What's wrong with an Easystill?
OK so I posted in the novice section about this and it was advised against as I expected. As a primary still I realize the Easystill is much too small to make any decent cuts with, but other than that what's wrong with it? Is it dangerous or something? Plastics in vapor path?

Plug that into HD Google search and come to your own conclusions.

If you can't be a good example, at least be a terrible warning
Re: What's wrong with an Easystill?
I'll sum it all up for you:
1) as you've mentioned they are small and making good cuts is harder - less separation between heads/hearts/tails.
2) they only have one power setting
3) some have plastics in output spout
4) synthetic seals
But, for some this is the ideal rig. If you want to dip your toe in, or if you have no space, then it's better than nothing.
