My black /red hybrid did the same thing. My thumbnail was all it took to flake the rest off. It'll just scratch off. It's fine though! I think it looks cooler now than it did!

Did that happen after time or did your blem arrive in the condition that mine did?

No. Mine happened after time. It was brand new when I bought it. I would say 3 months or so after I got it it started flaking off in big chunks.

Some of those $3 specials at Provape would do the trick - here's a purple one still available in Mini size

I bought one of the Zombie Mini wraps. Looks cool.

My wife likes the giraffe one and I think the graphite ones look pretty cool.

They go on in seconds as well and seem to stay on.

I wouldnt be too upset with that after 3 months, but recieving it new (even as a $29.95 blem) to me is unacceptable to me.

YMMV, but I would immediately send it back. A blem should have imperfections like scratches and SMALL finish flaws. It shouldn't look like it was relic'ed by a 5 year old using a sandblaster.

Ou darn I wish I would have known this before I bought 3 different hybrid colors :( Oh well I can always take them down to the under color or do wraps if they start peeling

I bought a used black/red 2.5 from the classifieds and it was HEAVILY used by the original owner for a couple of years. It shows wear, but no peeling or premature wear. Same with my Zombie P3 and 2 black Classics. No issues at all.

With no new blems arriving on the scene Friday, we start our weekend with a total of 40 blems:

GMZ 12
Sangria 11
Blue 4
Red 2
Pink 8
Green 3

It may be the end of the Stock Up For The Rest of Your Life party.

I'm still hoping for those Bronze and Stealth blems.

A man's gotta dream!

Where do you find the numbers ? I still betting on the pink.

I really, really like the zen cote. I wish it was available in other colors.

Just got this in! Gotta say that this is truly a blem

Bummer :( My sale white to black fade came through flawless. I could not find the "blem". Hope they make that right because that is not a "blem"

Just put one of each model into your shopping cart, change the quantity to a few hundred each, recalculate, and the site will adjust the quantity based on current stock levels.

Re: Zenkote... I have both gold and gun metal and they look amazing and the finish should last almost forever.

I just put them in my cart, then change the order quantity to 100 and hit recalculate. It a form at self torture for me as I think I already overdid it.

The Gun Metal Zenkote is something I debated about until I got one. It is a really elegant tough finish and my favorite now.

Same here. I debated buying gold Zenkote and GMZ as I amsolutely can't stand how my polished stainless P3 feels in my hand. Too slippery. Zenkote feels and looks great.

And the 40 blems we started the day with is down to 26...

Bet they don't make it through the weekend.

Someone (I'm guilty too) seems to say this every week and then... SUPRISE!!!!.... we found a couple hundred more blems!

I wouldn't be absolutely shocked if this was the last of them, but I would be suprised based on new stock arriving suddenly over the last few weeks.

I have 7 of the 2.5's, so I am finished buying them no matter how long they stick around.

It's finally in my hands! The very last Titanium White Mini ever made direct from the mothership, and it arrived in bubble wrap. This is how you all must have felt many moons ago before they invented boxes. And it came with 2 juice samples, that's a new one for me.

Happy, happy, happy.

I agree, this is definitely below Provape's standards, even for a blemished one. I just got my Titanium White blem, and if you look closely at my photos, you can see tiny nicks in the finish where the end cap screws on. That's what I consider an acceptable blemished mod from Provape.

Looks just like the one I got on eBay a year and a half ago for 180 bones.

Congrats!!!
