I bought the Mad Scientist with the ash catcher and percolater. I'm having a hard time figuring out the water levels. I am not a noob but as far as glass goes I am Should the ash catcher be full of water also. Every time I hit it the water goes into the main bubble. Also water ends up in the perculater chamber. Is this supposed to happen?
Looks like an inline ashcatcher right? I cant really tell from the pictures but yeah you put water in and fill it to where the diffuser holes are just barely covered with water.
I like the water to be about 1/4-1/2 inch above the slits (or holes). To be honest, this overflowing or splashback you are getting is very common in cheap ashcatchers. Its a design flaw really. Inlines are also notorious for this as well.
you have to have to water levels in inlines pretty low. barely over the slits, 1/8 of an inch and that crap will glarp you. Yes you fill the perc chamber with a little wter too, trust me and just barely fill it above the holes or you will get glarp (bong water sucked up the tube)
Looks like you've also got a lot of water in your base of your bong, rule of thumb for all bongs: just have the water barely past the holes, otherwise you end up with lots of drag, a shitty clear and most likely, a mouth full of waterl
ya I have been experimenting on levels. shpont I be pulling the whole ash catcher to clear or just the bowl stem?
just the bowl. I have been thinking about posting a water level fill guide in the newbie section. I think i can post a pic for almost every diffusion method lol.
