If I only put one quart in it will still be the same distance from the coils 
and distiller because it has an automatic fill on it.  When the resevoir is 
full it stops filling and not until.  I don't believe I can change this but 
thanks for the suggestion.

      I have a cheap water distiller ($100). I find the water turns out better 
if you only fill it with 3 Quarts instead of
  4 quarts water. When it is full and boiling I think it is too close to the 
condenser part on top. You have nothing to lose by distilling 3 Quarts as it 
takes less power. I have gas hot water so I use hot water from tap.
  Gas is cheaper than electric at least where I am.  Hope this helps you got 
nothing too lose. I would be interested in if this helps for others.
