What is a downstem?
A downstem is an important feature of your bong. It is the long cylindrical tube that connects the cone piece to your main chamber of your bong.
What are downstems made of?
Downstems are usually made of glass or metal. Some traditional bongs may also use bamboo.
What are the different joint types of downstems?
Glass downstems come in 3 main joint sizes, 14/14, 18/18, and 18/14. A 14/14 will need a 14mm joint on your bong as well as a 14mm cone piece. A 18/18 will fit a 18mm joint on your bong and a 18mm cone piece. While an 18/14 will fit an 18mm joint on your bong and hold a 14mm cone piece, it is also known as a reducer downstem.
Are glass downstems better then metal?
Yes! Glass downstems stay cooler then metal and they also have better joints to give you 100% airtight seals.
Down stems for bongs
A down stem is a long tube that is inserted into the bong
and extends down into the water chamber. It is used to channel smoke from the
cone piece into the water chamber, where it is filtered and cooled before being
inhaled.
Length:
Down stems come in different lengths to fit different bongs, so it's important to choose one that is the right length for
your bong.
Joint size:
Down stems also come in different joint sizes so it's important to choose one that is the right size for your bong.
There is 2 sizes on any down stem, the outer joint which is the size that fits your bong, and the inner joint which is the part that holds your cone. The outer joint is always listed first.

14/14mm Downstem
These downstems fit a 14mm joint on your bong and hold a 14mm cone piece.

Diffused or Undiffused:
Some downstems have slits or holes at the bottom, called diffusers, which create a larger surface area for the smoke
to pass through and create a smoother hit. Others don't have any diffusers and are called undiffused.
Material:
Downstems can be made of several materials, but some of the most popular types are metal downstems, silicone downstems and glass downstems.
Cleaning:
Regular cleaning of the downstem is important to keep the bong in good working order.
