Hello, just wondering if I should get one or not. Just looking to keep my new bong clean would a ash catcher do the job ?
Youll still get shit in the bong and in my opinion bongs taste like shit after one use no matter what you do. Ive owned many and used ash catchers. The best thing is to just clean it regularly. Look into 710 cleaner. Or other variants of head glass cleaner. They work amazingly. Plenty of you tubes videos on them.
Ash catchers filter the smoke and collect burnt material, but they're a pain to clean. It's really a preference thing.
So would you say it’s worth it? If I want to keep my piece cleaner for longer periods and I suppose I would want another filter since during the day the water gets warmer in my bong and I can just keep putting the ash catcher inside my mini fridge to keep the water cold. Here’s a pic of the one I would get nothing special.
I'd prefer to use one personally, due to the fact I've used them before and the hits cleaner, and the one you just posted looks easy to clean etc. If you're planning on using it with that new bong I say definitely get it because the perc might get bit dirty without it.
Seriously, you guys just gotta pick up a bottle of bong cleaner and clean them bitches daily. Its a 2 minute thing once you get used to it and start doing it regularly. 710 cleaner works great.
I want to get one because I have a natural downstem going into dual matrix percs and weed can get sucked in and get stuck in the percs. I've used glass filters but they clog easily. An ash catcher would 100% prevent any ash fucking with the perc. If you're rocking a beaker or something simple you'll still get the benefits of one but the increased draw could be annoying I probably wouldn't bother on most simple pieces.
Yes I like them and prefer them because, a. They smooth the hit b. It keeps the bong cleaner. And depending on the bong, cleaning the ash catcher is easier and especially with the one you show
Thanks man, looking to keep it semi cleaner for longer and to also get a smoother hit in the process.
I don't smoke with ash catchers because it's hard enough to keep a straight bong clean, let alone something with a fixed diffuser. Bongs are coo...
Very well, however depends on the type of bong. Also a regular size ash catcher that can fit in your hands is easy to shake and clean. Straight tubes, no need to use ash catcher. An ash catcher may be harder to clean than a straight tube Beaker bongs can use an ash catcher if you like the extra perc and less cleaning the main piece. Perc bongs and nice bongs definitely use ash catchers. YES they help a lot! It’s so easy to clean since they are relatively small compared to a regular bong. Your bong will be cleaner and you will be cleaning twice as less often at the expense of cleaning a smaller piece regularly. Definitely worth it imo Just my 2 cents’
They aren't really hard to clean at all. I fill mine with hot water and blow the water out through the opening. I use Mean Green which is $5 a gallon at Walmart and gets it sparkling clean. I fill it up and turn it upside down and set it in a bowl. By setting it upside down, it gets the top of it clean. The mean green soaks anything off. The stuff is great. it's just a degreaser/soap.
I been soaking bong overnight for 16 hours with 710 cleaner it won’t clean . Should had bought a new ash catcher after my last one Broke what’ a fail …
They're awesome I just got one a while ago and it's been great. Keeps material out of the percs so it's kind of a must for a bong where that's a possibility imo but it also slows down the draw of the matrix percs which is actually an improvement, it makes it pretty much impossible to pull to hard and have the water kiss you. One thing I will say is they get dirty very fast so you need to change water very often and clean often. Basically they're higher patience in a sense because you will need to clean it often but that's easier than cleaning your bong and it should reduce how often you need to clean your bong a bit too.
