Ash Catchers are TRASH!!

I've used many different ash catchers over the last several years and I've also seen many videos of other people using them. My main conclusion is the majority of ash catchers are trash. Trashcatchers.

Being a stoner in a small town full of stoners, I've never heard of anyone not fully snapping the contents of the bowl/tube into the bong. Like everyone does it and you have to change the water after a few hits because all the ash. That's actually the reason I bought my catcher, to keep my bong free of all the chunks of black

[@ner__0365]

it takes some finesse

[@9deadroc]

I used to snap when I first started. But over time for my own cleaning sake, I just relax my pull at the end instead of turning it up and it milks to white ash

[@snowfall1771]

Ya I pull it thru …. With hemp wick or lighter

[@ras_krystafari3333]

[@Gutenbergurbina]

A ash catcher is a really nice way to add a different rip when your pulling because if you have a straight up normal stem then it’s real choppy but a ash catcher makes the hits smoother and it makes my bong look like a machine gun lol

[@currenolan3339]

Agreed

[@hamsamich5614]

Ash catchers are too tier

[@muffinman3052]

The way to go is a dry catch or if you like having a perc get one with a splash guard as you mentioned. Pulsar has a pretty good one, with the water level you need for adequate percolation it's basically impossible for any of it to splash over

[@evanmiller2241]

pulsar dry catch is the best

[@mikep6115]

The pulsar looks like a budget version of the MAV Glass dry catch.

I really like how you and Moist critical both advertise your twitch so nonchalantly I love how you guys put your twitch streams in the middle of your videos casually it's a very beautiful tactic. You have an amazing channel here my guy!

[@lettybastien4624]

The best glass is also the easiest to clean. Honeycombs with large holes are easier to hit. Use salt and rubbing alcohol to clean daily, then use the dirty alcohol to soak bowls.

[@BaconMoney420]

Facts. The only ones I actually use are dry ash catchers, ones without a perc. Since I snap my bowls, it's just practical for me to use a dry ash catcher in order to keep my bongs cleaner and make cleaning them easier. It's also nice that dry ash catchers don't ruin or change the experience of the bong as much as regular ash catchers do.

[@smashy152]

with the 45deg ashcatcher you can twist it back towards you while the beaker is at a angle and pretty much get the ash catcher level

[@kylechristian8506]

If this works I’ll be dammed when I get my peice.

[@VIISkies]

The problem with dry ash catchers is even they are poorly designed. Most dry catches have the arm leading to your bong too close to where the bowl sits, so you have horizontal airflow right next to ash coming down, which can lead to ash and excessive resin getting sucked into your piece. My dry catch gets dark brown from resin after only a few days of regular use. I've been heavily considering having someone commission a design I've had in mind that separates the two points of airflow, to where ash goes straight into the water and only smoke gets pulled out.

[@Theamericanglassguy]

Look into Solid state concepts they have the best design. No ash ever and perfect airflow.

[@chilledm.136]

Have you seen the grav ash catcher?

[@dragonslayerDC]

Ash catchers are super necessary for complex pieces tbat you DONT want to get dirty at all because of the complexity of the piece and or the delicacy of the piece. Long story short get a simlle beaker bong!

[@GlassTopRX7]

I only use the reclaimer type with the removable plugs. These days it's about 95% hash so they really come into their own. Don't typical smoke it, it's just easy to clean, freeze the plug and pop out the oil puck. Legal growing turned me into a hash snob.

[@SanchitC]

I just noticed that a lot of your videos are 4:20 or 7:10 long. Nice!

[@kylechristian8506]

Little Easter egg

[@bananajoe4203]

The ultimate test is being able to rip straight out of the ash catcher. No water in your mouth=good ash catcher. I recommend a recycling ash catcher

[@camsellstoys]

My girl broke my bong all I have left is my bowl nothing else all my accessories are shattered like my heart that’s the only way a girl can break your heart without breaking up with you

[@shmokinbuds]

My favorite ash catcher ever was a matrix with a recycler where it attached to the bong, so it did a GREAT job at keeping the water in while getting good percolation. Can’t find em anymore tho except the ones that are super expensive and I ball on a budget

[@iliaperez4734]

Tsk tsk it’s an investment bro

[@EroticMotionShufflin]

I have one like this man when it breaks ima be so sad cusni cant find anotherZ should’ve bought two when i got mine

[@RandoManFPV]

@@iliaperez4734 I always stay under 200$ on my pieces cuz I like to trade or sell them off later just to make room for new pieces. I've probably had 15bongs this year...I ain't got room for all that hahaha 😆

[@JJ-ju6ky]

Diamond glass makes them. They run about $50-$60. They have the matrix perc, showerhead and so on. It's called a recycler ash catcher and I swear by them

[@JJ-ju6ky]

I use a recycler ash catcher (Diamond Glass) and it is THE BEST ash catcher I've used. You can fill it well above the perc and get the filtration, and it doesn't shoot water and ash into the bong.

[@710Chri]

I use a left coast ash catcher, it’s tall so it holds most of the ash. Then I have a 3d printed dry ash catcher. It’s light and saves minutes a day of cleaning my bong

[@Thaimushroomdaddy]

Best ash catcher by far that I’ve tried (read: does not regurgitate into the main water pipe champer): a RECYCLING ASH CATCHER! It totally prevents solids escaping if you get your water levels dialed in

[@JJ-ju6ky]

I agree. I use a Diamond Glass recycler ash catcher and love it.

[@rayjenkins9669]

Gotta get the ash catchers without bubblers😂😂😂😂 no percolators..just straight beaker and water, catches it just fine. Plain and simple is the way to go.💯

[@austinkokeok7323]

The 45 degree catcher can be twisted side ways so the beaker can be tilted up just twist the ash catcher and it’ll work

[@reid6186]

I love ash catchers for 200-400$+ bings you just need to find good ones But if it’s a cheaper bong screw it

[@C18H19NaO5S]

Dry ash catchers changed my mind. HIGHLY recommend. I was impressed.

[@badsneeze]

I have a TAG double honeycomb ashcatcher that is designed very well and has a recycling function. $160 but it matches my piece and works perfectly

[@LeGiT_AuTiSm]

Can confirm the cracked glass honeycombs get clogged super quick and are hard to clean. Also make much more bubbles then normal honeycombs so the water will 100% just bubble and go into the bong until it can’t perc or it’s clogged lol

[@BallsMcNaughty]

Fun video idea: breaking glass pieces that suck so bad you don't use them or feel any connection to them, but use a cool hammer or slow mo effect or something

[@Pokerband]

Try a Swiss wheel ash catcher, good percolation, good chug, easy to clean.

[@andrguts52]

I have a freeze pipe ashcatcher that seems to work pretty good it seems to percolate every time

[@owenhall98]

Dry. Catch. Research u can tell buddys never seen a sov

[@SNOwyte]

Wheres ur sovereign glass piece at

[@wyatthoyem4742]

Why don’t you just not put any water in the double disc percs? The ash ain’t getting through both the percs it won’t spill water into anything and it shouldn’t make you have to work any harder to draw more air and mess up your bongs percs right?

[@eileenrover775]

Sea salt with 90 percent rubbing achoal to clean your pieces works so well 👍happy 420 time folks

[@kmusa9498]

I have that blue double honeycomb. Works great. It catches ash ,percolates and keeps my piece clean. Idk what he’s talking about. And I have it on a double 8arm beaker. Recently added a sipipes carbon filter. Best smoke ever when using the herb iron. Never tasted a cleaner smoke from flower.

[@melo15813]

I use a ash catcher and a bowl filter screen so I can get the extra filtration of the ash catcher for a smoother hit but it's also easy to clean. I've had some ash catcher that gave me some super smooth hits.

[@jimsmith3715]

Ash catchers that have percolators that run into your piece when you fill over them are called dry ash catchers and are intended for no or very low water levels just to extinguish the ash. It's not designed as a filter even though it looks like one Any company not mentioning this on their product page is very dodgy. I think they are made just for looks/just to trick people. I think anyone smoking should know what style of ash catcher they need for their piece but I think they are a must have for any bong user. Catches so much tar, tested with my filters. Keeps the bong cleaner

[@jaytxa2791]

The TAG dry diffuse is the greatest one I’ve used and I really like the look

[@jaytxa2791]

[@kiezersosay49]

Stemless ash catchers are nice...otherwise its cool to get a J-hook and turn your ACs into bubblers.

[@PanTheGoatMan]

That’s why I use dry catchers. I put just a small amount of water in to cover the bottom, it helps catch ash instead of it blowing around inside and whipping through and into the piece. I have a cheap knock off similar to the Toro ratchet dry catch. Shooters. The Cave 🔥

[@orber7057]

whats funny is rawog made a video about how he loves ash catchers. the duality of men

[@kmusa9498]

How does a perc not work??? Never seen that happen before. That would mean you’re not getting any air flow at all. In that case it’s not the perc or the ash catcher

I use an ash catcher with both my bongs, I've found they have a balancing point where the water doesn't go through but it bubbles nicely. Even if they didn't have a perc, I'd still run them because I like to snap my bowls.

[@outtadisworld8879]

1:47 I have a tall beaker I think it’s a 18 inch from top to bottom and when I use a ash catcher with a percolator with a 45 degree I don’t really need to tip it cause i can fill it pretty high up cause even if I pull it hard It usually don’t touch my lips

[@ProfessorPalm]

When u rocking Swiss percs and illadelphs and sovs. Ashcatchers save u from the nightmare of cleaning espically a Swiss

[@michaelclements609]

Honestly it comes down to the glass blower. High end ash catcher like toro don’t affect airflow, if anything make it better. Some glass blowers do understand the science to making them nice and effective without making them ass. From my experience toro is the only one that has made a perfect ash catcher. It just cost damn near 300 bucks

[@moist-croissant6637]

i recently got a recycler ash catcher! I can take bowls till it’s black and my water will be crystal clear. INVEST IN ONE

[@idkwhatimdoing86]

Yeah I got a few opinions on ash catchers for sure. Some it's necessary for people. But I do believe it doesn't get rid of the cleaning. If anything now you gotta clean the ash catcher AND the peice.

[@cewpins]

Exactly. It "can" keep your bong cleaner but you still gotta clean it

[@pressure-716-2]

The point isn’t to eliminate cleaning your piece it’s to make it easier to clean because there’s less gunk on it also slows down staining

Got an ash catcher with my freeze pipe recycler piece. It out weighs the base and pulled the bong over and broke both of them!

[@danielgonzalez-yp7hi]

It’s best to have several bongs & ash catchers , that way you can rotate & see what works best for each . Straight tubes with heavy base would stop it falling over , matched with a dry ash catcher ( still add water ) . I wouldn’t use an ash catcher with a beaker bong . 💪🇦🇺💨

I had never heard of an ash catcher until thus week, on one of your videos lol. To be fair though I also had bo idea percs in a bong or disc's was a thing either. I smoked close to 15 years ago, stopped and now I've been smoking again for about a year for pain and a little enjoyment. Back when i was first smoking a bong was a bong. Old school simple. I had bo idea so much tech has gone into them to make them not hit like trash. Anticipating my new double perc bong will be in the mail tomorrow. Excited about that.

@cewpins... how do you feel about reclaim catchers ? I have one but dont use it anymore, it makes the rig require too much air flow for a nice dab. I could see if someone is on a budget or needed to make a slab last. I usually take my reclaim and make edibles.
