Cobbit Stem Replacement

[pipesmokingtom]

MORNING!
Any resources for a cobbit stem replacement? Seems like Forever Stems is unavailable and MM doesn't offer them on their own. I have a Wizard Cobbit bowl I got in a grab bag and I can't get a stem for it!

Have you called MM? Marilyn sent me a replacement when I had a defective one on my Wizard.

I did speak to Marilyn - she said they aren't available to acquire individually. Replacements for defectives, I'm glad they take care of.
If only I had fewer scruples, I would claim defect and try to get one. Alas, my mamma raised me better.

Mine came with a thick vulcanite stem. I filed and sanded the button and then I heated it up in some water and gently bent it
While it's not as open as I would like its good enough now.

No one has any ideas of where to acquire a stem for one though, eh?

@Pipesmokingtom - PM me if you are still looking. I have extra stems from a Shire Cobbit. Not as long as Wizard Cobbit stem, but close. Also, the Shire Cobbit stem is slightly bent.

Just get a Vulcanite Freehand stem, they usually fit ("Usually." Some of those Wizards have different sizes on the mortise than others).

The Freehand Stem will also fit all the Filter Bit Cobs.
