A downstem is a crucial component of a bong or water pipe that plays a significant role in delivering smooth and filtered smoke to the user. A downstem is a piece of glass that fits into the joint of a water pipe, allowing smoke to travel from the bowl or slide piece into the water chamber for filtration and cooling. Downstems typically come in three standardized sizes: 10mm, 14mm or 18mm. Keep in mind the diameter on either end can vary, and also material of the bong and its thickness can impact precise measurements. When choosing a downstem, it's important to consider factors such as joint size and gender, length, and whether you're looking for additional features like percolators or diffusers. At our online smoke shop, we offer a wide selection of high-quality downstems in various sizes and styles, so you can find the perfect fit for your smoking needs.
