A water bong simply will not work without a downstem, also spelled as down stem. They are the long and skinny pieces of glass that carry smoke from the bowl to the water in the bong’s base, and downstems are essential for cooling smokers’ hits. Some downstems on the market feature small slits in the glass to diffuse the smoke, therefore improving the flavor. Different joint sizes, like 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm downstems make for different smoking experiences. So test the waters and see which downstem is right for you. Take a look at Online Smoke Shop’s eye-catching 14mm to 14mm Diffused Downstems, 18mm to 14mm Silicone Downstems, Black Downstem Bent Neck Bongs, and 4 Arm Tree Perc Beakers with Diffused Downstems.
