SHOWERHEAD PERC GLASS ASH CATCHER

Understanding the specifications helps you see why this ash catcher is a durable and effective upgrade. Each material and design choice serves a purpose, from heat resistance to filtration efficiency.

Why Do The Material And Angle Matter?

The use of borosilicate glass ensures the piece can handle rapid temperature changes during use and cleaning. The 45° angle is crucial for compatibility and stability on bongs with an angled downstem, which prevents awkward weight distribution and tipping.

These specs confirm the ash catcher is built for durability, compatibility, and superior filtration performance.

• Borosilicate glass construction resists thermal shock and breakage.
• The 14mm 45° joint configuration is common for beaker bongs.
• A showerhead percolator is designed to maximize smoke diffusion.

This is not just a simple ash trap. Every element is designed to improve your session, from the complex inner perc to the sturdy glass construction. It combines practicality with performance in a single, easy-to-add accessory.

What Makes The Showerhead Perc Effective?

A showerhead perc works by forcing smoke through a series of small, precise slits submerged in water. This action breaks a single large smoke stream into dozens of tiny bubbles. This greatly increases the surface area of the smoke that contacts the water, resulting in rapid cooling and effective filtration.

Will This Ash Catcher Fit My Water Pipe?

This ash catcher is made to fit any water pipe or bong that has a 14mm female joint set at a 45-degree angle. This is the standard configuration for most beaker-style and many straight-tube bongs. To check your piece, see if your current bowl has a 14mm male joint and inserts into the bong at an angle.

Is This Ash Catcher Right For You?

• Your bong has a 14mm female joint.
• Your bong's joint is angled at 45 degrees.
• You want to keep your bong water cleaner.
• You are looking for a smoother, less harsh hit.
• You want an easy upgrade without buying a whole new pipe.
• You prefer the durability of borosilicate glass.

This piece is a functional upgrade focused on performance, compatibility with common bongs, and overall durability.

• The showerhead perc multiplies smoke-to-water contact for cooling.
• It fits the common 14mm/45° beaker bong standard.
• This accessory is an effective way to upgrade an existing bong.

Choosing the right accessory depends on your priorities. While this Showerhead Perc Ash Catcher offers excellent filtration, other options might be better suited for different needs, like concentrate collection or simplicity.

How Does This Piece Compare To Other Styles?

Compared to a basic ash catcher, the showerhead perc provides active filtration, not just debris collection. Unlike a recycler ash catcher, which focuses on constant water cycling, a showerhead is all about maximizing diffusion in a compact space. It offers a significant upgrade over a simple drop-down adapter, which only changes joint geometry.

This showerhead perc ash catcher strikes a balance between effective filtration and practical, everyday use.

• It provides more filtration than a basic ash catcher or drop-down.
• It is less complex and generally more compact than a recycler.
• Ideal for users prioritizing both smoothness and cleanliness.

Keeping your ash catcher clean is the key to getting the best performance and flavor. Since it traps all the gunk, it will get dirty faster than your bong. A quick clean every few sessions is recommended.

What Is The Best Way To Clean A Showerhead Perc?

Cleaning a showerhead perc is easier than it looks. Using a combination of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt creates an abrasive solution that can scrub the inside of the perc without requiring a brush.

How To Clean Your Showerhead Perc

1. Rinse: Run hot water through the ash catcher to remove any loose debris.
2. Fill: Pour in a solution of 91%+ Isopropyl Alcohol until the perc is submerged.
3. Add Salt: Add a tablespoon of coarse salt (Epsom or coarse sea salt works best).
4. Shake: Securely plug the openings and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes. You'll see the resin dissolve.
5. Final Rinse: Pour out the dirty solution and rinse thoroughly with warm water until all alcohol and salt are gone. Let it air dry.

Regular cleaning with alcohol and salt will keep your ash catcher functioning like new and tasting fresh.

• Clean every 3-5 uses for optimal performance.
• Isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt are effective for cleaning percolators.
• Thoroughly rinse with water after cleaning to remove any residue.
• Find dedicated cleaning supplies for stubborn stains.

Using your ash catcher correctly is simple, but a few tips can make the experience even better. The right water level is key to getting great percolation without any unwanted splashback.

How Much Water Should I Put In An Ash Catcher?

Fill the ash catcher with just enough water to cover the slits on the showerhead percolator, typically about 1/4 to 1/3 full. The goal is to have enough water to create bubbles when you inhale, but not so much that it splashes into your bong. You can test the level by taking a gentle pull without a lit bowl.

Proper water levels are essential for achieving ideal filtration without splashback.

• Fill water just above the top of the percolator slits.
• Too little water results in poor filtration and harsh hits.
• Too much water can lead to splashing into your mouth or bong.

An ash catcher is just the start. To get the most out of your sessions, consider pairing this piece with a high-quality water pipe. Or stock up on essential cleaning supplies to keep all your glass in top condition. Explore our full collection of Ash Catchers for more styles.
