Lots of regs need a purge shot after filling. I'm not 100% certain this is the exact reason but my thought is the filling process is much slower than the refresh rate after a shot so the regulator could either allow more or less air through before fully closing. That would could either cause partial valve lock if over or just a lower pressure first shot if under. If you refill before dropping off the reg does it still do that or only when refilling after dropping off? Still a great group!
