DISC PERCOLATOR ASH CATCHER

Choosing the right ash catcher is easy when you know what to check for. Use this list to confirm you're getting the perfect fit for your water pipe.

• [✓] Match Your Joint Gender: This ash catcher has a male joint. It is designed to fit into a bong with a female joint.
• [✓] Match Your Joint Size: Check if your bong uses a 14mm or 18mm joint. We offer both sizes for a perfect, airtight seal.
• [✓] Match Your Joint Angle: Does your bong's joint stick straight up (90°) or out at an angle (45°)? Choose the matching angle so the ash catcher sits level.
• [✓] Consider Your Bowl: Your existing bowl piece will fit into the top of this ash catcher. Be sure your bowl's joint matches, like a 14mm bowl for a 14mm ash catcher.

• (Evidence line) This model comes with a male joint, which fits into female-jointed bongs.
• (Evidence line) It is available in both 14mm and 18mm joint size options.
• (Evidence line) It is also available in both 45-degree and 90-degree angle options.

The materials and design show why this ash catcher performs so well. It is built with quality and function in mind.

• (Evidence line) Borosilicate glass is known for its high durability and resistance to heat.
• (Evidence line) A disc percolator diffuses smoke through many small holes for better cooling.

Getting the right size and angle is the most important step. This quick guide makes it easy to find what your setup requires and prevent wobbly fits or awkward angles.

How Do I Choose The Right Joint Size For My Ash Catcher?

Joint size refers to the diameter of the connection. The two most common sizes are 14mm and 18mm. A simple way to check is with a dime: if a dime fits loosely into your bong's joint, you need a 14mm. If it falls through easily, you likely have an 18mm. Matching the size ensures an airtight seal for the best function.

When Should I Choose A 45 Vs 90 Degree Ash Catcher?

The angle ensures your ash catcher sits upright. Just look at your bong's downstem joint:

• Choose 45° if you have a beaker or bubble-style bong where the joint comes out at a slanted angle.
• Choose 90° if you have a straight tube bong or dab rig where the joint points straight up.

• (Evidence line) Ash catchers with a 45-degree angle are typically for bongs with angled downstems.
• (Evidence line) Ash catchers with a 90-degree angle are mainly for straight tube bongs.
• (Evidence line) The most common joint sizes for bongs are 14mm and 18mm.

Beyond catching ash, this accessory improves how your bong works. Each feature is designed for a better, cleaner, and smoother experience.

How Does The Disc Percolator Provide Maximum Filtration?

Unlike a simple open tube, a disc percolator is a solid puck of glass fritted with dozens of tiny pores. As you inhale, smoke is forced through this maze of holes, which breaks it down into a stack of small bubbles. This process dramatically increases the surface area of the smoke that touches water, providing intense cooling and filtration that you can feel immediately.

Why Is Borosilicate Glass A Must-Have?

An accessory should be as tough as your bong. This piece is made from 100% borosilicate glass, the same material trusted in lab equipment. It's very resistant to thermal shock, meaning it can handle rapid temperature changes without cracking. This durability ensures a long lifespan and a pure flavor.

• (Evidence line) A disc percolator forces smoke through many tiny holes for diffusion.
• (Evidence line) This process cools smoke and filters out impurities.
• (Evidence line) Borosilicate glass is highly resistant to heat shock and breakage.

While any ash catcher is an improvement, the percolator type makes a big difference. Here’s a quick comparison of popular ash catcher styles.

• (Evidence line) Disc and honeycomb percolators provide excellent smoke diffusion.
• (Evidence line) Tree percolators offer a classic, balanced level of filtration.
• (Evidence line) A basic dry catcher traps debris but does not cool the smoke with water.

Getting started takes less than a minute. Follow these simple steps for a perfect session every time.

1. Add Water: Carefully fill the ash catcher with enough water to submerge the disc percolator slits, but not so much that it will splash into the bong.
2. Attach to Bong: Securely insert the male joint of the ash catcher into the female joint of your water pipe.
3. Insert Bowl: Place your packed bowl piece into the top female joint of the ash catcher.
4. Enjoy: Light up and draw as you normally would. The ash catcher will activate, filtering the smoke before it enters your bong.

• (Evidence line) Fill the ash catcher with enough water to cover the percolator's slits.
• (Evidence line) The ash catcher fits neatly between your bong and your bowl piece.

Since this piece traps most of the debris, it will get dirty faster than your bong—which is its job. Regular cleaning is easy and keeps your hits tasting fresh. For best results, clean it as often as you would change your bong water.

A simple soak and shake with 99% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt for 5-10 minutes is usually enough to remove any buildup. Rinse thoroughly with hot water afterward until all the alcohol is gone, and let it dry.

• (Evidence line) An ash catcher should be cleaned often because it traps the most resin.
• (Evidence line) A mix of isopropyl alcohol and salt is very effective for cleaning glass.
