What Is A Glass Drop-down?

A Glass Drop-down is an essential accessory to use with a dab rig or a bong! Drop-down Reclaim Catchers can be vertical or horizontal and come in different styles and shapes! Some have removable attachments, while others are one solid piece.

Why Should You Use A Dab Rig/Bong Drop-down?

It would help if you used a Drop-down with the Dab Rig and Bong for the following reasons:

  1. Drop-down Reclaim Catcher keeps your dab rig and bong cleaner longer by catching all the residue before it gets pulled into your rig/bong when inhaled. 
  2. Glass Drop-downs allow you to collect and recycle your residue easily. 
  3. Residue trapped in the Drop Down Adapter stays clean and out of water. 
  4. When inhaling, add distance between your face and the bong flower bowl and banger nail.
