What is the Best Ash Catcher to Use?
The best ash catcher really comes down to your preference and existing set up, for a smaller bong you may want to go with a smaller ash catcher that is less heavy. However, for your huge double chamber bong you may want to go with something more intricate.
Choosing the right ash catcher size is crucial, the ash catcher should be the same joint size as your bowl piece. The beaker bongs use the 45 degree ash catcher. If your water pipe joint sits vertically straight up and down then you will need a 90 degree ash catcher.
The best ash catcher for beaker bongs is usually something simple not too complex so you can still enjoy clearing the bong. Most beaker bongs will use a 14mm 45 degree ash catcher. Pictured above is a 14mm 45 degree ash catcher by Diamond Glass.

It can’t be labeled the best bong ash catcher if it spills dirty water into your waterpipe. The best thing about a recycler ash catcher is the dirty water does not spill into your bong. The water travels up through the percolator and back down to the bottom for continuous percolation and zero splash back.

This feature helps keeps your smoking device clean, and you happy. It’s no reason this is the best ash catcher in the game.
