4.5 Inch Downstems

4.5-Inch Downstems

The 4.5-inch downstem is compatible with a variety of water pipes, particularly those around 12 to 14 inches tall. Choosing the right downstem can enhance your smoking experience and overall performance.

Length Measurement

To measure the length of a 4.5-inch downstem, measure from the bottom of the frosted joint to the end. This standard measurement ensures compatibility with your water pipe.

However, some retailers may provide different sizing information, such as the overall length of the downstem. Be sure to verify the sizing details when purchasing to ensure it fits your water pipe.

Size Selection

Downstem sizes are indicated by two numbers. Common sizes include:

• 18mm to 14mm (the most common, suitable for over 90% of bongs)
• 18mm to 18mm
• 14mm to 14mm
• 14mm to 10mm

The first number represents the diameter of the downstem that connects to the water pipe, while the second number indicates the diameter that connects to the bowl. Choosing the correct size is key to avoiding leaks and ensuring a good smoking experience.

Material Selection

When choosing a downstem material, consider the following common options:

1. Glass
   • Pros: Provides a pure smoking experience and is easy to clean.
   • Cons: Relatively fragile and can break easily.
2. Metal
   • Pros: Durable and less prone to breaking; our adjustable-length metal downstems can fit various bong sizes, making them a great backup option at an affordable price.
   • Cons: May affect the taste of the smoke and can be harder to clean.
3. Glycerin
   • Pros: Ideal for users who enjoy cool smoke, available in various colors for added aesthetic appeal.
   • Cons: The open bottom lacks a filter.

When selecting a material, consider your usage habits, ease of maintenance, and budget to ensure you choose the downstem that best meets your needs.
