Downstems

A downstem is a key component of your bong that acts as the smoke filtration system. It connects the bowl to the water chamber, allowing smoke to pass through the water for cooling and purification, resulting in smoother and more flavorful hits.

Downstems come in two main materials: metal and glass. Metal downstems, like those from Bonza, are made from anodized aluminum for durability, while glass downstems are crafted from borosilicate glass, known for its heat resistance and superior filtration capabilities.

At Bong Warehouse, our glass downstems range from 90mm to 125mm in length, making them compatible with most glass or beaker bongs. Metal downstems typically come with a 14mm cone piece and a rubber grommet for an airtight fit.

To ensure a perfect fit, measure the joint size and length of your bong’s downstem before purchasing. Downstems come in different lengths and joint sizes (commonly 14mm), so selecting the correct size is crucial for optimal performance and a smooth smoking experience.

Metal downstems, like the Bonza anodized aluminum models, are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. They also provide a more reliable seal with their rubber grommet, ensuring an airtight connection, which enhances filtration and delivers a smoother hit.

Glass downstems are made from borosilicate glass, known for its strength and heat resistance. Glass offers the cleanest smoke with better filtration, and the slits in the downstem provide added diffusion, resulting in a smoother and cooler smoking experience.

Cleaning your downstem is easy! Simply soak it in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and salt to remove resin and buildup. For glass downstems, be gentle to avoid breaking the glass. Regular cleaning ensures better performance and longer lifespan.
