Cleaning your bong after every few bowls sucks - especially if you’re using it daily, and find yourself dealing with this hassle a few times a week. Residue builds fast, gunk settles deep, and before you know it, that smooth glass piece starts tasting like a burnt-out barbecue.

Choosing the Right Ash Catcher for Your Bong

Finding the right ash catcher isn’t just about slapping on whatever looks cool. There are so many different styles at your fingertips in our catalog. You need to understand the nuances between 14mm ash catchers and 18mm ash catchers, too. Start with these three questions:

What’s your joint size? 

What’s the angle? 

What’s the gender?

Most ash catchers come in 14mm or 18mm, so match that yo your bong’s joint first. If your bong has a 14mm female joint, for example, you’ll need a 14mm male ash catcher - one that matches the joint angle (typically 45° or 90°).

Then you can think about style. A Honeycomb Ash Catcher is a solid bet if you’re all about clean taste and max filtration. Or, go with a  Showerhead or Dry Ash Catcher for great airflow and easy cleaning. Want minimal drag and easy fits? A Downstem Ash Catcher keeps things simple and compact.

You need to take weight into account as well. For instance, a mini bong can’t accommodate a larger ash catcher as it just wouldn’t be practical; it could end up tipping over. It would be too top-heavy and you could end up with some broken glass and a sesh that’s ruined before it starts.

Whether you’re upgrading a daily driver or looking for that perfect final touch, we’ve got the ideal ash catcher for your rig. You don’t have to play the guessing game, either. Get in touch with our world-class customer service team for a personalized recommendation!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Ash Catcher?

An ash catcher is used to help filter and catch ash and debris, preventing them from entering the main chamber of the bong. It’s typically attached to the joint of the water pipe and provides an additional layer of filtration.

Why Do I Need an Ash Catcher?

Using an ash catcher with your water pipe offers several advantages:

• Improved filtration: They help trap ash and debris for an additional level of filtration, keeping your water pipe cleaner.
• Smoother hits: Removing ash and impurities can help deliver smoother and cleaner hits for a better smoking experience.
• Easier cleaning: They can reduce water pipe cleaning frequency since they trap much of the residue, making maintenance easier.

Do Ash Catchers Really Work?

Yes - there’s a reason they’re one of our hottest-selling items! They’re incredibly effective at keeping your bong cleaner and your hits smoother by catching ash, resin, and debris before they enter your bong’s main chamber.

What is the Difference Between a Dry Catcher and an Ash Catcher?

As the name suggests, a dry catcher doesn’t use water. It still catches ash and debris before they hit your bong, though. You’re just getting a bit less filtration and cooling. These are a lot easier to clean, though.

What Ash Catcher Sizes are Available?

Ash catchers typically come in 14mm or 18mm joint sizes and either 45° or 90° angles. You’ll also want to match the joint gender - male or female - to your bong. If you’re unsure, we have a full guide and a team ready to help.

Are Ash Catchers Compatible With All Water Pipes?

Ash catchers come in various sizes and joint types, so compatibility can vary. It's essential to select one with a joint size and type that matches your water pipe. Common sizes include 14mm and 18mm, but other sizes may also be available. Check the product descriptions or consult customer support for assistance in choosing the right size for your water pipe.

How Do I Use My New Ash Catcher Correctly?

It’s so simple:

1. Fill your water pipe with water as usual.
2. Attach the ash catcher to the joint of your water pipe. Make sure it fits securely.
3. Pack your bowl with your desired material and attach it to the ash catcher.
4. Light your material and inhale gently through the mouthpiece, just like you would with a regular water pipe.
5. The ash catcher will filter and trap the ash and debris, preventing it from entering the main chamber of the water pipe.

How Do I Clean an Ash Catcher?

It’s really no different from cleaning your water pipe:

1. Disassemble the ash catcher from your water pipe.
2. Empty any trapped ash and debris.
3. Rinse with warm water to remove loose residue.
4. Use pipe cleaners, brushes, or a cleaning solution to remove stubborn residue. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning.

Then, just rinse the ash catcher thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry before reattaching it to your water pipe.

What is the Best Ash Catcher?

It all depends on your setup and smoking style. In general, we prefer the Honeycomb or Showerhead styles for their unparalleled filtration. The dry catcher style is best for simplicity, though. But EVERY ash catcher in this collection could be considered the “best.” They’ve been hand-picked for quality so you can rest assured you’re getting the best of the best.
