14Mm Vs 18Mm
Selecting the correct joint size is the most important step to ensure your new bowl fits perfectly. Our Dichro Galaxy Bowl comes with a male joint, designed to fit into a female joint on your water pipe. The two standard sizes are 14mm and 18mm.
Is A 14Mm Or 18Mm Male Bowl Right For My Piece?
Your choice depends entirely on the size of the female joint on your bong. A 14mm bowl is roughly the size of a pinky finger, while an 18mm bowl is closer to the size of an index finger. Unsure what you have? You can often place a dime over the opening; if it sits on top without falling in, you likely have a 14mm joint. If it falls inside, it's probably 18mm.
14Mm Male Bowl
Pros: The most common size for small to medium bongs. Offers a slightly more restricted airflow which many find ideal for flavor.
Cons: Smaller capacity, may require more frequent packing.
18Mm Male Bowl
Pros: Larger capacity for bigger packs and group sessions. Provides wider airflow for bigger, faster rips.
Cons: Typically found on larger pieces; may overwhelm smaller bongs.
- Evidence: The bowl is available in both 14mm and 18mm male joint options.
- Evidence: 14mm joints are the common standard for most small-to-mid-sized bongs.
- Evidence: 18mm joints allow for greater airflow and a larger packing volume.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Dichro Glass Bowl
