[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 495783, member: 1211"] A couple of questions about maintenance and stems. First, is there a simple hack to fill the space where the filter should be? In other words, I don't want to smoke with a filter, so is there anything readily found at home to fill that space? Any remedies you've developed for yourself? I don't care for a super wide-open draw, so normal air flow would be welcomed. I personally feel a wide airflow diminishes the flavor strength. I see that they sell non-filter stems at the MM website, but I'm not going to place an order for a $.75 stem (unless I have to). Second, is it common to have to give the tenon a light sanding? When I removed the stem to remove the filter, I had a bear of a time putting the stem back in. Lots of squeaking and resistance. I thought for sure I was going to snap the shank. I eventually got it back together. I'm rather impressed with how tough the pipe is, but I'd rather not put that much force on it again. [/QUOTE]
