14 F 90° TO 14 F 90° DROP DOWN

The 14 F 90° to 14 F 90° Drop Down is a simple, must-have glass adapter for dabbers who want to protect their rigs from heat and grime. It’s made for people running 14mm setups who are tired of cooking the joint on their favorite piece and losing reclaim where they can’t reach it. With dual 14mm female joints and a 90° bend on both sides, it pushes your banger away from the main body of the rig so things stay cooler and easier to clean.

Why It Works

• Save your joint from heat stress — Offsets your banger away from the rig so repeated heating isn’t blasting the same joint over and over.
• Keep funk off your favorite piece — Reclaim and residue build up in the drop down instead of caking inside your rig’s joint.
• Cleaner airflow, smoother function — The straight-through 90° design keeps your hit path open and unrestricted.
• Flexible positioning — Dual 90° bends give you room to angle your banger where it’s easiest to see and work with.
• Protect against accidents — Moves the hot glass away from the body of your rig, which helps cut down on cracks and surprise knocks.
• Easy to swap between setups — Standard 14mm female joints let you move it from one compatible rig to another in seconds.

Best For

This drop down is made for dabbers running 14mm female rigs who are heating bangers regularly and want their daily driver to last. It’s especially helpful if you’re using compact silicone bongs & rigs or smaller glass pieces where the joint sits close to the body and takes a lot of heat abuse.

How to Use It

Using this piece is as straightforward as it looks: treat it like an extension of your joint. The 14mm female end on each side is made to accept 14mm male components, so your compatible rig joint and your 14mm banger both plug right in. Once it’s seated, you’ve created a little “drop zone” that moves the hot part of the setup safely away from the rig.

Most dabbers like to set their rig and drop down on a nonstick dab mat so any tiny drips or reclaim stay off the table and off the base of the piece. The angled design keeps everything upright and balanced, so you’re not fighting your setup when you’re already a few dabs in.

When it’s time to clean, let the glass cool fully, then either wipe the inside with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, or give it a quick soak, rinse with warm water, and dry before popping it back into rotation. Because most of the reclaim collects in the drop down, your main rig stays fresher between deep cleans.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

This adapter is specifically for 14mm setups with male components on both sides (rig and banger both 14mm male). If your rig has a 14mm female joint, you’ll need a different style adapter, or a different configuration, to make everything connect. For people who like to keep their entire station dialed, pairing this with proper dab accessories like q-tip holders and tools makes the whole sesh flow smoother.

FAQ

• Will this fit my rig if I already have a 14mm banger?
  If your rig has a 14mm male joint and your banger is also 14mm male, this drop down is exactly what you need. Both sides are 14mm female, so you’ll plug your rig’s joint into one side and your banger into the other.
• Can I use this with a 14mm flower bowl instead of a banger?
  Yes, as long as your bowl is 14mm male, it will fit into the female joint just like a banger. Some people like using a drop down with bowls to keep ash and heat away from the main joint, especially on cleaner glass or specialty smoke shop products they want to preserve.
• Does the 90° angle matter for how it hits?
  The 90° bend is more about positioning than flavor. It keeps your banger sitting level so your concentrates stay put in the bucket, and it lines up naturally with rigs designed around a 90° joint so nothing feels awkward or off-balance.
• How do I clean reclaim from the drop down?
  Let everything cool completely, remove it from your rig, then either gently tap out loose reclaim or soak it in isopropyl alcohol. Rinse with warm water and dry before using again. If you’re saving reclaim, move it into one of your concentrate jars so it’s not just sitting in the adapter.
• Will this make my rig more fragile or easier to tip?
  Any time you add glass, you add a little more leverage, but this style drop down is short enough to stay stable on most 14mm rigs. Just keep everything on a flat surface and avoid knocking the banger arm. Many people find it actually helps because the hot part is further away from the body, so they bump the rig less.
• Is this okay for heavy, thick-bottom bangers?
  Yes, borosilicate glass can handle standard thick-bottom bangers. Just be mindful of really oversized or novelty pieces that add extreme weight; if that’s your style, consider backing it up with a more robust rig from our general smoke shop products lineup or supporting the banger arm when moving the piece.
• Do I still need to clean my rig as often if I use this?
  You’ll probably notice your rig’s joint and downstem stay cleaner longer, because the gunk is collecting in the drop down instead. You still want to give the main piece regular care, but this adapter makes the gross part easier to isolate, similar to how using good storage & packaging keeps your concentrates fresher and less messy overall.
