Product Specifications

Every detail of the Duck Ash Catcher is designed for performance and style. From the material to the joint angle, here’s how each feature provides a better session.

Specification Value (What it is) Benefit (What it does for you)
90-Degree Joint Angle A perpendicular joint made for stemless bongs and rigs where the joint sits vertically. Ensures your bowl sits upright for an even burn and prevents spills, unlike a 45-degree catcher on the wrong piece.
Borosilicate Glass A high-quality, thermal-resistant type of glass used for premium smoking accessories. Offers superior durability against heat and accidental bumps compared to standard glass, ensuring a long-lasting piece.
Duck Design A creatively shaped body that resembles a rubber duck. Functions as a natural splashguard and provides an effective chamber to trap ash, all while being a fun conversation starter.
Frosted Galaxy Finish A sandblasted glass texture featuring a cosmic print design. Hides minor smudges and water spots better than clear glass and gives your setup a unique, custom aesthetic.
  • A 90-degree angle is essential for stemless bongs.
  • Borosilicate glass is the standard for quality smoking accessories.
  • The unique theme adds personality to your piece.

What Are The Key Features And Why Do They Matter?

Understanding the details helps you know you are getting the right part for your piece. Here is a breakdown of what makes this ash catcher special.

Why Do I Need A 90 Degree Ash Catcher?

You need a 90-degree ash catcher if the joint on your bong or rig points straight up. This style is common on stemless straight tubes, recyclers, and many modern scientific glass designs. Using a 90-degree catcher ensures your bowl stays level, giving you an even burn and preventing spills. A 45-degree catcher on a 90-degree joint would angle the bowl awkwardly.

What Is The Benefit Of The Unique Duck Design?

The duck shape is more than just a playful design. Its hollow body and curved neck create a natural chamber that traps ash and debris well. This shape also acts as a built-in splashguard, preventing water from bubbling up into your bowl. It provides all the function of a standard ash catcher but with a much more memorable and fun look.

Does The Frosted Galaxy Print Have A Purpose?

Yes, it does. While the galaxy print offers a great look, the frosted finish has a practical advantage. Frosted glass diffuses light and is less transparent, which helps hide fingerprints, water spots, and minor resin buildup between cleanings. It gives you a piece that looks cleaner for longer compared to crystal-clear glass.

  • Match the angle of your ash catcher to your bong's joint.
  • The shape of an ash catcher can influence its splashguard function.
  • Frosted finishes help maintain a cleaner appearance.

When And Where To Use This Catcher

This accessory is perfect for anyone looking to simplify their routine and customize their setup. It is a small change that makes a big difference.

  • For the Daily User: If you use your piece regularly, this catcher will greatly reduce how often you need to do a full deep clean.
  • For the Style-Conscious: Turn a generic bong into a personalized setup. The duck design is a conversation piece that shows off your personality.
  • For a Smoother Hit: While designed as a dry catcher, you can add a small amount of water to introduce another layer of percolation, helping to cool the smoke.
  • For Gifting: It's an affordable and fun gift for any friend who loves their 90-degree rig but complains about cleaning it.
  • An ash catcher's primary role is to keep the main bong clean.
  • Themed accessories allow for easy personalization.
  • Adding water can provide extra smoke diffusion.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Duck Ash Catcher

Keeping your Duck Ash Catcher fresh is simple and ensures it performs its best. The frosted glass is just as easy to clean as clear glass.

What Is The Best Way To Clean A Frosted Glass Ash Catcher?

The best way to clean frosted borosilicate glass is the same trusted method used for all glass pieces. First, rinse the catcher with hot water to remove any loose debris. Make a cleaning solution by mixing coarse salt with at least 91% isopropyl alcohol. Pour it inside, cover the openings, and shake it hard for 1-2 minutes. The salt scrubs the inside, while the alcohol dissolves the resin. Rinse well with hot water and let it air dry.

  • A solution of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt is effective for cleaning glass.
  • Frosted glass cleans just as easily as clear glass.
  • Regular rinsing prevents significant resin buildup.

What To Know Before And After Your Purchase

Getting the right fit is key. Use this checklist before you buy, and follow the simple steps once your ash catcher arrives.

Your Pre-Purchase Checklist

  • Check Joint Size: Is your bong's female joint 14mm?
  • Check Joint Angle: Is your bong's joint vertical (90°)?
  • Check Joint Gender: Do you need a male ash catcher? (This one is male.)
  • Consider Stability: Is your bong sturdy enough to support the added weight?
  • Confirm Style: Does the duck and galaxy theme fit your vibe?

Quick Start Guide

  1. Ensure your bong's 14mm female joint is clean.
  2. Gently insert the 14mm male joint of the ash catcher.
  3. (Optional) Add a very small amount of water to the catcher.
  4. Place your 14mm male bowl into the top of the ash catcher.
  5. Use as you normally would and watch it catch the debris!
  • Most bongs have a 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm joint size.
  • Bongs typically use either a 45-degree or 90-degree joint angle.
  • Adding an ash catcher requires checking for gender compatibility (male into female).

FAQ

How Do I Know If I Need A 90-Degree Ash Catcher?

If your bong's joint points straight up (a 90-degree angle from the base), you need a 90-degree ash catcher. This keeps your bowl level. If it is angled like on a classic beaker bong, you need a 45-degree one instead.

What Is The Joint Size And Gender Of This Ash Catcher?

This piece has a 14mm Male joint. It is designed to fit into a bong that has a 14mm Female joint.

Can I Put Water In This Ash Catcher?

Yes, you can. While it works perfectly as a dry catcher, adding a small amount of water will provide extra smoke diffusion. Be careful not to overfill, as it can make the drag heavier or cause splashing.

Is Borosilicate Glass Strong?

Yes, borosilicate glass is much more durable and resistant to heat changes than standard glass. It is the industry standard for quality smoking accessories, so it is built to withstand regular use.

Will This Fit A Beaker-Style Bong?

Typically, no. Most beaker bongs use a removable downstem angled at 45 degrees. This 90-degree ash catcher is for stemless bongs with a vertical joint. Always check your specific piece before ordering.
