Feature Deep Dives
How Does The Showerhead Perc Improve Your Sessions?
The showerhead percolator is a key feature for anyone wanting a smoother experience. As smoke enters the ash catcher, it's forced through small slits at the bottom of the perc. This action breaks the smoke into smaller bubbles, increasing its surface area. This allows the water to cool and filter it more effectively. The result is a hit that is much less harsh and more flavorful, with less throat irritation. This type of perc gives you great diffusion without adding a lot of drag to your pull.
Why Choose A Tribal Print Design Over Clear Glass?
While a clear glass ash catcher is functional, a printed design like this tribal pattern lets you personalize your setup. The bold black and gold graphic makes your piece stand out and adds a custom touch. It's a style statement that goes well with the accessory's function. The design is applied to be durable, so you can enjoy a unique look without giving up the quality or performance of the borosilicate glass.
- The showerhead perc offers smooth hits while the print provides a unique style.
- Showerhead percs create many small bubbles to cool the smoke.
- This extra filtration helps remove impurities before they reach you.
- The tribal print is a durable graphic on high-quality borosilicate glass.

Will This Ash Catcher Fit My Bong? A 5-Point Checklist

- Clearance: Is there enough space around the joint so the ash catcher won't bump into the base of your bong?
- Bowl Fit: Do you have a 14mm male bowl to use with the top of this ash catcher?
- It's an essential upgrade for beaker bong owners who want cleaner, cooler sessions.
- Ideal for users who want to clean their main bong less often.
- Best for pipes that have a 14mm female joint angled at 45 degrees.

How To Use And Maintain
How Much Water Should You Put In This Ash Catcher?
The right water level is key for performance. Fill the ash catcher with just enough water to cover the slits of the showerhead percolator, usually about one-quarter full. Too little water won't filter well, while too much can cause splashback into your bowl or add extra drag to your pull. You can test it by adding water, attaching it, and taking a gentle pull without a lit bowl to check for splashing. Adjust as needed for the perfect balance.
How Do You Clean The Tribal Print Ash Catcher?
Cleaning is simple. For best results and to protect the print, use a solution of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Carefully pour the mix inside, plug the openings with your fingers or cleaning plugs, and shake gently for a minute or two. The salt acts as a soft scrubber to remove resin. Once clean, rinse it well with warm water until all the alcohol and residue are gone. Do not use a dishwasher or scrub the outside hard, as this can damage the tribal print.
