Hey, I'm looking for a 18/18 sg 180 gridded downstem that is 5.5 inches long. Where can I buy one online? I have only seen these in 18/14 joint size. I would like to keep it all 18. I finally found an Alex K 18.8 downstem in my size. I would prefer the sg but would rather have the functuality of the 18.8mm. If it matters, I will be using this in a 15" hisi beaker. I am about to order a showerhead precooler with 18/18 joint sizes and I would like to use it with the SG or Alex K. Any advise? What are your thoughts about adapters? I would rather not have to use one for everyday use unless it has almost no effects on performance or risk of breaking.
[quote name='"Nate489"']18 is 18. That .8 is just how some places lable them. That said, get the alex k.[/quote] I think he means one that is 18/18, not 18/14
Thanks, you just saved me hours of searching for something that isn't available. I was thinking about getting the alex k at first, but I read about the sg while searching for the alex k in my size. I found a coupe threads that said it was better. Will the adapter be a hassle?
They both have advantages the sg is better if you hit a piece vertically the Alax k is best if you lean back when you hit it
yeah the adapter is gonna be a hassle... for someone like me atleast. why throw in another part to clean and maybe break? get a 14mm slide.
