Have you tried treating it with this first
It works with bamboo and other woods and is food safe. It's deluxe!
There’s no way around periodic maintenance. But if you use more oil then you thought possible, and the last 2-5 coats (first time is 4-5, maintenance is 2-3) also contains wax, you’ll have better luck.

Ive heard people be leery of tung oil for not being food safe although don’t know if that’s true or not. All the same, I use Howard’s Butcher Block Conditioner
It has to be re applied as needed but has been great for the past couple years.
I like to use Howard on my cutting boards
I used Howard BBC012 Butcher Block Conditioner, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ESTA30/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001ESTA30&linkCode=as2&tag=diypete2-20&linkId=HUOWZ5JZSODQIFOU
I think its the lighting
You also need to oil your wooden cutting boards with a food safe oil - I've used this one before. This will also keep them from developing cracks or absorbing anything.
This is what I use Food Safe Make sure you treat both sides of the board.
I have all but 3 of the titanium tip versions that have been released so far, here's a pic of them http://imgur.com/a/aZS8zBG, the only ones missing are the gen 1 and 3, and the limited edition 7 fins; if you want to know anything about a specific tip feel free to ask. I like the new Vong tip quite a bit.
Did you get any conditioner for the wood? If not you should pick some up, it'll make it look a lot better and it'll protect the wood. Every couple of months I use this stuff on all my wood pieces https://www.amazon.ca/Howard-BBC012-Butcher-Conditioner-12-Ounce/dp/B001ESTA30/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=howard%27s+butcher+block+conditioner&qid=1627760711&sprefix=Howard%27s+Butchers+Block+&sr=8-3, it works just as well as the Dynawax, or any of the other wood vape brand conditioners, but it's much cheaper. I bought mine at a local hardware store, it's pretty easy to find. Any food grade wood conditioner will do though. Only apply it to the outside of the stem.
And don't forget to clean the bowl and condenser tube well before first use, they can be pretty nasty when new.
I use chopping block conditioner when I make toys for kids:

No wait, wrong link. I used the wax, not the oil. It's mineral oil and beeswax. Howard BBC012 Butcher Block Conditioner, 12-Ounce https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001ESTA30/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_2E642T0F9AHND1HMTHVS
