So we all know when your downstem breaks its an oh shit moment. But don't worry, there are only two main questions you need to ask when looking for a new downstem. What's the length needed and how wide should the joint be.
The upward facing end the bowl goes into is called the Female Joint.
Then there is the etched glass section that sits inside the joint of the beaker base called the Male Joint.
Lastly there is the Stem that reaches into the base of the beaker almost touching the bottom of the beaker. If there are filtration slits at the bottom of the stem, these will need to be fully submerged in the water.
One thing you definitely want to avoid is getting a downstem that is too long and reaches the bottom of the beaker before it is able to rest in the joint, rendering it unusable. So to solve this problem before it even happens, here’s how to measure the length of the downstem you will need!
Stick a pencil down the joint of your bong till it hits the bottom of the base.
Pull it out about a half an inch.
Mark this spot on the pencil.
Pull it out and measure the length from the point of the pencil to the mark that you made.
This is the length of the downstem you will need.
You will also want to make sure the width, or the joint size is correct. This will make a difference in whether you will be using a 14mm bowl or an 18mm bowl. There is one very easy way to tell which one you will need.
Place a dime over the round hole at the joint of your base.
If the dime covers the hole exactly, it is a 14mm joint.
If the dime slides into the piece, it is an 18mm joint.
And VOILA, simple as that! For your convenience and to avoid confusion, Prism Water Pipes only sells downstems that will fit our bases. But you can use this guide whenever looking to replace broken or lost pieces!
