10 M 90° TO 14 F 90° DROP DOWN

The 10 M 90° to 14 F 90° Drop Down is a simple but clutch glass adapter for dabbers running 10mm male rigs with 14mm female bangers or nails. It’s built for people who want to keep heat away from their favorite piece, make cleanup easier, and still keep their function on point. With matching 90° angles on both ends, it lines up naturally with most straight tubes and compact rigs so your banger sits right where you want it.

This is the kind of small upgrade that quietly saves rigs from heat stress, catches reclaim before it hits your joint, and gives you a cleaner, cooler spot to park your nail every sesh.

Why it works

• Protects your rig from heat stress — Moving the banger a few inches away keeps intense heat off your joint and welds, helping your daily driver last longer.
• Keeps reclaim out of your joint — Any drips or buildup land in the dropdown instead of fusing into your rig’s joint, making deep cleans way less painful.
• Plays nice with 10mm → 14mm setups — Male 10mm end into your rig, 14mm female end for your banger or nail — perfect if your favorite nail doesn’t match your tiny rig.
• Dialed for 90° joints — The 90° to 90° design lines up with upright and straight-tube rigs so your banger sits flat instead of at a weird angle.
• Heat buffer for your hands and face — By dropping your nail away from the can, you get a little more distance from the hot zone when you’re mid-sesh.
• Cheap insurance — For the price of one banger, you can avoid explaining a cracked joint to your roommate or replacing a favorite rig.

Best for

This dropdown is made for dabbers running small to medium rigs with 10mm male joints who love 14mm nails and bangers. It’s especially good if you’re the type to run multiple dabs back-to-back and don’t want to cook your glass in the process. If you’re building out a compact station with a rig, a dab mat, and a couple of go-to bangers, this little adapter fits right in.

How to use it

Setup is simple: the 10mm male end goes into your rig’s 10mm female joint, and your 14mm male banger or nail drops into the 14mm female end on the dropdown. Once it’s seated snugly, you’re ready to dab as usual, just with the heat pushed farther away from your can and joint.

Because the dropdown hangs lower, it naturally becomes your reclaim catch. When things cool down, you’ll notice buildup collects in the adapter instead of baking into your rig. That means you can pop it off, clean it on its own, and keep your main piece fresher for longer. Pair it with a steady rig or one of our sturdy silicone bongs and rigs if you like a setup that can take some abuse on the coffee table.

For cleaning, let the glass cool completely, then soak the dropdown in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry before putting it back in your lineup. If you’re rotating multiple bangers and adapters, it’s worth grabbing a few so one can soak while the others are in rotation with your favorite dab tools.

Specifications

Fit & compatibility

This piece is specifically for rigs with a 10mm female joint on the can and 14mm male bangers or nails. If your rig joint size or gender doesn’t match that setup, this won’t seat correctly. It’s designed around 90° joints, so it shines on straight tubes, upright recyclers, and compact rigs where the joint comes straight out from the side. If you’re building out a matching setup with bangers, caps, and carb caps, this adapter helps keep everything lined up in a comfortable zone.

FAQ

• Will this dropdown fit my rig?
  It will fit if your rig has a 10mm female joint and you’re using a 14mm male banger or nail. The 10mm male end of the adapter plugs into your rig, and your 14mm male piece goes into the 14mm female end of the dropdown.
• Does the 90° angle matter?
  Yes. This dropdown is made for 90° joints, so it lines up best with straight tubes or upright rigs where the joint sticks straight out. On 45° joints it will still attach, but your banger may sit at an odd angle.
• Will it change the way my rig hits?
  Airflow stays basically the same; you’re just adding a short glass path between the joint and the banger. What you'll notice more is the heat being farther from the can and a bit more reclaim collecting in the dropdown instead of the rig. If you like to keep function smooth and your glass clean, pairing it with proper concentrate jars for storage keeps the whole setup feeling dialed.
• Is this good for tiny rigs or micro rigs?
  Yes, this is especially nice on smaller 10mm rigs where heat builds up fast around the joint. The dropdown pushes that hot zone out and down, so your little shredder doesn’t get cooked every time you drop in a dab.
• How do I clean the dropdown without messing up my rig?
  Pull it off once it has cooled, then soak the adapter on its own in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and let it dry before reattaching. Keeping the adapter as the “dirty” piece makes it way easier to keep your main rig and your other smoke shop gear in good shape.
• Can I use this with an e-nail setup?
  As long as your e-nail coil and banger are 14mm male and designed for 90° use, this dropdown can act as the buffer between the hot banger and your rig. Just make sure the added length doesn’t put stress on the joint; if you’ve got a heavy coil, support it or consider a more compact layout or some extra accessories to stabilize your station.
• What’s the main reason people grab this instead of going direct-to-rig?
  Mostly to protect their rig’s joint and keep reclaim in one easy-to-clean piece of glass. It’s cheap insurance if you’ve got a favorite rig you don’t want to risk with constant heat and sticky buildup.
