Ash Catchers & Chambers

Upgrade your setup with Bong Ash Catchers and glass chambers from Billy Mate.

An ash catcher is a glass attachment that sits between your bong and cone piece. Instead of ash, loose material and residue travelling directly into the main bong, the ash catcher provides an additional chamber designed to catch much of that debris first.

The result is a setup that can be easier to maintain, with less residue reaching the main water chamber and internal glass.

Billy Mate offers a range of designs including traditional water-filled ash catchers, dry ash catchers, percolator chambers and decorative glass attachments in different shapes and configurations.

A Bong Ash Catcher attaches to the joint of a compatible bong, with the cone piece fitting into the ash catcher instead of directly into the bong.

As material passes through the attachment, the chamber helps capture ash, particles and sticky residue before they enter the main bong.

Depending on the style, an ash catcher may also add another stage of water diffusion or percolation.

The main benefits include:

• Helps catch loose ash and debris
• Helps reduce residue entering the main bong
• Keeps bong water cleaner for longer
• Can make regular cleaning easier
• Adds another chamber to your setup
• Wet models can provide additional water diffusion
• Available in different joint sizes and styles
• Can change the look and functionality of your bong

For anyone who regularly cleans stubborn residue from a favourite piece, adding an ash catcher can be a very practical upgrade.

A traditional wet ash catcher is designed to hold a small amount of water.

Smoke first passes through the ash catcher before continuing into the main bong, creating an additional water chamber in the system.

Many wet ash catchers also incorporate a percolator, which breaks the flow into smaller bubbles as it passes through the water.

Depending on the particular design, this can provide:

• Additional water diffusion
• A different draw characteristic
• Extra cooling before smoke reaches the main chamber
• Ash and residue collection
• Added visual movement during use

Wet ash catchers are ideal for customers who want both ash collection and an additional filtration chamber.

Not every ash catcher needs water.

A dry ash catcher is specifically designed to catch ash and debris without adding another water-filled chamber.

Instead of bubbling smoke through water, the attachment creates a secondary glass area where heavier ash and particles can collect before reaching the bong.

Dry ash catchers are particularly useful when your main priority is keeping the bong cleaner without adding a large amount of extra resistance to the draw.

Benefits can include:

• Catches ash before it enters the bong
• Helps keep the main chamber cleaner
• No extra water required
• Usually less drag than a water-filled ash catcher
• Less added weight from water
• Simple setup
• Easy to empty and clean
• Preserves more of the original feel of the bong

For customers who do not want another bubbling chamber, a dry ash catcher can be the better choice.

The right option depends on what you want from your setup.

Choose a Wet Ash Catcher if you want:

• Additional water filtration
• Extra diffusion or percolation
• Another water chamber
• A more elaborate glass setup
• Ash collection plus added cooling

Choose a Dry Ash Catcher if you want:

• Ash and debris collection
• Less additional drag
• No extra water
• A lighter attachment
• A simple way to help keep your bong cleaner

Both styles have the same basic goal of stopping more unwanted material from reaching the main bong, but they achieve it differently.

Some Billy Mate chambers feature built-in percolators.

A perc introduces additional diffusion as smoke travels through the attachment. Different designs can produce different airflow and bubbling characteristics.

You may find chamber designs incorporating features such as:

• Tree-style percs
• Showerhead-style diffusion
• Inline diffusion
• Coloured glass percolators
• Multi-hole diffusion
• Decorative internal chambers

These attachments can also dramatically change the appearance of a bong, making them popular with customers who enjoy customising their glass setup.

This is probably the biggest reason to use one.

Ash catchers provide another place for ash, resin and debris to collect before reaching the main chamber.

Instead of cleaning the entire bong as frequently, you can remove and clean the smaller ash catcher separately when required.

It will not eliminate the need to clean your bong, but it can make maintaining the complete setup considerably easier.

Bongs with percolators, recyclers and complex internal chambers can be more difficult to clean than simple straight tubes.

Using an ash catcher can help reduce the amount of residue reaching those internal sections.

That makes ash catchers especially useful with more detailed glass pieces.

Ash catchers are also an easy way to change the appearance and function of a bong without replacing the whole piece.

Switch between a simple dry catcher and a larger percolator chamber depending on the session or setup you prefer.

Before buying a Bong Ash Catcher, check your bong's joint.

The important factors include:

Joint Size

Common glass joint sizes include:

14mm
19mm

The ash catcher connection must be compatible with your bong.

Joint Gender

Check whether the connection required is male or female.

Joint Angle

Ash catchers are available in different connection angles.

Depending on your bong, you may need a straight or angled attachment so the chamber sits correctly when installed.

Weight and Clearance

Larger ash catchers add additional weight to the bong joint.

Make sure your bong has a stable base and enough clearance for the attachment to sit correctly without touching the table or putting unnecessary pressure on the glass joint.

The Billy Mate range includes a variety of glass chamber designs, from simple compact catchers to larger decorative pieces with coloured internal percolators.

You may find:

• Dry ash catchers
• Wet ash catchers
• Percolator ash catchers
• Compact chambers
• Large glass chambers
• Coloured perc chambers
• Straight and angled connections
• Different joint sizes
• Billy Mate branded designs
• Specialty artwork and glow designs

This lets you choose an attachment based on both function and appearance.

An ash catcher does not replace regular bong cleaning.

What it can do is help stop as much ash and sticky residue from reaching the main chamber in the first place.

That means the smaller removable attachment takes much of the mess, while your main bong can stay cleaner between washes.

For a simple solution, choose a dry catcher.

For additional water diffusion, choose a wet or percolator chamber.

Catch the ash. Protect the glass. Keep your Billy cleaner.
