If the neck of your flask is short, you don't want to fill the flask too high (more than about 1/2), or else liquid from the flask will enter your distilling tube and get distilled out when you heat it. Remember the idea of a distillation is to heat up your substance to the vapor phase and let the vapor diffuse toward the distillation tube so that only purified product drips into the collecting flask.
