Ash Catchers

What Is an Ash Catcher?

An ash catcher is a glass attachment that sits between your bong and bowl. As smoke passes through the ash catcher first, ash and coarse debris are captured in its chamber instead of entering your main bong, preserving cleanliness and airflow.

The Core Benefits of Using an Ash Catcher

• Keeps Your Bong Clean – Traps ash and residue before they reach the main chamber.
• Adds Secondary Filtration – Built-in percolators cool and diffuse smoke.
• Extends Bong Lifespan – Reduces resin buildup and preserves internal glass.

Material & Construction Quality

• Premium Borosilicate Glass – Heat-resistant, durable, and flavor-neutral.
• Removable Design – Easy to detach and clean separately.
• Integrated Percolators – Honeycomb, showerhead, or inline styles for smooth airflow.

How to Choose the Right Ash Catcher

How to Use an Ash Catcher

1. Fill the ash catcher with water just above the percolator slits.
2. Attach it to your bong’s joint.
3. Insert your bowl into the ash catcher.
4. Smoke as usual while ash is trapped separately.

How to Clean an Ash Catcher

1. Detach the ash catcher from your bong.
2. Empty dirty water and rinse with warm water.
3. Soak with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
4. Shake gently to remove residue.
5. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry before reuse.

Ash Catcher FAQ

Does an ash catcher increase drag?
Slightly. However, Croia Glass ash catchers use low-resistance percolators to maintain smooth airflow.

Should I choose a 45° or 90° ash catcher?
Match your bong’s joint angle: vertical joints use 90°, angled joints use 45°.

How do I know if I need a 14mm or 18mm ash catcher?
Check your bong’s joint size. A 14mm bong requires a 14mm male ash catcher, and the same for 18mm.

Is an ash catcher worth it?
Yes. Ash catchers significantly reduce cleaning time, protect your bong, and improve overall smoothness.

Can I use an ash catcher on a dab rig?
Not recommended. Dab rigs require short vapor paths for optimal flavor preservation.
