Downstem -This is the long, glass tube that connects a bowl to a bong and directs the flow of smoke into the bongs water chamber.

And that smoke is still filling up your lungs (we’ll spare the lecture on why this is all-around bad news for your health). Today’s water pipes look a lot more complicated than a simple bamboo tube, but they all come down to the same basic process. If your bong is in need of heavy-duty cleaning, try pre-soaking it in warm water.
