Ash Catchers
Curated by the Angies Boutique buyers. Ash catchers that keep your bong cleaner: tree, hammerhead, showerhead, mushroom, recycler and disc percs from AFM, Human Grade, GRAV, Illadelph and Cookies, in 14mm and 18mm at 45° and 90°.
Ash Catchers for Bongs: 14mm & 18mm, 45° & 90°
An ash catcher sits between your bowl and your bong. Smoke passes through its own small water chamber or perc first, so ash and resin get trapped there instead of in your main piece. That means less cleaning, cleaner-tasting water and an extra stage of filtration for smoother hits. Swapping out a dirty ash catcher is much easier than scrubbing a full bong.
- Percs: tree, hammerhead, showerhead, mushroom, recycler and disc
- Joints: 14mm and 18mm, at 45° and 90°
- Brands: AFM, Human Grade, GRAV, Illadelph, Cookies
How to choose an ash catcher that fits
| Check | What to match |
|---|---|
| Joint size | Your bong's joint: 14mm (most common) or 18mm |
| Angle | Match the angle of your bong's joint, 45° or 90°, so the ash catcher and bowl sit upright |
| Bowl end | Make sure your bowl fits the ash catcher's top joint, or choose one that includes a bowl |
| Size and weight | Bigger ash catchers add filtration but also weight; match it to a bong with a stable base |
Call (213) 680-0080 if you want help matching one to your bong.

Using and cleaning an ash catcher
- Add just enough water to cover the perc slits; too much can splash into the bowl.
- Change the water every session or two. It is the dirtiest water in your setup.
- Soak in isopropyl alcohol with fine salt, shake, and rinse with warm water. Plug the joints to shake without spilling. See Cleaning Supplies.
Pair with Bowls & Slides and Downstems, or browse Water Pipes & Bongs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ash Catchers
An ash catcher sits between your bowl and your bong. Smoke passes through its own small water chamber or perc first, trapping ash and resin so your main bong stays cleaner and hits get an extra stage of filtration.
Match your bong's joint size (14mm or 18mm) and its joint angle (45 or 90 degrees), and make sure your bowl fits the ash catcher's top joint. Call (213) 680-0080 if you are not sure.
Tree percs split smoke through several arms, showerhead percs push it through a slitted base, and recycler ash catchers keep water moving through a chamber. All add filtration; pick the style you like.
Some do. The Human Grade Standard 14mm includes a bowl and the GRAV Phoenix comes with a GRAV funnel bowl. Others need a matching male bowl; see Bowls and Slides.
Larger ash catchers add weight. Pair bigger ones with bongs that have a wide, stable base, or choose a compact style.
Ash catchers are made for flower in bongs. For concentrates, a reclaim catcher is the right tool instead.
