14/18mm Replacement Glass Bong Downstems
Refresh your favorite water pipe with a precision-crafted 14/18mm Replacement Glass Downstem, designed to restore or upgrade the performance of your bong or dab rig. These classic diffusion accessories are essential for any water pipe setup, providing smooth airflow, enhanced filtration, and compatibility with a wide range of bowls and accessories.
Made from durable borosilicate glass, each glass downstem is designed to fit a 14mm female joint on your bong and hold a 14mm male bowl or banger. The outer diameter of the joint that inserts into your bong is 18mm, while the inner joint that receives your bowl is 14mm, making this the ideal 14/18mm glass downstem configuration for standard water pipe setups.
Whether you're a flower or a hash enthusiast, a high-quality downstem ensures that your smoke or vapor is adequately diffused through water, delivering more remarkable, smoother, and flavorful hits every time.
Classic Diffusion, Modern Reliability
Each bong downstem features diffusion slits or holes at the submerged end to break up smoke into fine bubbles, increasing surface area and allowing for more effective cooling and filtration. The result is a noticeably smoother draw and reduced harshness, which is significant when using finely ground flower or delicate hash blends.
Perfect for replacing a broken downstem or upgrading an older piece, these standard-fit replacements offer the performance and simplicity every smoker expects from a quality glass downstem.
Key Features:
-
14mm to 18mm Fitment – 18mm male joint fits into the bong; 14mm female end holds your bowl or nail
-
High-Quality Borosilicate Glass – Heat-resistant and built to withstand daily use
-
Available in Multiple Lengths – Select the ideal length to match your bottom clearance.
-
Diffused Tip Design – Slitted or open-end for efficient smoke dispersion and smoother hits
-
Universal Compatibility – Works with most 14mm bowls, ash catchers, and quartz bangers

Essential Bong Replacement Part – Ideal for restoring broken or aging setups

Choosing the Right Length:
To ensure the perfect fit, measure from the bottom of your bongbowl to just above the base of the water chamber. The estimated length corresponds to the usable (inner) section of the downstem, not the joint.
Lengths typically range from 3 inches to 5+ inches, giving you the flexibility to match your specific setup. An adequately fitted downstem keeps your bowl stable, places the diffuser tip below the waterline, and maximizes airflow.
Perfect For:
-
Replacing broken or worn-out bong downstems
-
Upgrading diffusion for smoother hits with flower or hash
-
Smokers seeking better airflow or improved water function
-
Custom bong builders or DIY setups
-
Anyone using 14mm bowls with 18mm joint bongs
