Downstems

A bong without a downstem is just a bottle with a hole. A downstem is an essential glass piece that fits into a water pipe joint. Downstems function to carry smoke from the slide (or bowl piece) into the water chamber to filter and cool each hit. 

Downstems are available in different sizes and lengths, so it is absolutely essential to know what size you’re looking for. Begin your measurements at the top of the grounded joint on the downstem, NOT at the very top of the piece itself. Continue your measurements to the very end of the stem to ensure the exact length required, you may also measure what length is needed without a downstem present from within your water pipe by placing your measuring tape through the downstem joint until it reaches the bottom of the bong. Downstems are available in 14mm, 18mm and also a combination of the two sizes or a 14/18mm downstem which allows you to place the stem within a 18mm sized joint fitting, but you can still enjoy your herb through a 14mm sized slide or bowl piece. 

Not only limited to glass, we also offer downstems in metal and silicone such as the Titan-Stem adjustable and interchangeable downstems, or the silicone replacement downstem as well if you prefer a more break-resistant style piece.
