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.
