Bong downstem

  1. Hello I need a new downstem and I'm trying to get one. That's all glass till the red thing which would be where you put the grommet idk if they make them tho?
     
  2. what exactly is your question?
     
  3. i think hes asking if they make downstems. And its yes. U gotta learn the sizes though
     
  4. No I'm trying to find a downstem but one that will just sit there with a grommet I don't want a big thing sticking out.

    You see what I'm trying to say?
     

  5. Do you have pictures of your bong?

    It sounds like what you're looking for is a downstem for a grommet bong rather than glass-on-glass. But if your current set up is glass-on-glass, that's not going to work so well.
     
  6. Yeah I think it's glass on glass I'll upload a pic
     

  7. A picture of the downstem without all the black over it might also be helpful. :p
     
  8. I don't want that thing to stick out
     

  9. There's no way for it not to, and here's why:

    The red line is the size of your bong joint, which needs the rubber grommet because it's not a glass on glass joint.

    See how when the red line is placed up higher on the joint, it's smaller than your joint opening would need to be to get the downstem in any further?

    It needs to be that large for your glass on glass bowl to connect at that point, so there's no way to make it not stick out like that.


    If your current set up is 18mm, you could try a 14mm downstem (and would need a 14mm bowl as well), but I still don't know if it would be small enough to not extend at all.
     
  10. I don't get why you want to change your downstem, as long as your bong hits properly everything is good!

    Yea if not get a gong
     
  12. It hits good I just thought ill make the downstem small to make it look better. But if there's no way it's fine
     


  13. Your bowl doesn't have a grommet, right? It's a ground glass connection?
     
  14. I was trying to make it look like this

  15. Those are still sticking out though, they're just metal instead of glass. :confused_2:
     
  16. Oh okay I'll just leave it like that ^.^
