I use the tempered glass turntable from a broken microwave for a diffuser. It's 12" in diameter (15/16" gap around the outside).
Your build is complex and expensive, but VERY nice!

My IQ setup is really simple; just a single 1" hose barb w/ conduit nuts inside and out. The barb gets kinda hot, but I only push the IQ hose on about 1/2" and...
