Ash Catchers are the wonderful contraptions that save the pain of having to deep clean your bong or dab rig. We know, bong is a piece which grab everyone’s attraction. Unfortunately, after just a few smoke sessions, the bong can become noticeably dirty. So cleaning your bong is a headache. And an ash catcher is a solution to keep your bong from getting dirty. Basically, ash catcher is kind of like a mini bong attached to your bong. This water pipe attachment keeps ash and resin from entering your bong. This specially designed ash catcher helps to capture dirt, debris, and ash before the smoke reaches your piece. As a result, you can keep your bong cleaner for longer. Usually ash catchers come in glass material.

Ash catcher is a piece with a bowl and diffuser/percolator that is put right into bong joint. Percolation and diffusion represent the two different kinds of ash catcher. And depend on whether the ash catcher uses water or not. Percolation ash catchers are the most popular kind. They use water most often feature a percolator. They do a great job of filtering out ash and debris, as well as cooling down the smoke. And they are also easier to clean than their diffusion counterparts. Diffusion ash catchers are those which don’t use water but feature percolators. They simply diffuse air before sending it through the bong. This process still cools your smoke, and a specially designed cavity within the chamber captures the ashes. A plain ash catcher without percolation simply sends smoke through the chamber before it goes through the bong. These are the simplest kinds of ash catchers.

To find the right ash catcher for your bong, though, you must know the angle of the bong’s joint, whether the bong’s joint is male or female, and what size the joint is. The style of the stem is also an important thing. It affects percolation and diffusion so it must be properly considered. The last important consideration is weight.

Different styles of pipes can attach to ash catchers and for this, angle of joint should be render. Ash catchers mostly come in two angles the 90-degree angle ash catcher and 45-degree angle ash catcher. And common joint sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Sizes may vary slightly, and there are adapters for size as well. Most bongs have a female fitting, where attachments like ash catchers use a male fitting to fit inside. That is, you should select an ash catcher with opposite gender fitting for your bong. Remember, even if the ash catcher you want doesn’t fit with your piece, adapters are available to fix gender or size problems.

Thus, ash catchers come in a range of styles and looks.
