Splitters
Splitters is a category covering bong bowls, adapters, and reducers. The components perform different functions, so their construction and connection compatibility with the rest of the setup matter.
List of products
This group contains components that work at the top of the setup or between connected parts. A bowl provides a place for dry herb, while an adapter or reducer sits between components to connect them. This distinction lets you determine immediately whether you need a working part or a component that changes how accessories are assembled.
Bowls and adapters serve different roles
A bong bowl is the working part intended to hold dry herb. It may be replaceable, and its design affects how the entire setup is used. This category includes products named Glass Bowl x3 18.8 mm and Glass Bowl x5 18.8 mm. These designations identify specific versions in the selection, and their specifications should not be transferred to every bowl.
A bong adapter or reducer has a different task: it provides an intermediate component between parts that need to be properly joined. It may change the connection layout or size, depending on the particular model's construction. It is not a universal part, so its role always depends on the specifications of both components being connected.
Construction and connection specifications
The key mechanical specification is the ground-glass joint, a precisely formed connection between parts. Its size must match the component that mates directly with the bowl, adapter, or reducer. For the example x3 and x5 glass bowls, the name specifies 18.8 mm, but other versions may have different specifications.
Design differences are not limited to size. Bowls may arrange the working space differently, while adapters and reducers may route the connection in different ways. For the user, recognizing the part's function is most important: the bowl is the actual working component, while an adapter or reducer joins compatible parts.
- Part type: bowl or adapter/reducer
- Joint size and type at the connection point
- Construction of this specific version
- Compatibility with the directly adjacent component
Fit and everyday care
Before assembling parts, compare the specifications on both sides of the connection. A similar diameter alone does not establish compatibility, and an adapter or reducer should match the exact arrangement it is intended to connect. Do not force glass components into place, as stress on the joint increases the risk of damage.
Regular residue removal helps maintain unrestricted flow and makes components easier to disconnect. After cleaning, rinse and dry parts thoroughly, and keep joints free of particles that could interfere with even seating. Gentle handling of edges is particularly important with glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a bong adapter fit every setup?
No. An adapter or reducer must match the specifications of both parts that are to be connected.
What does 18.8 mm mean for a bowl?
The 18.8 mm figure indicates the joint size stated for that particular bowl and should match the mating connection.
