CEC_Tech I do plan on using brita water... if I am going to put it in my humidor I want pure water!

zipper I never though about using the lid trick... that would work for sure.

NCRadioMan I was worried about using foil... would there be any aluminum transfer??

nosaj02 no worries brother, I live in a town of 230 we only have one store here and we are a fly in community!

In which case your reading comprehension is a tad off, give it another read.

Craig, I like Old Sailor's idea of just using a kettle, probably alot easier then going the pot & lid route.
The only problem I have with that is that I am afraid about the crap in my kettle. Would that cause a problem... and yes a new kettle is on my summer list!!

Re: Making distilled water
nosaj02 I never thought you were being an ass at all, I was sure at least one person would say it was cheaper and easier to buy it... but like the guys said I am VERY remote.. like Old Sailor said we are not even a town, we are a simple hamlet!!

Thanks for all the help guys, keep it coming as I am sure there are more ideas out there. I do love knowledge!!

The reason I am wondering this is, I fixed the crack in the glass on the humidor that Navydoc sent me... I will make a thread with pics when I get home... I put in one Boveda seasoning pack two days ago and the humidity is still only 43% so I was going to jump start it with some distilled water.

*EDIT* nosaj02 thank you for the offer brother but it would really cost a lot!! I will have some after the summer so I just need a little right now!

My apologies...
I thought perhaps...it was a "bead issue".

I think he has a point. Both methods are pretty simple, and will do the trick. I think the tea kettle would be much quicker though and much less labor intensive.

Though...You do work in the school...and I only remembered this method because I did a science project with my mom, a science teacher...Cheap labor?

Re: Making distilled water
The best method for you would to be the way zipper described. Just boil and collect the steam.

As to another point, I don't see how your science lab doesn't have the necessary equipment for doing this. It's chemistry 101. All you would need are flasks, a distiller tube and heat source. You really don't even need the distiller tube if you have a cork and some tubing.

Also, try googling distilling. A TON of links will pop up some with videos even. It's all pretty simple.
