MM Cobbit Dwarf Stem Crooked

[nathaniel]

I know the MM vulcanite isn't really great quality, but how can I straighten a side-bent stem on an MM Cobbit Dwarf I bought recently?

Peyronie's Disease ??

I haven't tried this myself, but heating up the WHOLE stem with a heat gun until it's soft, then straighten and set under cold water.

Much cheaper than a urologist

Where did you find one that still has a vulcanite stem?

For 20$ id just smoke it

If you haven’t already smoked it, and it really bothers you enough …then I’d just contact the retailer and see it they can exchange the old stem for a new one. ️

PM me your info and I can send you a replacement stem. I have a stash of ebonite cobbit stems from donor pipes.

The first two years after releasing they were vulcanite. I had one of their wizards with the vulcanite stem then all at once their vulcanite stems on those and the big freehand sadly became acrylic.

I was under the impression it was vulcanite. it's softer than all my other vulcanite stems, and same as all my other MM's. I thought it was just black plasticish cheapo vulcanite. I've never had an acrylic stem, but thought they were harder than vulcanite.

Rub it with your thumb until the stem is warm. If it smell like hot rubber, it's vulcanite.

Boil some water and hold it over the steam for a few seconds ... that should heat it enough to correct the bend then run under cold water while holding it in place. A Heat gun is o.k. but the water is quicker and safer.

Yes if it's acrylic, I put the whole stem into the boiling water for about 5 minutes. Then bend on the edge of the rounded counter. However the term "side bent" was used and I'm not really sure what that means.

Steam will flash oxidize it if it's vulcanite.
