling the condenser, unless a rotovap is different, or I misunderstand. But I suppose even if I used it for vacuum only, then I can recirculate ice water for the condenser separately if need be, with a small aquarium pump and a bucket of ice water.
I was just reading up on variacs and Glas-col, and I see the importance of not over heating ethanol
but damned we are talking some serious money to buy lab grade stuff! !! Lot's of used Glas-col on EBay. I did see you can actually make a home made variac from a wall dimmer switch some how! I also read a poor mans way to go is an oil bath, which that's what I used on my 1st experiment.Ugh, so much to learn, so much to do, which does makes it interesting... I feel confident about your glassware choice. And the stand set is probably ok. Vacuum pump will work...Heat source, maybe I better keep reading, or I have my trusty oil bath.
Oh, and maybe I need a small magnetic heater / mixer for warming and mixing distillates / rosins, final cooking of oils, etc.
