So i made a bong out of a Bong vodka bottle (see first picture) not the most original build as its been done many times before but i love its size so much i want to make another. This time around though instead of a regular downpipe, rubber grommet, and bowl insert, i want to go with a glass on glass bowl but i can't seem to find the rubber grommet i need online anywhere.
I also own a Vaporbrothers vaporizer with the added water filtration bong part and it has exactly what i need so i took a picture of it as well. Hopefully someone can help me out with either the correct name of the part im looking for or better yet links to a good headshop online where i can buy what i need. I know the downpipe is called a downpipe, and i can find glass on glass bowls all over the net but i cant seem to find the rubber grommets specifically for bigger glass on glass downpipes (like in my 2nd pic).

Anyone able to help me out?

1. Your pictures aren't working
2. It's a downstem, not a downpipe
3. I'm sure it has been a long time before anyone on here has made a bong out of a vodka bottle, so this may not be your best source of information on that topic.
4. Welcome to fmb, it is a fountain of information about bubble hash and heady glass.

Click gallery at the top of the page, then upload. You can do a search on ebay for the grommets. I can help point you to a more specific item when you upload a picture of it.
A post like this should probably go into production pieces next time though.
And yeah, my history says "need help with a rubber..." hahaha

Are you looking for a glass on glass downstem or a rubber grommet? Most grommet glass on glass that I see is just a 18/14 bushing with a rubber grommet around it.

or just get a glass drill bit that is 18mm and use a totally glass on glass setup,

I'm going to need to buy both 6et1n7ouch (http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/member.php?u=3144), and there going to have to fit one another right. As i said i can find grommets and GonG downstems every where but i was under the impression GonG downstems are different then your normal downstem grommets.
Below is a link to the most extensive collection of grommets ive come across in my searching, will one of them work? If not where can i find what ill need?

the downstem would come out that way,.. i don't know if i really want that,.. i mean the wall of the bong vodka bottle is kind of thin where you cut the hole, not really a good glass on glass spot in my opinion.

buy the "yo-yo" grommet and a 14/14 dfiffuser. 14.4 male fits perfectly. i just tested it with the grommet on an old acrylic piece and a 14/14 stem. and a 14mm slide, of course. and you're g-on-g ready.

Yes i was wanting to have a diffuser end inside the bong rather then just a wide open downstem.
So say THIS (http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/GSpot_Diffuser_145.cfm?iProductID=4073) <-that's a link) and a yoyo grommet, and a 14.5mm glass bowl is all ill need?

Where will the yoyo grommet fit on the diffuser exactly? It looks like the smooth stem not the lower cone shaped part of the diffuser, which is where i was expecting something to fit around,.. seems weird they have two spots like that if the lower one was just there with nothing around it,.. or does the yoyo fit around the lower cone shaped part?

also,.. the yoyo grommet says its got a 1cm (which = 10mm) inside diameter,.. wont that be too small for a 14mm GonG downpipe?

Yo ask Minitrkn420, he has one of those bottles and told me you could make it into a tube so he might know how to do it.

it will fit around the 'lower cone shaped part,' known by non-noobs as the MALE JOINT. The part above it will stick out. and yes that's all you need. you'll need some way of figuring out the length the stem needs to be. and those grommets stretch a bit, and 4mm is like nothing. I fucking tried it and it fits.
