What is an Ash Catcher?
At Wild Tree Smoke, we believe in enhancing your smoking experience with the right accessories. An ash catcher is a valuable addition to any bong setup, designed to keep your bong cleaner and your hits smoother. Let’s explore what an ash catcher is and how it benefits your smoking sessions.
What is an Ash Catcher?
An ash catcher is a specialized attachment for a bong or water pipe. It is essentially a miniature water pipe that fits onto the joint of your bong. Its primary function is to trap ash, debris, and resin before they enter your bong's main chamber.
Key Features of an Ash Catcher
- Filtration: Many ash catchers come with built-in percolators. These add an extra level of filtration to the smoke, making each hit smoother and cleaner.
- Cleanliness: It keeps the main water chamber of your bong much cleaner by trapping the majority of the ash and tar.
- Ease of Maintenance: Cleaning a small ash catcher is significantly easier than cleaning an entire bong.
- Compatibility: Ash catchers are available in various sizes and joint angles to fit different bongs and water pipes.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Apart from functionality, ash catchers can add a stylish flair to your bong.
How to Choose an Ash Catcher
- Joint Size and Angle: Ensure the ash catcher fits the joint size (usually 14mm or 18mm) and angle (45° or 90°) of your bong.
- Weight and Balance: Consider the weight of the ash catcher as a heavy one might tip over a lightweight bong.
- Type of Percolator: Different percolators offer different levels of filtration and resistance. Choose one that aligns with your preferred draw resistance.
Using an Ash Catcher
- Fill with Water: Add enough water to submerge any percolators.
- Attach to Bong: Securely attach it to your bong’s joint.
- Insert Bowl: Place your bowl with the material into the ash catcher.
- Enjoy Your Session: Light up and enjoy a cleaner, smoother hit.
An ash catcher is a simple yet effective accessory that can significantly upgrade your smoking experience. It keeps your bong cleaner and enhances the quality of your hits. Check out the variety of ash catchers at Wild Tree Smoke to find the perfect match for your bong!
