Ash Catcher

Buy Ash Catchers Online in Canada

An ash catcher is one of the best upgrades you can make to a bong. It keeps your water cleaner for longer, cuts down on scrubbing and can make every hit a little smoother. We carry 14mm ash catchers in 45 and 90 degree angles from Red Eye Tek, Gear Premium, Red Eye Glass and Grav, all shipped from inside Canada.

What Is an Ash Catcher?

An ash catcher is a small glass chamber that fits between your bowl and your bong. Your bowl goes into the ash catcher, and the ash catcher goes into your bong. As you pull, ash, small bits of herb and resin get trapped in the ash catcher instead of falling into your main chamber.

Why Use an Ash Catcher?

Cleaner bong water. Your main chamber stays clearer, so it tastes better and you change the water less.

Less cleaning. Most of the gunk ends up in a small piece that’s quick to rinse, instead of your whole bong.

Smoother hits. Ash catchers with percs add another round of filtration and cooling before the smoke reaches your bong.

Protects your glass. Keeping resin out of your main piece helps it look new for longer.

Types of Ash Catchers

Percolator Ash Catchers

Most ash catchers include a perc. Tree percs split smoke through multiple arms, turbine percs spin it, and honeycomb and UFO percs break it into fine bubbles. Recycler ash catchers keep water moving in a loop for extra smoothness.

Dry Ash Catchers

Dry ash catchers don’t use water. They trap ash and debris without adding much drag, which makes them a good choice if you like an easy, open pull.

Stemless Ash Catchers

Stemless designs, like the Grav Phoenix, skip the internal downstem. The result is a more open draw and an easier piece to clean.

How to Choose an Ash Catcher

Joint size: Every ash catcher we carry has a 14mm joint, which fits most bongs. If your bong has a 19mm joint, a bong adapter will let you use one.

Angle: If your bong’s joint angles upward, choose 45 degrees. If it sticks straight out sideways, choose 90 degrees. The goal is for your bowl to sit upright.

Perc or dry: Go with a perc for the smoothest hits. Choose dry if you want less drag.

Size and weight: A large perc ash catcher adds weight to the side of your bong. On small or light bongs, a compact ash catcher keeps things balanced.

Using and Cleaning Your Ash Catcher

For perc ash catchers, add just enough water to cover the perc. Too much water can splash into your bowl. Change the water every session or two, and soak the ash catcher in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt or a bong cleaner when it starts to look cloudy.

FAQs

Do I need an ash catcher for my bong?

You don’t need one, but it’s worth it if you smoke often. It keeps your bong cleaner, extends the life of your water and can make your hits smoother.

Do I still need a bowl with an ash catcher?

Yes. The ash catcher sits between your bong and your bowl, so you’ll need a bowl that fits the ash catcher’s joint. Most of ours take a standard 14mm male bowl.

Should I get a 45 or 90 degree ash catcher?

Match it to your bong’s joint. Choose 45 degrees for joints that angle up and 90 degrees for joints that stick straight out. Your bowl should sit upright once everything is connected.

Do ash catchers make hits harder to pull?

Perc ash catchers add a little drag, especially those with multiple percs. If you want an easier pull, go with a dry or stemless ash catcher.

Can I use a 14mm ash catcher on a 19mm bong?

Yes, with a 19mm to 14mm adapter. Just make sure the extra height doesn’t make your bong top-heavy.

Do you ship ash catchers across Canada?

Yes. Every order ships in discreet packaging from one of our Canadian warehouses.
