Just received a brand new Sav Punto Oro Gold Sandblast 110 from SP and it is gorgeous, but the 6mm adapter doesn't fit into the stem. Has this happened to anyone else?
It shipped with the balsa filter installed, which I promptly removed, but then the adapter does not fit into its place. I have used filter pipes with adapters before and I understand how they fit snugly. This one will not fit. I also bought a pack of 5 additional adapters with my purchase, and none of them fit either. Upon close inspection, all 6 of these adapters seem to flare outward a bit at both ends, likelt from the cutting process. They look like they are cut to length from a long rod, and where the cutter pressed down on them they flared outward in response.
I'm sure SP will obviously let me return the pipe, but ideally I'd like to keep it.
I may even prefer to smoke it without an adapter (and no filter), but I don't want to try because then I won't be able to return it.
The obvious answer is send it back, but I want to check in with you folks to see if this has happened to anyone here, or if there's anything I'm missing. I'm also thinking of filing down one of the adapters to fit.
