Dry Ash Catchers

What is a dry ash catcher?

Dry ash catchers are a device that simply traps the majority of the ash before it enters the bong and this will keep your bong and water cleaner for longer. Dry ash catchers are not actually dry, you place water in them and this is where the ash will get caught instead of entering your bong. Dry ash catchers do not add any extra diffusion to the smoke although the major upside to using them is they do not add any extra draw resistance to your bong so they will not affect the function of your percolators. They are called dry ash catchers as the smoke never passes through the water.

Dry Ash Catchers FAQ

Should I put water in a dry ash catcher?

Yes, typically dry ash catchers have a small amount of water to the main body and this is what will stop the ash from entering your bong. The water level will depend on the model of dry ash catcher you are using and is something you will be able to determine after a few uses of your new ash catcher.

How do you clean a dry ash catcher?

Cleaning a dry ash catcher is the same as any other glass smoking accessory; you can either use a bong cleaning solution or an agent such as isopropyl alcohol. The benefit of using the dry ash catcher is your main bong will stay cleaner for longer and the ash catcher can easily be removed for a quick rinse or a deep clean.
