AD searchI've been a regular visitor for over a year and finally decided to say something.
Proud owner of an Air Still which was my only choice due to living in a very small flat. this will be upgraded in a few years when I retire.
i never followed the instructions that came with the still as I had spent many hours educating myself on this site. TPW, CFW and MacRum.
It just keeps getting better!!!

G-day and welcome ,from small things big things grow,an air still may be humble but it is a start none the less,and liveing in a small unit has it's limitations,I started with one and always thought about makeing a bigger version as not haveing ta bother with cooling water makes it very simple and easy ta use.cheers hillzabilly :handgestures-thumbupleft:
