I think it is an excellent idea. However since it has not been determined whether the contamination is of lower or higher boiling point than water, the last should not be distilled either, the contamination may be coming over in the last 10% instead of the first 10%.

Ah, I've been running experiments, and in a second distilling pass the first half came out .5 uS and the second half .8 uS. What does this tell me about the boiling point of "x" ? Would that mean it is higher or lower than the boiling point of water?
thanks,
It would be indicative of a lower vapor pressure, which equates with a higher boiling point. Another possibility is splatter or entrainment, where particles of salt are getting transported to the condenser by splatter or steam movement (like dust in a wind). As the water boils down, the salt content goes up, thus increasing the transfer of the particles.
