Ash Catchers

The main function of an ashcatcher is to catch ash. Ashcatchers keep ash and weed residue out of your bong by attaching themselves to your bong externally. Think of them like a little mini bong fixed to your bong.

Ash Catchers do the work of accepting your bowl of weed, processing the smoke externally and passing it onward to your glass bong, while retaining the ashes and residue that otherwise would have passed into your bong.

Over the years ashcatchers have evolved into formidable pieces of kit. A lot of them have their own percolators and filtration devices. Buying a J Hook from tokintiger.com can give you the option of combining it with an ashcatcher to develop a customised bit of smoking kit. Tokin' Tiger stocks J Hooks in 2 sizes - The J Hook 19 mm Joint and the J Hook 14 mm Joint.

BEST FOR FLOWER: Ash catchers work best for flower. Using ash catchers for concentrate or extract is overkill and generally not recommended. 

 

JOINT SIZE: Make sure the joint size on your bong matches with the joint size on your ashcatcher. Avoid the use of adapters when using an ashcatcher as it may overload your bong joint and cause breakages. 

 

JOINT GENDER: If you have a bong with a male joint, then you need an ashcatcher with a female joint and the other way around. 

 

JOINT ANGLE: Water pipe joints are set at either a 90 degree or a 45 degree angle. Make sure you match the angle of your bong joint with the angle of your ashcatcher stem. A 45 degree angled bong joint must match a 45 degree ashcatcher stem. 

 

WEIGHT: Make sure the height of your ashcatcher is at maximum 30% of the height of your bong. So if your bong is 12” in height, your ashcatcher should not be more than 4” tall. This is a good rule of thumb to ensure that you are not overloading the joint on your bong, which will prevent breakage or topples.
