Collection: Downstems

The downstem is the part of a bong that transports the smoke from the bowl piece down into the water. It is a vital part of a water bong. A bong wouldn't be a bong without the downstem!

Some downstems are removable, while others are affixed to the piece. This primarily dictates how you clean the water bong, with removable downstems making the process easier than with fixed downstems.

Just like bowl pieces, downstems come in a few standard joint sizes: 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Fixed downstems tend to have an 18mm joint size. Removable downstems often feature a 14mm joint, and are placed into the actually bong via an 18mm joint built into the chamber. That being said, these sizes can vary from bong to bong.

Downstems also come in one of two "genders". Female downstems, where the slide is pushed inside the downstem, are definitely more common. The less popular male downstem features a joint where the bowl piece is placed atop the downstem's joint.
