Ash catchers from AFM Glass, Illadelph, HiSi, Waxmaid, Grav, Mobius, Cookies SF, MJ Arsenal, and Human Grade — pre-filtration attachments that trap ash, resin, and particulates before they reach the main bong chamber. Available in 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm joint sizes, male and female, at 45° and 90° angles. Stocked at Angies Boutique, 838 N Broadway in Los Angeles.
An ash catcher is a glass attachment that sits between the bowl and the main chamber of a bong or dab rig. Its job is pre-filtration — trap the ash, resin, and particulates that would otherwise enter and dirty the main piece. The result is two-fold: cleaner hits in the moment, and a main piece that stays cleaner for longer, dramatically reducing the frequency of full bong cleanings. Most ash catchers also add a second percolation stage, smoothing the smoke before it enters the primary water chamber.
Joint geometry matters more than anything else when picking an ash catcher. The piece needs to match the bong's joint size (10mm, 14mm, 18mm), gender (male attaches to a female bong joint; female attaches to a male bong joint), and angle (90° for straight tubes, 45° for beaker bongs and angled-neck pieces). The AFM lineup at Angies Boutique covers every combination, with the AFM Showerhead Ashcatcher 14mm Male 90° as the most-asked configuration. For premium scientific glass, Illadelph and HiSi are the lineup leaders.
Compare ash catchers against Bongs for the main pieces they attach to, against Bowls & Slides for the bowl that sits on top of the ash catcher, or against Cleaning Supplies for ongoing maintenance.
The ash catcher collection sorts by percolator style. Showerhead percs diffuse smoke through a multi-hole disc — the AFM Showerhead Ashcatcher in 14mm Male 45° and 90° and 18mm Male 90° configurations is the most common pick. Tree percs use multiple arms for maximum diffusion — AFM Tree Ashcatcher in 14mm Male 45° and 90° and 18mm Male 90°. Honeycomb percs use a perforated disc for even, low-drag diffusion — AFM Honeycomb 14mm Male 90°. Hammerhead and dry catchers — AFM Hammerhead Ashcatcher 14mm Male 45° / 14mm Male 90° / 18mm Male 90°, AFM Full Color Dry Catcher 90° — focus on ash trapping without additional water. Scientific premium: Illadelph 14mm 45° / 90° pieces, HiSi 14mm 45°, Mobius. Silicone hybrid: Waxmaid silicone-glass ash catchers add drop resistance.
Three picks cover the configurations most buyers ask for. The AFM Showerhead Ashcatcher 14mm Male 90° is the standard daily-driver pick — the most common joint configuration, showerhead diffusion, clean borosilicate. The Grav Phoenix 5.5" Ash Catcher 14mm 90° is the mid-tier scientific pick — Grav's percolator design in a compact, easy-to-clean form. For heady protection, the Cookies C Bite Ash Catcher 14mm Male 90° brings a 3-hole diffuser in the Cookies aesthetic.

Ash catchers must match the bong's exact joint size (10mm, 14mm, or 18mm), gender (male or female), and angle (45° or 90°). A mismatched ash catcher will not seal — verify all three specs before ordering. Ash catchers add height to the bong; an oversized ash catcher on a tall straight tube can create top-heavy instability. Plan to clean the ash catcher more often than the main bong — daily for heavy users — using Formula 420 or Grunge Off from the Cleaning Supplies collection.
Start with the AFM Showerhead Ashcatcher 14mm Male 90° as the standard pick, read the iso-cleaning guide for ongoing maintenance, and check Bongs to match the ash catcher to a main piece.
