For the record: "Danke Schoen" is in my head and I really have no idea why.

Reworked a cheapo Beast Box today. Big radii in the corners, rounded and smoothed edges everywhere. Now it feels really nice in the hand. Gonna install a new "high flush" switch and Fatdaddy spring loaded core for the 510 connector. Just have to wait for the linseed oil to dry a bit before reassembly.

I'm not getting fresh but that turns me on. Love working with my hands and admire anybody else that is 'crafty' and artful, esp. with woods and metals.

The leaking is because of the pressure of the fluid in the tank being high enough to push some of the liquid in the chamber while you are filling it. Same thing happens when you top fill any other RTA.

Basically you are flooding the chamber and the excess liquid that gets high enough in the juice wells to rise above the air flow holes before you get the cap closed is what is leaking.

It clears up after you vape a bit because you are burning off the excess fluid in the juice wells, but it will probably gurgle for a bit. you can help this clear quicker by firing it a couple of times without inhaling, or better and faster is turn it upside and fire it so that capillary action of the wick can't pull anymore fluid into the chamber.

This is the reason why the Kayfun v4 has the closeable liquid control.

Cover up the air holes while you fill and it will help.
Have you seen the air holes on the bottom of this Erlkonigin? They're recessed down around the 510 pin. It's impossible (if you can figure out a way, let me know) There are two holes of the same size on top. You can choose either one for the fill hole; the other is for air to push out as the tank fills. Doesn't seem to help the matter, though.

In any case, I discovered that the 510 pin is wiggly. And I found some ecf and reddit posts on the same problem; their iStick vibrating due to a bad connection caused by the atty. Could be that wiggly pin. Also, the AF control disk that spins around the 510 pin prevented the atty from sitting flush. Some people remove it completely for full open AF. I did, hoping it would sit flush w/o it.

Nope didn't realize that. Sounds like a poor design decision given the top fill method. If you have something like a Tobeco coil jig that has a hole on the side of it that lets you screw down flush to the bottom of the atty for building, maybe that would help prevent some of the backflow.
