Here in our studio, we use only fine, non-toxic, food-safe ceramic material for our products and harden them with high firing temperature from 2129°F to 2372°F.

My brother and I broke our glass downstems several times. I believe we all at least once underwent this problem. And then, an idea of a downstem that will last for a lifetime appeared.

Vietnamese people have used bamboo bong with metal bowl to smoke Vietnamese Tobacco for centuries, I myself used both metal and glass bowl but did not see lots of differences. A metal bowl suit me due to it durability.

However, you are the judge. Our downstems are designed to easily fit any standard 14mm male accessory. You can decide what suits you.

Please note that these products are handmade, minor variations in shape, color, pattern may occur. Each piece is considered unique.

We recommend change out the bong water after each session. When you want to deep clean your bong, please see the following steps. Hand wash with care is recommended.

After that, stir and submerge item in isopropyl alcohol for at least an hour. The metal part should NOT be cleaned with salt.
