Ash Catchers – Secondary Filtration to Keep Your Bong Cleaner

What Is an Ash Catcher?

An ash catcher sits between your bong and bowl. Smoke passes through the ash catcher first, where ash and coarse debris are captured in its chamber instead of entering your main bong. This reduces resin buildup, keeps water cleaner longer, and helps preserve smooth airflow.

Key Benefits of Using an Ash Catcher

• Keeps your bong cleaner by trapping ash and debris before the main chamber
• Adds secondary filtration with diffused percolation for smoother pulls
• Reduces cleaning time and slows down resin buildup in your main piece
• Improves daily consistency without changing your smoking routine

Material & Construction

• Borosilicate glass for heat resistance, durability, and clean flavor
• Removable design so you can clean it separately
• Integrated diffusion (honeycomb, showerhead, inline, etc.) for smoother filtration

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. Use your bong as normal 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.

FAQ – Ash Catchers

Does an ash catcher increase drag?
Slightly, depending on the percolator. Low-resistance perc designs help keep airflow smooth.

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 14mm or 18mm?
Check your bong’s joint size. A 14mm bong typically needs a 14mm male ash catcher, and the same for 18mm.

Is an ash catcher worth it?
Yes—ash catchers reduce cleaning time, protect your bong, and keep hits smoother over time.

Can I use an ash catcher on a dab rig?
Not recommended. Dab rigs benefit from shorter vapor paths to preserve flavor.
