About the Product
The Lookah 6 Inch Triple Honeycomb Perc Ash Catcher is a glass attachment that adds three layers of diffusion to a water pipe. It works by trapping ash to keep your main piece cleaner while using water filtration to cool the smoke.
This 6-inch attachment from Lookah is designed to upgrade your session by adding filtration and keeping your main water pipe cleaner for longer. By routing smoke through its chamber first, it stops ash and other residues that would otherwise make your piece dirty. The three honeycomb percolators provide serious water filtration before the smoke even reaches the primary chamber.
What Is The Purpose Of A Triple Perc Ash Catcher?
A triple perc ash catcher has two main jobs. First, as an ash catcher, it traps debris from the bowl, which stops it from dirtying the water in your bong. Second, its "triple perc" design uses three separate percolator discs to diffuse smoke through water several times. This process cools the smoke and can offer more filtration than a standard dry ash catcher.
This ash catcher improves your setup by catching debris and adding three layers of water filtration for cooler, cleaner sessions.
- Acts as a primary barrier against ash and residue.
- Features three honeycomb percs for diffusion.
- Stands 6 inches tall for significant filtration capacity.
- Helps reduce how often you need to clean your main piece.

Triple Honeycomb Filtration
The standout feature of this accessory is its powerful filtration system. Unlike simpler designs, the triple-stacked honeycomb percolators work together to create a strong and visually impressive diffusion process.
How Does A Triple Honeycomb Perc Work?
Each honeycomb perc is a flat glass disc with dozens of small holes. As you draw, smoke is pulled down and forced through the holes of all three submerged discs. This action splits one stream of smoke into thousands of tiny bubbles, which greatly increases the surface area that touches the water. The result is a rapid cooling and filtering effect, repeated three times before the smoke leaves the ash catcher.
Three stacked honeycomb percs work in order to split smoke into thousands of bubbles for maximum water contact.
- Smoke is forced through three separate perforated discs.
- This process creates massive diffusion and rapid cooling.
- The bubble-stacking action is effective and impressive to watch.
Ensuring The Perfect Fit For Your Piece
An ash catcher is only useful if it fits your water pipe correctly. Because of the different joint types and bong shapes, checking for compatibility before you buy is the most important step. An incorrect fit can lead to an unstable setup or a product you can't use.
Will This Six-Inch Ash Catcher Fit Your Bong?
To know if this will fit, you must check four things on your current water pipe: joint size, joint gender, joint angle, and physical clearance. At 6 inches tall, this is a large accessory that needs enough space to avoid hitting the base or body of your bong.
Your 4-Point Compatibility Checklist
- Joint Size: Does your piece have a 14mm or 18mm joint? You need to match it.
- Joint Gender: Does your piece have a female joint (where the bowl goes in)? If so, you need a male-jointed ash catcher, and the other way around.
- Joint Angle: Does your joint stem point straight up (90 degrees) or out at an angle (45 degrees)? Match the angle to keep the ash catcher upright.
- Clearance & Stability: Is there at least 6+ inches of space for the ash catcher? Think about the added weight—make sure your bong has a stable base to prevent it from tipping.
How Do You Measure For An Ash Catcher?
Guessing by sight can be wrong. The best way to find your joint size is to use a ruler or caliper. A 14mm joint is about the width of a pinky finger, while an 18mm joint is closer to the width of an index finger. For the angle, 90-degree joints are common on straight tubes, and 45-degree joints are typical for beaker bongs. Always measure your specific piece to be sure.
Confirming compatibility is vital. Measure your joint's size, gender, and angle, and check for enough clearance before ordering.
- An incompatible ash catcher cannot be used.
- Measure your joint size; do not guess.
- Match the joint angle (45° or 90°) to keep it upright.
- Ensure your bong is stable enough to support the added weight.
Care And Maintenance Guide
Keeping your Lookah triple honeycomb ash catcher clean is key for its performance. Clogged percs can increase drag and change the flavor. Regular rinsing and occasional deep cleaning will keep it working like new.
How Do You Clean A Clogged Honeycomb Perc?
For tough clogs, a soak is needed. Fill the ash catcher with a glass cleaning solution or a mix of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Seal the openings and shake gently to loosen residue. Let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour for stubborn spots. Then, rinse it completely with warm water until all cleaning agents are gone and the percs are clear.
Freshness Workflow: Cleaning Your Ash Catcher
- Empty & Rinse: After each use, empty the dirty water and rinse with warm water to prevent buildup.
- Add Cleaner: For a deep clean, pour in your favorite glass cleaner or an isopropyl alcohol/salt mixture.
- Seal & Shake: Cover the joints safely and shake gently to move the solution around.
- Soak (If Needed): Let the ash catcher sit for at least 30 minutes for tough, clogged percs.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Flush with warm water until all residue and cleaning solution are gone.
- Dry Completely: Let it air dry fully on a soft towel before storing or reattaching.
Regular rinsing stops buildup, while a soak with a cleaning solution can clear even stubborn clogs from the percs.
- Rinse the ash catcher right after your session ends.
- Use isopropyl alcohol and salt for an effective deep clean.
- A 30-minute soak can help dissolve difficult residue.
- Always rinse completely to remove all cleaning agents.
Before And After Each Use
A few simple checks before and after your session can ensure safety, performance, and a long life for your gear. This includes managing water levels and checking the glass for any problems.
What Should You Check Before And After Each Session?
Before use, check the glass for any cracks or chips, especially around the joints. Fill it with just enough water to cover the bottom perc. After use, empty the dirty water right away to make cleaning easier. Always handle the glass attachment carefully, as the added weight can put stress on your water pipe's joint if not handled well.
Check the glass, use the right water level, and empty it after use to ensure a safe and consistent experience.
- Before: Inspect the glass and fill with minimal water.
- After: Empty dirty water quickly to make cleaning simple.
- Handle with care to avoid stressing the joints.
