GLASS DISC PERC ASH CATCHER

Understanding the key specifications helps you see the value this ash catcher adds to your setup. Each feature is designed with a purpose, from ensuring a perfect fit to delivering a better smoking experience.

Every specification is chosen to create a more reliable and effective user experience.

• Disc percs offer a great balance of filtration and easy airflow.
• Borosilicate glass construction makes the piece durable and easy to clean.
• Standardized joints and angles ensure compatibility with your favorite bong.

Choosing the right ash catcher is about matching the joint size, gender, and angle of your water pipe. Getting this right ensures a stable, airtight fit. This ash catcher has a male joint, designed to fit into the female joint found on most bongs. Follow our simple checklist to find your perfect match.

6-Point Compatibility Checklist

1. Measure Your Joint: Use a dime as a guide. If it fits inside, you have an 18mm joint. If it rests on top, it's 14mm.
2. Confirm Your Bong's Joint Gender: This ash catcher has a male joint, so it fits bongs with a female joint.
3. Check Your Bong's Joint Angle: If your downstem enters the bong at an angle, you need a 45° ash catcher. If it's vertical, you need 90°.
4. Consider Clearance: Measure the space around your joint to ensure the ash catcher won't hit the base or side of your bong.
5. Think About Weight: Adding an ash catcher adds weight. Ensure your bong has a stable base to prevent tipping.
6. Match Your Bowl: Your bowl's joint must match the ash catcher's top joint (e.g., a 14mm ash catcher needs a 14mm bowl).

How Do I Choose Between A 45 And 90 Degree Angle?

The choice depends entirely on your bong's design. The goal is for the ash catcher's bowl to sit upright. A 45° ash catcher is for bongs with an angled joint, which is typical for most beaker bongs. A 90° ash catcher is for bongs with a vertical joint, common on straight tubes or rigs. Choosing the wrong angle can cause your bowl to tilt and spill.

What Is The Difference Between A 14Mm And 18Mm Joint?

The difference is the diameter of the connection. An 18mm joint has a wider opening for greater airflow, which some users prefer. A 14mm joint is more common and provides slightly more restriction, which can improve flavor. Neither is better; it just needs to match your water pipe's joint for a proper seal.

Matching the joint size and angle is crucial for a stable, leak-free connection.

• Use a 45° angle ash catcher for most beaker bongs.
• Use a 90° angle ash catcher for most straight tube bongs.
• A 14mm joint is the most common size, while 18mm offers more airflow.

This isn't just another piece of glass; its design is centered on performance and convenience. The combination of a low-drag percolator and high-quality material makes it a functional upgrade. It’s built to perform reliably session after session, simplifying your routine while improving the results.

How Does The Flat Disc Percolator Work?

The flat disc percolator is a simple, effective diffusion system. As you inhale, smoke is pulled through the water and forced through tiny slits around the disc. This action breaks a single stream of smoke into a cascade of small bubbles. The bubbling cools the smoke and traps particles with less drag than more complex percs like matrix or honeycomb styles.

The simple, effective design focuses on delivering smooth hits with minimal effort.

• Features a flat disc perc for balanced diffusion and low drag.
• The scientific glass build ensures durability and a clean taste.
• A wide, stable base helps prevent tipping when attached to your bong.

When shopping for an affordable upgrade, you'll find a few common types of ash catchers. While basic models just trap ash, a percolator ash catcher actively improves your hit. Here’s how the Green Flower Glass Disc Perc Ash Catcher compares to other options in a similar price range.

• It provides smoother airflow compared to denser percs like matrix or honeycomb.

Setting up your new ash catcher takes less than a minute. Proper installation and water level are key to getting the best performance without splashing. Follow these simple steps to add powerful filtration to your bong.

3 Steps To A Perfect Setup

1. Fill with Water: Add just enough cold water to cover the percolator slits by about 1/4 inch. Too much water can cause drag and splashing.
2. Attach to Bong: Gently insert the ash catcher's male joint into your water pipe's female joint. Ensure it's snug and level.
3. Add Your Bowl & Test: Place your bowl on top of the ash catcher. Take a gentle pull without material to test the function and check for splashing.

How Much Water Should I Put In A Disc Perc Ash Catcher?

The ideal water level for a disc perc is just enough to submerge the diffusion slits. A good starting point is to fill it until the water is about 1/4 inch above the slits. This ensures all the smoke is filtered while leaving enough space to prevent splashback into your main piece.

A simple setup process unlocks a significantly cleaner, smoother session.

• Fill water just past the perc slits to prevent splashing.
• Ensure a snug, level fit on your bong for stability and performance.
• Perform a quick test draw before your first session to check the water level.

Keeping your ash catcher clean is the best way to ensure it functions properly and delivers fresh-tasting hits. Since it's designed to trap gunk, it will get dirty faster than your bong. We recommend rinsing it after each session and deep cleaning it at least once a week.

How Can I Prevent My Ash Catcher From Clogging?

The best way to prevent clogging is frequent rinsing. After your session, dump the dirty water and rinse the ash catcher thoroughly with hot water. This removes loose resin before it can harden. For a deeper clean, a weekly soak in isopropyl alcohol and a salt shake will break down stubborn residue.

Regular, simple cleaning is key to long-term performance and flavor purity.

• Rinse with hot water after every use to prevent resin buildup.
• For deep cleaning, use a solution of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
• Keeping the percolator slits clear ensures optimal airflow and filtration.
