Vinegar is a bad contaminant for distilled water. Acetic acid has a
significant vapor pressure at the boiling point of water, and will boil
off with it, then condense and end up in the distilled container. If
you want to make absolutely sure that no acetic acid is left, then
rinse, or wipe off with water mixed with sodium bicarbonate.

I'll try this Chuck, but wouldn't the vinegar itself be a contaminant? dee

Is it possible that your first use left the distiller with residue
from using up ALL the water? Thus adding contaminates for subsequent
batches? (you know, white stuff?)
Scrub it with a little white vinegar after use and try again.
Don't run the distiller 'till it's dry.
Preboiling the water before distilling is a good idea.
