All assembled over here and working. Working well ~6.3 to be exact. All wiring is good and no hot spot reading on connections or plug.
The tip of the bulb is against the screen but I have ~ 1/8 inch between socket and balls of free space. Is this the way or should I be having a more solid pack around the bulb?

It won’t impact performance as long as you have the right weight of beads. I have a little extra space too and they rattle around if turn it the right way.

Nice looking setup with the heatshield! I notice that you've got your power plug installed inside of the heatshield, while all the other people using Ed's TNT heatshields have their power plugs hanging outside of the wooden unit on a cable. Have you done something special there to your highlighter to get it to fit completely inside the heatshield? Looks very tidy!

I have mine flush now. I had it outside at first and just didn’t like it. I did nothing special to it. See second photo for how it’s done on the inside!

All credit goes to @RedEyeFlightControl , the Higher Collective, and @Ed's TnT !
I just guided the braided wire along the edge of the heat shield underneath the power plug and just happens to fit really snug.

You'd think the power plug would give it "a little extra flavor," but to my taste buds there is no difference in flavor at any temp. To be fair, I haven't done any side-by-side tests between 2 units (one with plug in/one without), I'm just going off of the few months using the HLT without the heatshield, and month or so since I've had the heatshield. If I ever get a second HLT I'd love to do a side-by-side taste test and share the results!

I don’t know if this is a good idea or not but it sure is tasty using the HLT like a Woodscents
So here's a fun tidbit for anyone looking for a more precise out-of-the-box power supply for their HLT (or woodcents, vapbong, underdog, or any other 12v vape). I snagged one of these Sinilink XY3605 Voltage REGulators from amazon (basically a mini benchtop psu style buck-boost converter) and have been loving it with my HLT.
Something like "upgrade controller" you can get with other brands/vapes, but this one tells you what it's eating for lunch, can be programmed for time, current, temp, and voltage safeties, charts/graphs usage, can run in CV or CV modes, and takes a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel plug from at 12v 6a power brick. No voltage drift, either, once the core is hot
She's been rock solid. My ONLY complaint is the sheisty plastic encoder knob on the top - it's the only "cheap" feeling part. I'm probably going to replace mine with a print of some sort. You can actually even put this inline with your cheapie amazon VVPS left on max/12v and let this take over its workload.
Oh, did I mention this can run off of your car's 12v socket (or any other source up to 36v)? Or a USB C PD portable battery?
This VREG is doing a splendid job! I bought a second for my woodscents (or whatever else I have on my desk at that time).
I'm also working on a DIY version of this vreg that uses a slightly more simple buck boost module and some printed parts- more to come on that soon
The XY3605 has M2 (2mm) banana jacks. You will need to adapt this to your HLT, if you buy this VREG. This is quickly approaching my "highly recommended" list for HLT upgrades. I've ordered some blank M2's to use with a DC power jack, and a M-M 5.5x2.1 extension cable for a more versatile solution.
I'm currently proto'ing a DIY style unit for one of my customers - more to follow.

I have a similar model with an app control, i have suggested it at few threads before.

Very nice @RedEyeFlightControl! These work quite well, too:
It's basically a DiY solution using a common buck booster module that someone has put together and is selling as a mini power supply.

Same basic concept! Ideally tailored specifically for vape IO with native 5.5mm jacks all around, in this use caseVery nice @RedEyeFlightControl! These work quite well, too:

I made a new heat shield out of an $8 hamster tube on Amazon.

I'd be interested in seeing more of this build, what stand are you using?Using the world famous HLT thermal core I made my very own "Log Lamp"
Thank you for making the design open source! I believe the voltage is set at 6.32 in these photos.View attachment 14015
