Curated by the Angies Boutique buyers. Reducers, drop-downs, dome sets and Proxy adapters for matching any banger, bowl or dome to the rig you already own.
A glass joint adapter is a short piece of glass that connects two pieces that would not otherwise fit together: a different joint size, a different gender (male or female), or a different angle. Adapters let you run a 14mm banger on an 18mm rig, drop a nail lower on a short piece, put a dome-and-nail setup on a modern rig, or connect a Puffco Proxy to a water pipe. Angies Boutique carries Boro Syndicate Low Rider drop-downs, GRAV reducers, dome-and-adapter sets from Boro Syndicate and Ski Mask, and Proxy adapters from MJ Arsenal.
Every adapter is described by two ends: the end that goes into your rig and the end that accepts your banger, bowl or dome. Get three things right and it will fit.

A reducer steps a larger joint down to a smaller one, which is the most common need because most bangers and bowls sold today are 14mm while many older rigs are 18mm. An expander goes the other way. The GRAV 19mm Female to 14mm Female Reduction Adapter slides onto a 19mm male joint and accepts any 14mm male bowl or banger.
A drop-down lowers your banger below the rig's joint. That keeps the hot quartz away from the glass, puts the banger at a better height on tall or short rigs, and lets reclaim drain into the drop-down instead of the rig. Many drop-downs also change size or gender at the same time. Boro Syndicate's Low Rider drop-downs come in combinations like 18mm male to 18mm male and 18mm male to 14mm female, plus colored versions like the Amber 14mm male to 14mm male.
Dome-and-nail dabbing needs a female joint on the rig side and a dome sized to the nail. Dome sets bundle the dome with the matching adapter so the whole assembly fits your rig. The Boro Syndicate 18mm Dome & Adapter Set in Opal includes an 18mm dome, an 18mm male-to-male adapter and an 18mm quartz nail, and the Rainbow Wig Wag set adapts an 18mm dome to a 14mm female rig. Ski Mask Glass makes 14mm thermo dome sets like the Time Bomb, each with a 14mm male-to-male adapter. More domes are in Vapor Domes.
The Puffco Proxy uses its own connection, not a standard joint. A Proxy adapter turns that connection into a standard male joint so the Proxy can run through a water pipe. The MJ Arsenal Proxy Attachment connects the Proxy to MJ Arsenal and standard glass water pipes. For Proxy glass, bubblers and Core attachments, see Puffco Proxy Glass & Adapters.
Every adapter in stock is pictured in the grid below. Drop-downs and dome sets sell one or two at a time, so check back or call if the combination you need is sold out.

Every adapter adds height and a little drag. The rig sits taller and draws slightly harder; on percolator-heavy rigs, keep the setup as short as possible. Mind the balance. A drop-down plus a heavy quartz banger puts weight off to the side, so small rigs can tip; keep them on a flat, stable surface. Heat stays on the quartz. Torch only the banger or nail, never the glass adapter. Keep joints clean. Reclaim on a frosted joint makes it stick; wipe joints with isopropyl and never force a stuck joint, warm it gently instead. Proxy adapters are device-specific and do not work as general joint adapters. Sold to adults 21+.
Pair your adapter with the piece it connects: Quartz Bangers & Nails, Vapor Domes, Bowls & Slides, Ash Catchers and Downstems. For the rigs themselves, see Dab Rigs and Bongs. Finish the setup with Carb Caps.
