My Yoyofactory Tactic’s axle keeps coming loose, causing vibe. Should I get some locktight to secure it in?

You could do that, or you could put some teflon tape on it (you don’t have to wait the day for loctite to dry) then I usually use a small wrench to twist the axle into the axle hole. then you can turn it 90 degreed each time until the yoyo have little to no vibe.
