The etching is a dragon. I don't know why I bother as when I leave I take SS. To impress company that doesn't care, I guess.
I was going to ask that, but I thought maybe I was the only one who didn't know.
Are you two toying with me?
It's the infamous paper thin gap between the Kabuki and top cap of some of the earlier P3's.
I missed it by about a day or two. I put a Satin Black in my cart and paid $109 for it. Got a call the next day... "sorry, we're out of black." Day-um!!It's real alright...
Talked to dude again today that sent it. He said sales went up 200%, they upped their price to $129.99 and all they have left is the polished silver.
I got what I wanted for only $99.99 and yes, I'm giving credit to The Lord and that person who originally posted the link.

The paper gap is the gap that is between the P3 and Kabuki's that has occurred on some P3's.
I had this on my GMZ, UK buy Feb 2015, so not that old. Everything worked but if you held the P3 up to the light you could see a very tiny gap, paper thin.
Didn't bother me so just left it. As I had problems with the P3 electrics a month ago I mentioned this to Kim and my returned P3 was fixed and the electrics were sorted and the gap.
I don't think its a big deal, not perfect but would Vape the same as a P3 without the gap.
Must say a big thanks to Kim who was fantastic dealing with me as I'm in the UK not so easy on the phone and Provape for doing a great fix. Cheers

Same reason we like lights on our PVs.
It all adds to the enjoyment and keeps us off the cigs.
So dress 'em up!
Here you go. Pics or it doesn't happen. It never bothered me on my P3 and it doesn't bother me on my Procyon.
Top pic looks normal. Bottom pic shows the teeny tiny gap:
Ohhhh that. Did you get any of those spacers to hide the gap? I think it was Duane who posted about them.Here you go. Pics or it doesn't happen. It never bothered me on my P3 and it doesn't bother me on my Procyon.

I tend to agree, function over form. HOWEVER... What did the two of those pieces cost? Together? Both sold on ProVape's site?
Just me holding my two favorite vape companies feet to the fire.
Great pics, btw.
Oh, and just a refresher for all you new kids, I vape with nothing other than ProVari's and Kabuki's.
EDIT: In further contemplating my reply, I want to state that if the paper gap is somehow a necessary evil to obtain perfect and flawless operation in 100% of this vaping nirvana being sold, so be it. Is has not been and is not a deal breaker for me, obviously....

I I truly think we loyal can be overly OCD. Lord knows I am. But in this case the teeny tiny, oh so small gap is only noticeable because someone pointed it out once and I went a'looking for it on my device. I gave mine to Charlie and suggested he look for the gap (which TBH, one has to hold at just the right level/angle and with some light behind it and he honestly thought I'd lost my mind and was seeing something that doesn't exist. Even when I pointed it out, he couldn't see it. To your last comment, maybe it is or isn't on purpose. To me, it's just so infinitesimally small it's just not an issue.
I'm glad we have a place (forum) whereas we can get together and discuss/share these sort of things.
Or maybe the damned things function so well that we have nothing else to complain about?
Personally, I don't notice the gap with any of my Kabukis/Provaris. On the other hand, a Subtank Nano on a 2.5? Reminds me of Sandra Bernhard's smile.
My black P3 is on the way back.
