An ashcatcher is a glass or silicone attachment for water pipes (bongs) designed to keep them cleaner and enhance the smoking experience. It fits between the bowl and the water pipe and serves two main purposes:

1. Catching Ash and Debris: Prevents unwanted residue from entering the main chamber of the water pipe.
2. Additional Filtration: Many ashcatchers include percolators that further filter and cool the smoke for smoother hits.

Key Features of an Ashcatcher

1. Pre-Filtration

   • The ashcatcher acts as a first line of defense, catching ash, resin, and debris before it reaches the water pipe, reducing the frequency of cleaning your bong.

2. Enhanced Filtration

   • Many ashcatchers come equipped with built-in percolators, such as tree percs, showerhead percs, or honeycomb percs, for added diffusion and a cleaner, smoother hit.

3. Joint Size and Angle

   • Joint Sizes: Typically available in 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm to fit a variety of water pipes.
   • Joint Angles: Offered in 45° or 90° angles to match the design of your bong.

4. Material

   • Glass Ashcatchers: Durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean.
   • Silicone Ashcatchers: Flexible, shatterproof, and great for portability.

Benefits of Using an Ashcatcher

1. Keeps Your Bong Cleaner

   • Traps ash and debris, reducing the buildup in your bong and extending the time between cleanings.

2. Smoother Hits

   • Additional filtration from the ashcatcher cools the smoke, making each hit less harsh on your throat and lungs.

3. Customizable Setup

   • Available in various designs, percolator styles, and colors to match or enhance your water pipe setup.

4. Protects Your Bong

   • Acts as a buffer, reducing the risk of accidental damage to your bong during use.

Types of Ashcatchers

1. Basic Ashcatchers

   • Simple design with no percolation, effective for trapping debris.

2. Percolator Ashcatchers

   • Includes built-in percs such as:
     • Tree Percs: Multiple vertical tubes for efficient smoke diffusion.
     • Showerhead Percs: A disc with slits for smoother filtration.
     • Honeycomb Percs: A grid-like structure for maximum diffusion.

3. Recycler Ashcatchers

   • Features recycler functionality to keep water moving and improve cooling and filtration.

How to Choose the Right Ashcatcher

1. Joint Size and Angle

   • Ensure the ashcatcher matches your bong’s joint size (e.g., 14mm or 18mm) and angle (45° or 90°).

2. Percolation Style

   • For smoother hits, choose an ashcatcher with your preferred percolator type.

3. Material and Design

   • Select a durable material and a design that complements your water pipe.

4. Capacity

   • Larger ashcatchers can hold more debris and water but may add extra weight to your bong.
