Ash catcher

Ash catchers are accessories used in between a water pipe's bowl and main chamber to collect ash and debris. An ash catcher fits onto the downstem and acts as a small secondary chamber that catches ash from the cannabis before it enters the main bong. This keeps the bong's water and interior clean for longer since the ash collects in the catcher instead. Some ash catchers incorporate water filtration and percolation for an added smoothing effect on each hit. Since the ash catcher takes most of the byproduct particulates, the main smoking apparatus stays cleaner and requires less frequent maintenance. Cleaning out an ash catcher is much simpler and faster compared to cleaning intricate bong interiors. Ash catchers help optimize airflow and cooling while reducing the hassle of cleaning your main water pipe.
