You should return it if its stuck lol. Btw that thing has a much more airy draw than the Kayfun lite plus v2 I have.

She is :facepalm:

On my Tobeco, you can lock up the juice control if the 510 is in too far. Only 'tinkering' I had to do was take apart the build deck and reassemble the parts inside the 510 connector, but that was my fault from messing with the AFC/510.. Somehow I loosened that top most threaded piece that the 510 screws into (the one with the slotted screwdriver top), and the 510 was just sitting in there.. Caused not only some ohm fluctuations, but THAT was the cause of the gap and wobbling when the JC was closed..

I wish there was more information and availability of the Infinite version. I am leery about buying one because the few I have seen are packaged in the same box as a few others.

Go for the Tobeco - least amount of problems and very cheap.
The Infinite clones aren't manufactured by them, they're sourced from different factories -apparently.

Is that just the 4 or all of their stuff? I have an Infinite KFL+ v2 and Lava (Magma clone) and they are solid. Their KFL gets beat by the EHPro I have only cause of the airflow and bigger drip tip bore, but the Infinite one is way tougher/heavier construction.. You could do some damage if you threw it at someone/something.. They're doing something right.,

Seems to be the general consensus at Fasttech, Infinite are supposed to get the bulk of their gear from SXK but sometimes it's sourced from lesser factories.

I know some people are reticent about buying Tobeco gear but they've been solid just lately.

I thought SXK WAS Infinite?? Yeah I passed up Tobeco and went with Infinite/EHPro before but shinyitis kicked in on the KF4. I have 2 Tobecos now and they rule!! The only 'mishaps' I've had so far were my own doing..

Bottom fill may work. But it takes away from one of the best features of the v4. The ability to top fill.

I think I already mentioned it but I have been in touch with the seller I bought it from. They are going to be contacting EHPro about this to try to find out if they even know they made the error. Or if it was done intentionally how they expect it to work properly.

Why not just use the juice control when you fill it...

- Close the juice control
- Top fill the atty
- Secure top cap
- Turn it up-side-down
- Open the juice control

That should allow excess pressure to escape without flooding the atty....

Yeah I guess in theory that should work.

But, and I am just playing devil's advocate here, if you put the non slotted top cap on with the juice control closed there is going to be a large amount of pressure built up inside because the air wasn't able to escape. Where is that pressure going to go before opening the JC???

Yep. On mine it floods it. The JC fully closed isn't strong enough on mine to hold the pressure.

Which is what I was thinking. The air has to go somewhere. It is going to find any way it can to escape.

I guess another workaround would be to thread the cap in just a few turns. Turn it upside down, open the juice control and then thread the cap the rest of the way in. That way the air is at the top with it flipped and as you screw the cap on it will push the air out. But again this is not how the v4 is meant to work.

Yes, its worth a try. So is doing it very slowly. And bottom fill definitely works because I've done it.

Technically Infinite is the seller. Most machining is done by SXK.

Hotcig is a reseller with most machining done by Eacheley.

HCigar is also a reseller, not a manufacturer.

I'm not gonna do anything with mine until I hear back from my seller. I don't want to use it and then have them decide to not take it back. Right now they are willing to. Just waiting to see if they hear back from EHPro. Kills me to have this gorgeous RTA just sitting there unused. LOL
