DETAILED INFO HOW TO MEASURE FOR A DOWNSTEM
- Figure out your joint size. The easiest way to find your joint size is to check out our blog "How to select your glass joint size type" The common joint size in the industry is 10mm, 14mm and 19mm. Many people will call the 19mm joint an 18mm joint. From what we learned in 3rd grade, numbers are rounded up or down. So, the actual size of a 19mm joint is 18.8mm. We call all our joints 19mm for the rounding reason.
- Figure out the length of the downstem you will need. You can use a pencil, pen or straight object you can put all the way down in your water pipe or bong. Insert the object into the female glass joint so that it is about 1/2 inch from the bottom of your water pipe of dab rig. Mark the object to the top of the glass joint. This will be the length of the down-stem needed for your piece. Remember there are so so many different lengths that a downstem can be and that replacement downstems are pretty standard. For this reason what ever your length is make sure that you get one shorter than the measurement you acquired, or it may just not fit. If you want a perfect size, hit us up and we can make one for you the perfect size. When we make the joints in house we only make them with holes not slits.
