What length downstem for this

[Afghan Haze]

Broke my downstem this morning... don't know what length it was. Its about an 18" beaker and the d/s it had was 18mm for 14mm bowl. what length do you think i need?

No good answer because no one knows any dimensions of the bong.........
Why not just take a small tape measure and align through the downstem hole until it is at same place in water as old, then just measure to where you bowl fits.
I'm also assuming the d/s was totally destroyed and you have nothing to measure?

if you use a skewer or short length of dowel you can tell how far into the water it goes by observing the wet area on it once removed, when you find it's submersed to the right depth measure the piece of wood for a fairly accurate guesstimation.

I'd go with an inch or so from the bottom of the flask.

Less bongwater to clean up when you knock it over.

You know how you stoners are.

Use a pencil to make markings of how long you need it. Stick the pencil in there and mark it. This is what they told me to do at my buddies headshop years ago, instead of bringing in a broken, resin-covered piece of glass.

.. I actually need to buy a new female for mine too

lol sorry guys but yeah I got a 6 arm downstem really long about 1inch from the bottom for $35. At first I didn't like the bubbles it made and didn't get a lot of smoke out of it so I was disappointed thats why I didn't post anything lol but damn the problem fixed itself just with a little use hoping for better results each time. I guess by breaking it in, anyway I get huge hits idk if as big as with the og downstem but they feel better all around. I recommend trying them out if you can find one.
