Nice lateral thinking idea.
Why should the smaller holder be a turntable? Is it going to be on a large dining table with people sitting around?
Unnecessary complication to what is a perfect product in my opinion.

The Provari was cloned years ago. (body and shape, obviously not the electronics)
Then the manufacturers moved on to variable wattage chip that came out of China as that was far more accurate. Then they were no so much clones as similar competing devices.
Obviously, their quality control sucks ( I speak from first hand experience of repairing several chinese VW devices) and they are not built to last, but they put the more advanced devices into the hands of the masses. They all have their niche market. You can buy a designer belt for 7 times the price than at Primark. Some would say it's a piece of leather and buy at Primark and others would go for the designer belt.
It's all down to individual choice. If there is one problem with the Provari, it's the glue that holds the circuit board to the body. My V2 had a problem because I was dropping batteries down the tube which knocked the glue loose and I had to open it up to fix it.

A proper NAS drive will be ethernet wired to the router. All clients connected to it can access the files depending on equipment capabilities.
It's like a mini network computer and many of them also support running bit torrent clients and webcasting which means you can access your files where ever you go but you need a good upload speed from your broadband.
It will also have a couple of USB ports so you can enhance storage by plugging in USB drives. You can buy them ready made ie.,with a hard drive or just the shell and put in one or two HDD's of your choice depending on the shell.

If you want to make it reasonably future proof, get a 2 TB NAS drive.
Connects to your router and you can access files from any device connected to the router including gaming consoles, smartphones and modern televisions.

Outstanding!
Especially since it is built with hand tools. Labour of love.

Is there a "Buy one if you want to" option?

Fit the SS tank section on top of the plastic and you can use the longer chimney.

If you use google chrome you can get an extension that puts the download video option in various bitrates right below the video. mandel-design.xf.cz/Chrome-Youtube-Downloader/You have to manually add the extension to chrome. Easily the best I have used.

Didn't read the whole thread, but the use of distilled or de-ionized water is more to prevent conductivity than purity.
I have vaped 100% tap water to loosen nasal congestion with no issues whatsoever. Everything else is just overkill.
