Its seems to me that it's not pot or reflux stilling and it would be a new and fun subject and learning experience for a lot of us.

For me vacuum distilling is well remember that part about the victrola and the dog. :? :? I'm starting to get it but not really.

its simple,, pressure increases boiling/vapor temperature(pressure canners), vacuum decrease boiling/vapor temperature. so if you lower the pressure enough a liquid will boil at room temperature, the problem is that all has to be seald. even the collection.
