Your downstem is essential for transferring smoke from your bowl into your bong. Without a downstem, your bong will be effectively useless! Because your bowl and downstem need to connect with an air-tight seal, it’s important to get a downstem that is compatible with your bong and bowl piece.

Do you need a Downstem for a bong?

The downstem is needed for the water pipe to do its job, ensuring that the smoke is filtered and purified to make smoking less damaging to a person’s health. The downstem makes the smoke less harsh, providing a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Are all Downstems the same?

No, downstems come in a range of different sizes and dimensions and it is important to double-check that a downstem is compatible with your bong. Buying a downstream that is too large or too small for your bong’s bowl piece will mean it is unusable.

Downstems

A downstem is a tube, usually made from glass, which runs down into the chamber of your bong. The downstem connects to an outer stem, which is typically part of your bowl piece. At Grasscity, we stock a range of downstems to suit any bong.
