TREE PERK REVERSAL ASH CATCHER

What Do The Features Actually Do?

Understanding the specs helps you see the real value this ash catcher brings to every session. Here’s a quick look at how each feature translates into a better experience.

Every component is designed to improve filtration, prevent messes, and ensure durability.

• The tree percolator is a classic design known for powerful smoke diffusion.
• Its 90-degree angle ensures stability on bongs with upright joints.
• Borosilicate construction resists thermal shock from temperature changes.

While the specs look good on paper, the performance is what truly matters. The tree percolator and reversal chamber work together to completely transform your session.

How Does The Tree Percolator Improve Hits?

A tree percolator is a master of diffusion. As smoke is pulled through, it's forced into tiny slits on each of the percolator's "arms." This action breaks the smoke into countless small bubbles, which increases its contact with the water. The result is rapid cooling and filtering that removes harshness for a smooth, flavorful hit every time.

Why Is The Reversal Chamber Important?

The reversal chamber is your bong's best friend. Without it, the intense bubbling from the perc could easily splash dirty water into your bong's main chamber, defeating the purpose of an ash catcher. This smart design creates an internal pathway that contains the water and prevents any splashback, ensuring your piece stays pristine.

This ash catcher combines powerful filtration with a smart design to keep your setup clean.

• The multi-arm tree perc creates maximum smoke diffusion.
• The reversal chamber is a key feature for preventing splashback.
• Together, they provide cleaner hits and a cleaner bong.

Compatibility is crucial. This ash catcher is specifically designed for bongs with a 14mm female joint that sits at a 90-degree (vertical) angle. This is a common setup for straight tubes and many percolator bongs.

Will This Ash Catcher Fit My Bong?

To confirm the fit, check three things on your bong:

1. Joint Gender: Your bong must have a female joint opening for this male ash catcher to slide into.
2. Joint Size: Your joint should be 14mm. A U.S. dime is slightly larger than 14mm, so if a dime almost fits into the opening, you likely have a 14mm joint.
3. Joint Angle: Your joint must be positioned straight up at a 90-degree angle. If it comes out at a diagonal, you will need a 45-degree ash catcher instead.

Checklist: Choosing the Right Ash Catcher

• Joint Size: Match your bong's joint (this one is 14mm).
• Joint Gender: Get the opposite of your bong's joint (this one is male).
• Angle: Use 90° for straight tubes, 45° for beaker bongs (this one is 90°).
• Percolator Type: Tree percs offer great filtration but can be harder to clean.
• Weight & Size: Ensure the ash catcher won't make your bong unstable.

Verify your bong has a 14mm female joint and a 90-degree angle for a perfect fit.

• This ash catcher has a 14mm male joint.
• The 90-degree angle is designed for bongs with vertical joints.
• It fits inside a female joint, the most common type on water pipes.

What Are Other Affordable Ash Catcher Options?

While the Tree Perk Reversal offers advanced filtration, we carry other great options in the same price range. Here's how it compares to other styles you might consider.

For under $30, the Tree Perk Reversal offers the best combination of filtration and features.

• Ash catchers are for flower and use water to trap debris.
• Reclaim catchers are for concentrates and are used dry to save material.
• Simpler percolators like showerheads are easier to clean but offer less diffusion.

Keeping your ash catcher clean is key to its performance. We recommend rinsing it with hot water after every session to prevent buildup. For a deep clean, a dedicated glass cleaning solution paired with coarse salt is most effective.

How Do You Clean A Tree Perc Ash Catcher?

Tree percs can be tricky due to their intricate arms. The best method is to fill the ash catcher about one-third full with isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Seal the openings and shake it vigorously. The salt acts as an abrasive to scrub the internal surfaces. For stubborn resin, let it soak for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

Regular rinsing and weekly deep cleaning will keep your tree perc functioning perfectly.

• Frequent rinsing with hot water prevents heavy resin buildup.
• Isopropyl alcohol and salt is an effective combination for deep cleaning glass.
• Soaking helps dissolve stubborn residue inside the percolator arms.

Using your ash catcher correctly ensures you get the best performance and longevity from it. Follow these simple steps for every session.

What Should I Do Before And After Each Session?

6-Step Freshness Workflow

1. Fill: Add a small amount of cold water to the ash catcher, just enough to submerge the percolator slits.
2. Attach: Gently insert the ash catcher's male joint into your bong's female joint.
3. Pack: Place your flower bowl on top of the ash catcher's female joint.
4. Enjoy: Light up and use your bong as you normally would.
5. Empty: After your session, carefully remove the ash catcher and pour out the dirty water.
6. Rinse: Rinse the inside with hot water to clear out loose debris.

A simple fill, use, empty, and rinse cycle is all it takes to maintain clean sessions.

• Use just enough water to cover the percolator's slits to avoid splashback.
• Emptying and rinsing the ash catcher after each use is highly recommended.
• This prevents resin from hardening and makes deep cleaning much easier.
