I highly recommend @TwistedStill tools. Especially in/for that new lab, would be right at home…
They are a step above the rest.

That is something worth knowing. Good on you.
I’d hate to see some janky chrome plated screwdriver potentially have chrome flaking off into the oil.

lol definitely knew they weren’t chrome plated. Never would have used it if so

That is not always how it happens
Sometimes the chrome plating violently detaches from the screwdriver due to differences in thermal coefficient.
I only use good dab tools now

So its actually got vapor proof switches. A power switch, and a toggle between “on” and a cycle timer that kicks on for 30 seconds every 15 minutes currently. It will ensure a safe work space…safety built in to the system.

now just needs a “huff gas? Panic!” circuit.
or a bigger fan and a big red “DON’T Panic” button 
(mine turns the lights out when the booth hits 100% LEL…NO, you can’t just hit “silence” and keep working…)

At the beginning I was saying that I’m standing in a positive down draft room, with a floor vent on each side of the collection and there is another in the back corner of the room.

All electrical is outside the building, main kill switch when you walk outside. Not a single plug or unsealed light fixture inside, all pumps/chillers hard wired.

I like the main kill switch outside the building.
Hardwiring everything is the way.

A couple of tricks. You can add an air purge kit to turn a standard control panel into a NEMA 7 or 9 explosion proof.
An electrical inspector confided in me that they first look to see how neat and professional the job looks before deciding how deeply to inspect the details.

This is what we call “the dog and pony show”. That and always leave obvious mistake that can be easily fixed while the inspector is still on site. Lots of inspectors don’t feel right telling you your work is impeccable, so if something is left undone that they can pick out it keeps them from digging until they find something else (which, if your work is impeccable will probably not even be a real mistake).
