Been tweaking things such as temp probe location, air flow/heat retention, etc. and it's really smoothing out nicely. Attached are a few pics of the 'work in progress'... not that much different than what I first built 7 yrs ago, just refined and much more robust. Spyderman24-7 attached the following images:

The hot air exhaust area is at least double than a standard hotgun, about 75mm dia vs 35 mm the hotgun. As a bonus, the hot air stream is rotating/vortex, at the heater output! thus a better dispersion and uniformity.

Honestly there won't be a 'future model', bwahaha... this setup gives me insane control and consistent feedback, not to mention impressive lifespan/reliability. I'd never trust a popper heater setup to do very much regardless of how it's implemented.
