Mike's Essential Oil still
Mike demonstrates how quickly and easily it is to set up and operate his essential oil still. Able to extract essential oils in a third of the time it takes other stills on the market. As it has been designed to work with essential oil extraction on a personal scale so even the hobbiest can use it, yet the speed at which it extracts the oils attracts "production level" attention. http://www.mikesstills.com/
