@JEMSKU, sounds good, made one similar (different buck converter)
Just like the rest of the box, it's far from perfect or what I had imagined beforehand, (initial idea was to use those polymer clays that you cook, but is quite tricky to work with). Grabbed a tiny hardwood handle had lying around and drilled it out to fit onto potentiometer, then glued a glass bumble bee to it (if those wings last 6 months, will be amazed)

What a setup! This makes me realize I could possibly put a bit more effort in than stripping some wires and screwing them into the connectors... These different converter kits really look like they're meant to be installed or mounted into a sort of project.
All the beauty being shared recently makes me want to share a recent story....
'Twas a regular evening, I enjoyed my woodscents thoroughly until time came for sleep. I leaned over and clicked off my wifi plug, pulled off my blanket, and went upstairs. As I moved off the couch I was aware of catching the cord on my foot and flicking my woodscents onto a different part of the couch. I wasn't terribly concerned, the device was off and would cool quickly, and it landed softly. All was fine, or so I thought in my overtired and medicated state....
The next day, the damage was discovered. The woodscents had somehow ended up underneath the blanket. My wifi plug had failed me, the faulty button had clicked but not properly activated, and the woodscents stayed hot and cooked under the blanket all night.
Amazingly, the woodscents still functions perfectly and my house did not burn down. The damage was purely cosmetic, and emotional:
I have seen this sort of sap seepage in the WS before, when I first got it, in very small amounts around around where the heater is mounted on the inside. It's stubborn stuff, and obviously this is a much more extreme case. It's been a sad time. I reached out to Ed, and hearing his response coming from a craftsman with so much experience was even more disheartening:
OMGOSH
Bro I have never seen that happen before
I am at a loss
IDK what to say
...
All I can think of is maybe tear it apart again and get some 0000 wire wool and try that
It's never gonna be the same
I haven't taken this step yet. I've decided to continue using the WS as normal, and let the liquids reabosrb as much as they naturally can, and keep the wood nicely conditioned with BAB. I will eventually open up the WS again and follow his advice, but I'm not sure how much of the beauty will be recovered as the grain seems to have been stained in many areas. This is currently how it looks:
I am at least thankful that Ed and produced a very durable machine, which withstood an insulated oven while running overvolted for 8 hours, and that my house did not burn down. I really deserve to pay more for such a careless mistake. My hope is that I can at least partially restore the beauty, as it deserves more than the reults of my poor care:
I guess it's got character now! Happy vaping all.
