How Ash Catchers Work
Without an ash catcher, burnt debris travels directly into your bong’s water chamber. Over time, this buildup clouds your water, clogs your downstem, and affects flavor.
Ash catchers help trap ash and resin before it reaches your main piece, helping keep your setup cleaner and easier to maintain between sessions.
Many ash catchers also include built-in percolators that add another layer of filtration for smoother airflow and cooler hits.
Choosing the Right Ash Catcher
When choosing an ash catcher, it’s important to match the correct joint size and angle to your setup. Most standard glass bongs use either 14mm or 18mm joints with 45 degree or 90 degree angles.
Dry ash catchers focus on trapping debris with minimal drag, while water-filtered ash catchers add additional cooling and diffusion. The right choice depends on your preferred airflow and setup style.
Pair Your Setup
Ash catchers pair well with setups using quartz bangers, carb caps, bowl slides, and glass bongs. Many customers also combine ash catchers with recycler rigs, mini rigs, and percolator bongs for additional filtration and smoother sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ash Catchers
1. What sizes of ash catchers work with Encore glass bongs?
Most of our ash catchers come in 14mm and 18mm, so they fit popular styles like classic beaker bongs, classic straight tubes, heavy pounders, and even many percolator setups. Just match the joint size and angle—easy upgrade
2. Do ash catchers actually make hits smoother?
Yes. Because the ash catcher adds a bit of water and diffusion before the smoke reaches your glass bong, you get a cleaner and noticeably smoother inhale—especially on pieces with no built-in percolator
4. Do ash catchers help protect heavy pounder beaker bongs?
Definitely. Heavy pounder and glass beaker bong joints take a lot of stress over time. An ash catcher acts like a buffer—reducing heat shock, catching debris, and keeping your main joint cleaner and safer
5. Can I use an ash catcher with a quartz banger and carb cap?
Absolutely. Many dab setups work great with an ash catcher when paired with quartz bangers and carb caps, especially if you want extra cooling before the vapor enters your piece
6. How hard is it to clean an ash catcher?
Most clean out in under a minute. Since it catches all the grime before your main piece, you end up scrubbing your glass bong way less often — especially percs, downstems, and the neck area
