What Is an Ash Catcher?

An ash catcher is a small accessory for bongs, usually made from glass. The primary purpose is to keep ash, resin, and other debris from going into your bong water and dirtying your bong. An ash catcher is ideal for keeping your water pipe clean - both for the benefit of your immediate smoking experience and for easier cleaning afterward. And, to top it all off, most ash catchers come with additional percolators, which further filter your smoke, resulting in much smoother and cleaner hits.

Is an Ash Catcher Worth It?

In more than one way, bong ash catchers are definitely worth it! Of course, it all depends on your case; how often are you using your bong? Are you a regular smoker? Does your bong have enough percolators, or do you want some more? You must have noticed how your bong water gets incredibly filthy very easily, and you're just tired of having to do a thorough cleaning after every use! That makes an ash catcher more than worth it. Finally, it all depends on how much money you can spare; if you can find an affordable ash catcher within your budget range, you'll definitely want to go for it!

How To Choose a Suitable Glass Ash Catcher: Shopping Tips

Check our shop to find the most suitable ash catcher for your bong. Our selection is vast, and there's much to choose from, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure you buy the right one.

Joints and Joint Size

There are two types of joints used with bongs: male and female joints. Check what type of joint your bong has. A female joint on your bong should be paired with a male joint on your ash catcher and vice versa. Most bongs have female joints, but there are exceptions, so make sure you know what type of catcher's joint you're going for! In this sense, it's also helpful to measure the size of your bong's joint. If you buy one that doesn't fit, you can always use bong adapters to put the bong and the catcher together!

Joint Angle

Most ash catchers come with their joints either at a 45° or a 90° angle. The same goes for your bong's joints.

If your bong has a 45° angle, buy a 45° angle ash catcher.
If your bong has a 90° angle, go for a 90° angle catcher.

If you buy a catcher with a joint at the wrong angle, you may not even attach it properly.

Chambers and Percs

The final thing to consider is the number of chambers and type of percolators that your catcher will have! The catcher can have a:

Honeycomb Perc
Inline Perc
Showerhead Perc
Tree Perc

Decide which one you want to go for, depending on the type of hits you're looking for and the kind of perc that your bong may (or may not) have. The same goes for the chambers - the more chambers, the better filtration, and the higher the price.

Do Ash Catchers Make Hits Smoother?

If they have a percolator and other bong bowls, then yes, they do make hits smoother. A percolator is a kind of like a bong filter, so you'll be getting both smooth hits and a cleaner bong (along with cleaner lungs)! Get yourself an ash catcher equipped with cool showerhead perc and an extra chamber, and you'll have some of the best smoking experiences in your life!

Should an Ash Catcher Have Water?

Yes, but not too much! Add enough water to your catcher to ensure proper filtration, but not so much that the dirty water starts to overflow into your bong, dirtying your main bong water. This would defeat the purpose of an ash catcher, to begin with. So, stick to a small amount of water - just enough to get the job done!

Do Ash Catchers Work for Dabs?

Ash catchers work with weeds and herbs, bongs, and dab rigs! Your dab rig will work flawlessly! Just attach your ash catcher to the downstem of your favorite water pipe and smoke as much as you want! You won't have to scrub the bong with gallons of bong cleaner afterward!

How Do You Empty an Ash Catcher?

The good news is that cleaning ash catchers is a piece of cake! All you need to do is the following:

Soak your ash catcher in hot water for about 15 minutes
Rinse it
Pour bong cleaner liquid into it, making sure that the entire surface is covered
Let it sit for about 10 minutes
Rinse it with hot water, removing all resin, dirt, and remaining cleaner

That's it! You now have a clean catcher, ready to be used again!

What Size Ash Catcher Do I Need?

Unless you want your water pipe to be imbalanced and fall over, be sure not to buy an ash catcher that's too big or too heavy for your smaller, daintier bong. The size and weight of your catcher are proportionally dependent on the size and weight of your bong - measure your bong, and you'll know what size ash catcher you need to go with it!

Do You Put Water in Dry Ash Catchers?

The short answer is yes. Dry ash catchers must be filled with a little bit of water. In this manner, when you smoke, the ashes will fall into the water in the ash catcher instead of your bong!

Can You Put an Ash Catcher on a Dab Rig?

Yes. An ash catcher is a glass device that can be easily connected to a dab rig or bong.

What is an Ash Catcher Used For?

Water pipes are equipped with ash catcher adapters that filter smoke and reduce the amount of tar reaching the water chamber. The function of an ash catcher is to keep particles from entering your water. Due to its transparency, it is possible to see clearly what is in the water when using a glass ash catcher.
