Extra cleanliness without extra water | Billy Mate 14mm 45° Male Dry Ash-Catcher

Keep ash and loose debris out of your water pipe with the Billy Mate Dry Ash Catcher 14mm.

Made from premium borosilicate glass, this compact attachment sits between your cone piece or banger and your water pipe. Instead of adding another water chamber, the dry ash catcher uses an empty glass chamber to collect ash and debris before it reaches the main bong.

The result is a cleaner setup with less mess entering your water and glass chamber, without the additional water, weight and resistance of a traditional wet ash catcher.

Why Use a Dry Ash Catcher?

Every time ash, burnt material and small particles fall through your cone piece, they can end up inside your bong.

The Billy Mate Dry Ash Catcher provides an extra chamber for much of that debris to fall into first.

This can mean:

• Less ash entering your bong water
• Less debris collecting inside your main glass chamber
• Easier everyday bong maintenance
• Less frequent deep cleaning of your main bong
• A cleaner-looking setup
• Easier removal of collected ash
• Minimal additional drag compared with many water-filled ash catchers
• No additional water chamber to fill or empty

Simply remove the ash catcher when required, empty it and clean it separately.

Although they look similar, a dry ash catcher and wet ash catcher work differently.

Dry Ash Catcher

A dry ash catcher is designed to be used without water.

Ash and debris travel into the catcher and settle inside the glass chamber before they can enter your bong.

Benefits of a dry ash catcher:

• Helps catch ash and loose debris
• Keeps your bong cleaner for longer
• Does not require additional water
• Usually creates less airflow resistance
• Lighter than a water-filled ash catcher
• Less chance of water spilling into your bong
• Quick to empty
• Simple to clean
• Keeps your original bong water level and filtration setup largely unchanged

For people who mainly want to keep their bong cleaner, a dry ash catcher is often the simpler option.

Wet Ash Catcher

A wet ash catcher contains a small amount of water, usually combined with a perc or diffuser.

Smoke passes through this additional water chamber before continuing into the main bong.

Benefits of a wet ash catcher:

• Catches ash and debris
• Adds another stage of water filtration
• Can provide additional smoke cooling
• Can add extra diffusion depending on the perc design

The trade-off is that a wet ash catcher can add more drag, more weight and more cleaning to the setup. Water levels also need to be maintained correctly.

Which One Should You Choose?

If your main goal is keeping ash and debris out of your bong without dramatically changing the draw, choose a dry ash catcher.

If you want another water filtration and diffusion stage and do not mind some additional resistance and maintenance, a wet ash catcher may be more suitable.

For a simple everyday setup, the Billy Mate Dry Ash Catcher gives you the benefits of an extra debris-catching chamber without turning your bong into a complicated plumbing project.

Brand: Billy Mate
Product: Dry Ash Catcher
Material: Premium borosilicate glass
Joint Size: 14mm frosted glass connections
Joint Angle: 45° male joint
Type: Dry, no water required
Compatibility: Suitable for compatible 14mm water pipes, herb bowls and bangers
Purpose: Helps prevent ash and debris from entering the main water pipe

Attach the 45° male joint of the dry ash catcher to a compatible 14mm water pipe.

Fit your compatible cone piece or banger into the upper joint.

Use the ash catcher dry, without adding water. As debris falls through, it collects inside the ash catcher instead of travelling directly into your bong.

When debris begins to build up, remove the ash catcher, empty it and clean as required.

Billy's Tip
