Not on the right track. I'll see if I can think of any other hints to give out while I'm doing my garden work.
Oh wait I thought of one now.
It is technology that has revolutionized other industries in the past. All of our lives have been affected by this technology in some way. Some of us may have even used very crude versions of it for other purposes in daily life.

A cheap enamel stock pot on your stove filled half full of water with the lid sealed shut and a hole drilled in the top for a copper coil (or thrift store pressure cooker) would work just as well, since you can use more than 1 1/2 cups of water. Serious essential oilmakers use superheated steam, it works a lot better.

Saturated steam works for mono and sesquiterpenes, but not so good on diterpenes like cannabinoids.
It also depends on what you are extracting. Heat destroys or alters some of the essential oils, as does water. The Essential Oil Company, here locally, uses saturated steam and equipment that they build themselves.
They also sell extraction equipment.
