The Milkyway Circuitboard is a 5-inch wet ash catcher that keeps your water pipe clean and cools your smoke. As a quick expert tip: pick the 45° angle for beaker bongs and the 90° angle for straight tubes.
This accessory is a great upgrade for your setup. The Milkyway Circuitboard is a 5-inch tall wet ash catcher from our signature collection, made to catch ash and resin before they dirty your main piece. By adding a little water, it provides an extra layer of filtration that cools down your draw and traps debris. This means you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying smoother sessions.
Made from durable borosilicate glass, it features a detailed, sandblasted circuitboard pattern that makes it stand out. It is available in multiple joint sizes and angles to create a perfect, stable connection with your favorite bong or rig.
Understanding the details helps you get the perfect fit and function for your water pipe. Each specification is chosen to improve your experience, from how it fits to how it performs.

Getting the right fit is the most important step. An incorrect size or angle will make your setup unstable. Use this guide to perfectly match the ash catcher to your water pipe.
The angle of your ash catcher must match the angle of the joint on your water pipe. This keeps the catcher sitting straight and prevents spills.
This ash catcher has a male joint, which fits into a female joint on your water pipe. Match the size for an airtight seal. If you are not sure of your water pipe's joint size, a 14mm joint is about the size of a pinky finger, while an 18mm is closer to the size of an index finger.
Beyond its main job, the Circuitboard ash catcher includes design upgrades that make it a centerpiece accessory.
The whole piece is wrapped in a detailed circuitboard pattern. This is not a sticker or decal; it is sandblasted directly into the glass. This etching process creates a premium, frosted texture that feels great in your hand and will not fade or peel. It adds a high-tech look to your glass collection.
As part of our signature series, we've included our custom 'lungs chip' inside. This special diffuser is designed to improve water agitation and airflow. It helps break down smoke into smaller bubbles for better cooling and filtering, all without adding much drag to your pull.
Setting up your new ash catcher is quick and easy. Follow these steps for the best performance and to avoid issues like splashback.
Are you wondering if a wet ash catcher is the right choice for you? Here’s a quick comparison to other common options.
| Accessory | Filtration Method | Keeps Piece Clean? | Adds Cooling? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circuitboard Wet Catcher | Water + Ash Catching | Excellent | Yes |
| Generic Dry Catcher | Ash Catching Only | Good | No |
| Basic Perc Catcher | Water + Basic Perc | Excellent | Yes (more drag) |
| No Ash Catcher | None | No | No |
Keeping your Circuitboard ash catcher clean is simple. Doing so ensures the sandblasted design stays looking sharp for years.
The key is to avoid rough materials that could wear down the textured finish. The classic isopropyl alcohol (ISO) and salt method works perfectly with one small change: use a finer grain of salt. Fill the ash catcher about 1/3 full with 91%+ ISO and add a teaspoon of fine-grain table salt. Plug the openings and shake gently for 1-2 minutes. The salt will gently scrub the inside while the ISO dissolves the resin. Rinse well with warm water, and it will look good as new.
