    Care Guide
    1. Gather supplies: Collect isopropyl alcohol, coarse salt, zip-lock bags, and pipe cleaners. These items are essential for effectively cleaning your bong stem.

    2. Disassemble and rinse: Remove the bong stem from your piece. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water to remove loose debris and residue.

    3. Soak the stem: Place your bong stem in a zip-lock bag filled with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Seal the bag and gently shake it to ensure the mixture coats the entire stem.

    4. Let it sit: Allow your bong stem to soak for 30 minutes to an hour. For stubborn buildup, you may need to leave it overnight.

    5. Scrub and rinse: Use pipe cleaners to scrub the inside of your bong stem, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat the process if necessary until your bong stem is sparkling clean.

    FAQs

    What is a bong stem and why is it important?

    A bong stem, also known as a downstem, is a crucial component of your bong that connects the bowl to the main chamber. It's important because it directs the smoke from your herbs into the water, allowing for filtration and cooling. A properly fitted stem ensures optimal performance, smoother hits, and a better overall smoking experience.

    How do you measure a bong stem for the right fit?

    To measure your bong stem correctly, follow these steps:

    1. Measure from the top of the stem (where your bowl slides in) to the bottom (the part that sits in your bong's chamber).
    2. Confirm your bong's joint size (usually 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm).
    3. Measure the width of your bong's joint using a measuring tape.
    4. Ensure the stem's top frosted glass part matches your bong's joint width for a snug fit.

    Remember, a properly sized stem should reach about 1-2 cm above the water level in your bong for optimal filtration.

    How do you clean and maintain a bong stem?

    To keep your bong stem in top condition:

    1. Remove it from the bong and soak it in hot water mixed with a cleaning solution like Formula 420.
    2. After a few minutes, scrub it gently with a pipe cleaner or brush.
    3. Rinse thoroughly with hot water to remove all residue.
    4. Let it air dry completely before reinserting it into your bong.

    Regular cleaning prevents buildup, ensures smooth airflow, and maintains the quality of your smoking experience. Clean your stem at least weekly if you're a frequent user.
