2.5″ Reclaim Catcher

The 2.5" Glass Reclaim Catcher sits between your banger and your rig to capture runoff concentrate before it gunks up your water. Built for dabbers who hate watching good product disappear into their downstem, this compact glass attachment comes with a silicone puck for easy collection and storage. Available in seven joint configurations covering 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm setups in both 45° and 90° angles.

Why use a reclaim catcher

  • Save what you paid for — reclaim still has potency, and this catches it instead of letting it coat your rig's interior
  • Keep your rig cleaner longer — less buildup in your water chamber means fewer deep cleaning sessions
  • Silicone puck included — pop it off, scrape out your reclaim, and store it for later use
  • Compact 2.5 inch (64mm) profile — adds minimal height to your setup without making it top-heavy
  • Clear glass construction — see exactly how much you've collected so you know when to harvest
  • Seven joint options — fits most common rig configurations without adapters

How it works

Reclaim catchers use simple physics. When you take a dab, some vaporized concentrate condenses before it reaches your water. Without a catcher, that sticky residue coats your downstem and percs, eventually affecting airflow and flavor. With a reclaim catcher installed, that runoff collects in the glass chamber instead.

The attachment sits at a drop-down angle from your rig's joint, creating a collection point. As you dab normally, reclaim accumulates in the chamber. When you've built up enough, detach the silicone puck from the bottom, warm it gently, and scrape out your collected concentrate. Some dabbers re-dab their reclaim, others use it for edibles or tinctures since the concentrate has already been decarboxylated through the heating process.

Installation takes seconds — just insert the reclaim catcher into your rig's joint, then attach your quartz banger to the catcher's top joint. The glass-on-glass connections stay secure during sessions while still allowing easy disassembly for cleaning.

Joint configuration guide

Picking the right joint size and angle matters. The first number (10, 14, or 18) refers to millimeter sizing — measure your rig's joint or check your original purchase info. Male joints insert into female joints, so if your rig has a female joint, you need a male reclaim catcher (and vice versa for the 18F option).

The angle (45° or 90°) should match your rig's existing joint angle. Most traditional beaker-style rigs use 45° joints, while many smaller dab rigs use 90° joints that come straight up. Using the wrong angle means your banger will stick out at an awkward position, making heating and carb cap use uncomfortable.

Best for

Daily dabbers who go through enough concentrate to notice the waste. If you're only taking occasional dabs, you might not accumulate much reclaim before your next deep clean anyway. But if you're running multiple sessions daily, a reclaim catcher pays for itself in recovered product within a few weeks. Also solid for anyone who hates scraping out clogged downstems — this keeps the mess contained to one easily accessible spot.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which joint size I need?

Measure the opening of your rig's joint. A dime fits almost perfectly in a 14mm joint — if it's too big, you probably have 10mm; if there's room to spare, likely 18mm. Or check the original product listing for your rig. The joint gender is opposite — if your rig has a female joint, select a male reclaim catcher.

Does the reclaim catcher affect airflow or flavor?

Minimally. The pathway adds slight distance for vapor to travel, which can mean marginally cooler hits. Some dabbers actually prefer this. Flavor impact is negligible on a clean catcher — though if you let reclaim build up excessively, older residue can affect taste.

How often should I empty the reclaim?

Depends on your usage. Heavy daily dabbers might harvest weekly; occasional users could go a month or more. Empty it before the chamber gets so full that reclaim reaches the joints — that makes removal messier and can gum up the connections.

Can I use the collected reclaim?

Yes. Reclaim has lower potency than fresh concentrate since some cannabinoids were consumed during the original dab, but it's still active. Many people re-dab it when their stash runs low, though the flavor won't match fresh product. Others add it to edibles since it's already decarboxylated. Store collected reclaim in a concentrate jar to keep it from drying out.

How do I clean the glass portion?

Let it cool completely, then soak in isopropyl alcohol. For stubborn buildup, add coarse salt and shake gently. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let dry before reattaching. The silicone puck can be cleaned the same way or simply wiped out if you're planning to collect more.

Will this make my rig more top-heavy?

The 2.5 inch height adds some leverage, but it's compact enough that most rigs handle it fine. If you have a particularly tall or narrow-based rig, be mindful when attaching your torch — the extra height means your banger sits a bit higher than usual. Using a dab mat helps stabilize the whole setup.

What's the difference between 45° and 90° angles?

The angle refers to how the joint sits relative to the rig body. A 90° joint points straight up; a 45° joint angles outward. Match this to your rig's existing angle so your banger and carb cap are positioned comfortably for use. Wrong angle won't break anything, but it makes dabbing awkward.
