10 M 90° to 14 F 90° Drop Down

The 10mm to 14mm Glass Dropdown Adapter is a heat-management piece for dabbers running compact rigs with 10mm female joints who prefer 14mm male bangers. Both ends sit at 90°, so it lines up clean with straight tubes and upright recyclers without your nail pointing off at some awkward angle. For anyone tired of watching reclaim cake into their rig's joint or feeling the heat creep too close during back-to-back sessions, this little adapter earns its spot in the rotation.

Why this works

• Moves heat away from your joint — A few extra inches between your banger and the rig means less thermal stress on the welds and glass that keep your piece together.
• Reclaim stays contained — Drips and buildup collect in the dropdown instead of fusing into your rig's joint, so deep cleans become a quick soak instead of a surgery.
• Bridges 10mm rigs to 14mm bangers — If your favorite nail doesn't match your compact rig, this adapter makes them play nice without hunting for specialty pieces.
• 90° alignment on both ends — Designed for joints that come straight out from the can, keeping your banger level and your oil where it belongs.
• Extra distance from the hot zone — Your face and fingers stay a bit farther from torch temperatures when you're mid-dab.
• Cheaper than replacing glass — One cracked joint on a favorite rig costs more than a handful of these adapters.

Who grabs this

Dabbers with smaller 10mm rigs who've collected 14mm bangers over time. People who run multiple sessions daily and notice their rig joint getting cloudy or stressed from constant heat. Anyone building a tidy station with a dab mat, a rotation of caps, and gear that's easy to swap and clean between uses.

How it fits together

The 10mm male end slots into your rig's 10mm female joint. Your 14mm male banger or nail drops into the 14mm female end hanging below. Once seated, you dab like normal — the dropdown just sits between, catching heat and reclaim before they reach your main piece.

Because it hangs lower than a direct connection, the adapter naturally becomes your reclaim trap. After a few sessions, you'll see the buildup collecting there instead of baking into the rig itself. Pop the dropdown off, let it soak in iso, and your main glass stays cleaner longer. If you're rotating multiple quartz bangers throughout the week, having a couple dropdowns in the lineup means one can soak while the other stays in action.

For rigs that see heavy use on the coffee table, pairing this with something durable makes sense. A silicone rig underneath handles the occasional bump without drama, while this glass adapter keeps the function smooth where it matters.

Specifications

Compatibility notes

This adapter requires a rig with a 10mm female joint and works with 14mm male bangers or nails. The 90° angle on both ends means it's built for joints that come straight out horizontally — think straight tubes, upright recyclers, and compact rigs where the joint doesn't angle downward. On a 45° joint it'll still physically connect, but your banger will point at an angle that makes dabbing awkward and increases spill risk.

If you're running heavier e-nail setups, make sure the coil and banger weight don't put torque on the dropdown. For heavy rigs or elaborate stations, consider supporting the banger separately or keeping the setup compact.

FAQ

• How do I know if this fits my rig?
  Check your rig's joint: if it's 10mm and female (meaning the opening is on the outside where a male piece inserts), and you're using 14mm male bangers, this adapter works. The 10mm male end of the dropdown goes into your rig, and your 14mm male banger goes into the dropdown's female end.
• Does the 90° angle actually matter or is it just preference?
  It matters for function. A 90° dropdown on a 90° joint keeps your banger level so oil pools in the center of the dish instead of running to one side. On a 45° joint, this adapter will still attach, but your banger sits crooked and dabbing gets messier.
• Will adding this change how my rig hits?
  The airflow path stays essentially the same — you're just adding a short section of glass between the joint and banger. What changes is where heat concentrates and where reclaim collects. Most people don't notice a difference in draw resistance, but they do notice their rig stays cleaner.
• Is this worth it for micro rigs or tiny pieces?
  Especially for small rigs. Compact pieces heat up fast around the joint because there's less glass to dissipate that energy. Pushing the banger a few inches away gives your little rig some breathing room and reduces the chance of thermal shock cracking the joint over time.
• What's the best way to clean this?
  Let it cool completely after your session. Pull it off the rig, drop it in a container with isopropyl alcohol, let it soak for 15-30 minutes (longer if there's heavy buildup), then rinse with warm water and dry before reattaching. Keeping the dropdown as the "dirty" piece means your main rig needs deep cleaning way less often.
• Can I use this with an e-nail or is it torch-only?
  Works with both. For e-nails, just make sure your coil and banger combo is 14mm male and designed for 90° use. Watch the weight — if you've got a heavy coil setup, the dropdown adds another connection point that could stress under load. Support the banger or keep the station compact if you're running substantial hardware.
• Why not just dab straight into the rig without an adapter?
  You can, and plenty of people do. But direct-to-rig means all that heat hits the same joint every time, and reclaim builds up in spots that are harder to clean. The dropdown acts as a buffer — taking the abuse so your rig doesn't have to. If you've got a piece you actually care about, it's cheap protection. Store your concentrates in proper concentrate jars and keep the adapter clean, and your whole setup stays in better shape longer.
