The AFC ring is part of the Spheroid 4's base and yes it is connected as a hybrid with the Piccolo, no top cap is needed. You just unscrew the 510 bottom cap and a GPin is revealed
Heron : “hey! Its mini me!”
Engraving Toooo Awwwwwwwwwww
Hmm get your thinking caps on!
Love your Yankee!!!
And d loves p doesn't sound quite right them Dems....

I have been asked about the small gap appearing on the photos with the hybrid connection. Practically is non existent, I just forgot to remove an O-ring which tightens the Spheroid's 510 base cap with the housing
Hate when that happens! Us OCD people.. Oh my..
Get your mind outta the gutter, sheeshEngraving Toooo Awwwwwwwwwww

I pledge allegiance, to the VapourArt, and the GP for which it stands, the Spheroid v4 indivisible, with hybrid and AFC for all!!!Hi buddy, long time no see
One air slot 3 mm, thank you!

Not me. I imagine that the diameter of the base has been reduced to accommodate an AFC ring to keep it at 16mm overall and you would need to drill a hole on the side for airflow (if you wanted to take advantage of the AFC). Given that there's now a GPin inside and it hybrids with the Piccolo, I assumed that the bottom cap is different as well. I imagine that the Spheroid v4 base is completely different from prior versions of the base, although I wonder if it's compatible with prior versions of the tubes and bell.
I see your point. But I cant help but wonder if it has similar base assembly as heron, then the smaller diameter is the native thread with a gpin assembled with a disk that is to the connection as the heron. Picture the 510 connector removed and a mini heron gpin in its place, external threading for the piccolo... Different base of course. if what I envision is correct, it could be shorter in length.
Of course, this is me thinking out loud.

I'm eager to see additional pictures, particularly of the internals, and learn more. We know from the previously released pictures that the AFC ring is 16mm in diameter (the same as the Piccolo) and I assume that it can be used in both hybrid and non-hybrid mode. Physics dictates that you can't fit a 16mm Spheroid v4 AFC ring on a 16mm Spheroid v3 base.
It's not clear to me if the GPin will screw in to a Delrin disk that screws into the base like the Heron or if it will be held in place with o-rings like the Piccolo (my guess is the latter). Based on comments from Perseas ("You just unscrew the 510 bottom cap and a GPin is revealed") I imagine that the Spheroid v4 base is like the Heron with the GPin and that there's a bottom cap with a 510 connector with the same threading as the Piccolo that screws on top of it.

Absolutely, IF you could upgrade to a v4, it would have to be a new base.
Add to that, this is all a moot point if the v4 will be print pressed instead of screwing to the base.

And that would be what I get for not paying full attention in class. 
Errr, wait, what are we talking about again? I remember reading a couple tidbits on UKV, but I just skimmed the last few posts here, lol, I think I'm the one that didn't pay attentionAnd that would be what I get for not paying full attention in class.
I assumed you were talking about how the base and the tank fit together? Or were you referring to something else?

Spheroid v3 and speculation of v4. We were just wondering which rumor to spread
Which Rumor? SOrry I could not resist.
