Pretty darn sad. Got my G2 nessie gas mask today Mx. This is my favorite color by far (teal/turquoise) and the cap won't fit on the stem. I own quite a few artisans, specifically Gas masks, so I know when it doesn't feel right and upon closer inspection to the stem, it seems its defected.
I also tried a few different boards (and switches) with no luck. Don't want to push any harder as i don't want to break a stem, and if it has troubles going on, I really don't want to deal with pulling it out.
Tried to take a picture as best as I could.
