He didn't seem too roughed up when he got out. Maybe he pummeled the mods.
Fortunately for me, I'm not that bothered by it. I would love to have it flush, but it's a tiny little gap that is only there with P3 threaded tanks and is not as bad.
My only 2 P3 threaded tanks are the K4 and now the Kabuki (both named with a K… interesting
.) I'll get the P3 bases for the Calix and Apollo from ByLeo when they're available though.

K is for KD (if they work to your liking).
Otherwise, K is for Katastrophic. (works both ways fer me)
I'm sincerely glad that your lack of flush is not bothering you. You COULD always bling it, if need be...
"Dumb" being the operative word (trust...).
The funniest part, Rod, is that the mod HAS AN ADJUSTABLE SPRING. Yes, I COULD fix the Gaposisaggedon, yet I DON'T ... CARE A SMIDGE ABOUT IT.
Me, the fashionista. Go figure.
It's good to not be OCD, like I am. For if it was mine, it would bother the poop out of me. Yes indeed it would!
Don't have a gap on mine either. So I don't see how it could be ProVape's problem...

Well I take that back... There is a very small gap, didn't notice it at all until I held it up to the light and could see it. It's maybe a .25mm gap and generally not that noticeable unless you're looking very closely for it.

It might keep you from getting famous though, at least in the Andy Warhol sense.
Good point. The downside is some days I'll go to work totally forgetting that I didn't shave (I ALWAYS shower). Come 'round noon I'll realize that something's not quite right.
So a little OCD might be a good thing.
I like "gaps".
Took Jackie's K4 w/P3 threading (has paper gap), put it on mine - paper gap.
Although it doesn't necessarily mean every single one is flawed or everyone is going to care, can you imagine what this recall could cost?
coldgin96 bows out of P3 flaw conversation in this thread.
P.S. Jackie doesn't care. She said, "It's not like I'm going to hold it up to a light and say, look at the gap I can slide a sheet of paper through..."
P.P.S. Our P3's were delivered 16Jun15

It seems not all top caps have that problem, as there's been reports of absolutely no gaps and having more threads in there, so it might be related to some diminute tolerances in the machines or maybe dependent on when the part was machined (supposing the newer ones are the ones that don't have a gap.)

The 520s aren't going to have that problem, at least mine don't, because they are adjustable.
The P3 tanks seem to be having a problem, if it is even that, although; mine don't, even a little, and I've got Three of them.
My guess is it has to do with the P3, rather that the tank, because of the tight tolerances needed for the direct connection to the coil.
So maybe the adjustable pin doesn't adjust quite enough, or the pin is a bit too long on some, or a combination of both.

When it comes to tightening attys down...
I follow the Canadian Torque Spec...
Tighten till it strips, then back it off a 1/4 turn.
LOLz, Jim
