How to find replacement bulbs

This is the bulb that came with my lamp. I've uploaded a picture here:

In the package it says it's a 30 watt-e17-type R Bulb. I have searched Home Depot, Lowes, Wall-Mart and a few lighting shops. No one has it. Where can i get a replacement bulb? if I can't find one would it hurt to use a higher wattage and use a dimmer. I've got two of these lamps that run off of this type bulb. I'm concerned about finding replacements. If you could even point me to a website that sells them I would greatly appreciate it.

WOW!! Thanks. You've been so kind to me. I'll do just that for that Big Lots lamp.

I'm trying my best to fix the 52 oz from Spencer's flow problem. I made another post with several pictures of the coil for you. Click here for the post. It has one other video, besides the one below.

The Big Bubbles Video (posted below) shows some Big Bubbles. It lasted for about 2 minutes, then little bubbles :(

I've tried 40 watt Clear, Frosted, Spot and a dimmer.

Here's the Big Bubbles Video: using a 40 watt frosted.
Click here to see it. Only lasted 2 minutes. Why would that be?

I just can't get it to flow right. Maybe it really is the coil. I just hate to go back and have the same problem. Is there a way to fix this coil/lamp?
