SWISS PERC GLASS OIL BURNER BONG DRY ASH CATCHER

Understanding the specs helps you see the value in every session. This table breaks down how each feature helps create a better experience.

The combination of a 45° angle, borosilicate glass, and a Swiss perc delivers a durable, effective, and low-maintenance upgrade.

• Borosilicate glass ensures the piece can handle heat and daily use.
• The 45-degree joint is specifically for bongs with angled stems.
• A Swiss perc design gives great diffusion without the splashback of water percs.
• Operating as a dry catcher simplifies maintenance and cleaning.

Getting the right fit is crucial for a perfect seal and proper function. Follow these steps to ensure you select the correct size for your bong.

Fitment Checklist

1. Confirm Angle: Verify your bong's joint is 45 degrees. Straight tube bongs usually need a 90-degree catcher, while beakers often use 45 degrees.
2. Measure Joint Size: Use the guide below to determine if you need a 14mm or 18mm joint.
3. Check Joint Gender: This ash catcher has a male joint, which fits into a female joint on a water pipe. This is the most common setup.
4. Test Balance: Once attached, ensure your bong remains stable with the added weight.

How Do I Measure My Bong's Joint Size?

Don't have a ruler? A simple dime can help you tell the difference. A 14mm joint opening is slightly smaller than a dime, while a dime will easily fall into an 18mm joint opening. We offer this ash catcher in both popular sizes to match your piece.

When Should I Choose A 45 Degree Ash Catcher?

A 45-degree ash catcher is designed for water pipes where the joint comes out at an angle, not straight up. This is most common on beaker-style bongs. Using a 45-degree catcher on these pieces ensures the accessory sits upright, maintaining proper balance and function.

Choosing the right size and angle is easy. Match the 45° angle to your beaker bong and use a dime to check if you need a 14mm or 18mm joint.

• A 45-degree angle is standard for most beaker-style bongs.
• Use a dime to quickly tell the difference between a 14mm and 18mm joint.
• This piece uses a male joint, designed to fit into a female bong joint.

This isn't just another piece of glass; its design is centered on practical performance. From the percolator to its dry catcher function, every part serves a purpose.

How Does The Swiss Perc Design Improve Airflow?

The Swiss percolator design is all about minimizing drag while maximizing diffusion. Unlike tree or honeycomb percs that can create resistance, the holes in a Swiss perc allow smoke to pass through freely. This forced path gently bubbles and cools the smoke without creating the splash associated with water-based percs, giving you a smooth pull every time.

Why Is It Designed As A Dry Ash Catcher?

A dry ash catcher offers two main advantages: simplicity and maintenance. Since it uses no water, there's no need to worry about fill levels or spilling dirty water. Its only purpose is to capture ash and resin, which it does well. This makes emptying and cleaning the catcher a quick, hassle-free job after each session.

The Swiss perc provides smooth diffusion with low drag, while its dry catcher design simplifies use and makes cleaning effortless.

• The Swiss perc's hole pattern minimizes draw resistance and splashback.
• As a dry catcher, it requires no water and is easy to empty and clean.
• This design protects the water in your main piece, keeping it cleaner for longer.

While the Swiss Perc is fantastic for its splash-proof diffusion, other percolators offer different experiences. Here’s a quick comparison of popular ash catcher styles we carry.

The Swiss Perc balances smooth airflow and easy cleaning, making it a great all-around choice compared to other specialized percolators.

• The Swiss Perc offers a middle ground between basic catchers and complex recyclers.
• Honeycomb percs provide more diffusion but can be harder to clean.
• Recyclers offer maximum cooling but are also more complex.

Keeping your Swiss Perc Ash Catcher clean is key for the best performance. A clean piece ensures pure flavor and open airflow. Follow these steps for a quick and effective clean.

What Is The Best Way To Clean A Swiss Perc Ash Catcher?

A simple soak and shake with isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt is the most effective method. The salt acts as a gentle scrubber on the inside, while the alcohol dissolves the resin.

1. Empty Debris: Turn the piece upside down and gently tap to remove any loose ash.
2. Rinse: Rinse with warm water to flush out any remaining particles.
3. Add Solution: Pour in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Use bowl plugs or your hands to seal the openings.
4. Shake: Shake firmly for 30-60 seconds, making sure the solution reaches all parts of the percolator.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Empty the dirty solution and rinse well with warm water until all alcohol and salt is gone.
6. Dry: Let it air dry completely before you use it again.

Regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and salt will keep your ash catcher working perfectly and tasting fresh for years.

• Empty loose ash after every session for easier deep cleans.
• Use a mix of 91%+ ISO alcohol and coarse salt for the best results.
• Shake for about one minute to remove stubborn residue.
• Always rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it fully air dry.

A few simple checks before and after you use your ash catcher will extend its life and improve your experience.

Before Each Use

• Confirm the joint is clean and free of debris for a tight seal.
• Dry-fit the ash catcher to ensure your bong is stable and won't tip over.
• Inspect the glass for any new chips or cracks before use.

After Each Use

• Gently tap out any loose ash to prevent buildup.
• Give it a quick rinse with warm water if you can.
• Wipe the male joint to keep it from getting stuck.

Quick checks before use and simple rinses after use are the best habits for maintaining your glass investment.
