3″ 14 M 90° RAINBOW SWIRL ASH CATCHER

The 3" 14mm 90° Rainbow Swirl Ash Catcher is a compact glass add-on built for bong lovers who are tired of scrubbing dirty downstems after every bowl. It’s made for people who want smoother, cleaner hits and a rig that actually stays clear longer. At just 3 inches (76mm) with a 14mm male, 90° joint, it adds filtration and color without turning your setup into a clunky science project.

Why You’ll Actually Use This

• Way less gunk in your bong — Catches ash and debris before it ever touches your main piece, so your water and glass stay cleaner way longer.
• Smoother, less harsh pulls — Extra filtration cools things down a bit and keeps burnt particles out of the hit.
• Small but mighty upgrade — Short 3" (76mm) body gives you the benefits of an ash catcher without making your setup front-heavy.
• Rainbow swirl that actually pops — Colorful glass that stands out on the shelf and makes clear pieces look way less boring.
• Easy on / easy off — Simple 14mm male, 90° joint slides into most standard bongs that use a 90° 14mm female joint.
• Faster cleanups — It’s always easier to rinse a small ash catcher than deep-clean your favorite tube every other day.

Best For

This piece is made for daily drivers who love their glass but hate deep-clean days. If you’re running a compact bong or rig with a 14mm female, 90° joint and want just a bit more filtration and a lot less mess, this is the kind of accessory that quietly becomes part of your permanent setup. It’s also a great pick if you’re starting to upgrade your kit beyond basics and want something more fun than plain clear glass before you dive into full silicone bongs and rigs.

How to Use It

Using the Rainbow Swirl Ash Catcher is as simple as adding one more piece to your normal setup. Slide the 14mm male joint of the ash catcher into the 14mm female joint on your bong so it sits at a clean 90° angle, then add your existing bowl piece to the top joint of the catcher (or whichever connection point your current bowl is made for).

When you pull, smoke and ash first travel into the ash catcher, where the debris drops and the smoke gets a quick wash before continuing into your main piece. That means most of the grime gets trapped in this small chamber instead of coating the inside of your bong. If you like to keep your table clean too, park your setup on a nonstick dab mat so any stray ash or water droplets don’t end up on your furniture.

Cleaning is straightforward: let everything cool, remove the ash catcher, empty any leftover water and ash, then soak or rinse with isopropyl alcohol, rinse with clean water, and dry before using again. Keeping the catcher clean regularly is what keeps your hits tasting fresh.

Specs

Fit & Compatibility

This ash catcher is designed to plug directly into any piece with a 14mm female joint at a 90° angle. That’s a pretty standard setup for a lot of modern bongs and smaller rigs. As long as your joint is 14mm female and sits upright at 90° (not a 45° slanted joint), it should play nice.

Because it’s only 3" (76mm), it doesn’t add a ton of weight or length, which is great for smaller water pipes that can get tippy with oversized accessories. If you’re rebuilding your kit from scratch, this pairs well with basic glass tubes and other daily-driver-level smoke shop essentials.

The Basics: Why Ash Catchers Matter

If you’ve ever looked at your bong and thought, “Did it really get this dirty after one night?”, this is the fix. An ash catcher acts like a pre-filter and pre-chamber. Instead of ash blasting straight into your water and sticking to every surface, it collects in this separate piece that you can pop off and clean in a couple minutes.

Function-wise, you’re adding a little extra path and sometimes a touch more water for the smoke to move through. That can tame harsher bowls and keep flavor cleaner over time because you’re not constantly pulling through old resin and spent ash stuck in your main chamber. It’s a small upgrade, but once you run an ash catcher for a while, going back to bare bong feels… messy.

Care & Cleaning Tips

To keep the Rainbow Swirl Ash Catcher looking good and working right, give it a quick rinse every few uses instead of waiting until it’s totally caked. Let it cool, dump out the water and ash, then rinse. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let it dry before you put it back into your setup.

If you’re someone who likes to keep all your gear in order, stash your bowls, screens, and lighters together with your ash catcher in a dedicated tray or small storage spot. A simple organizer or smell-proof container from our broader storage and packaging lineup can help keep your kit from turning into a junk drawer.

FAQ

• Will this fit my bong?
  If your bong or rig has a 14mm female joint at a 90° angle, this ash catcher should fit right in. If your joint is 45° or a different size (like 18mm), this specific piece won’t be the right match.
• Does it make my piece tip over?
  Most likely not. At only 3" (76mm), it’s compact and lighter than big percolated catchers, so it usually keeps your setup balanced. Just be mindful with super small or super thin glass pieces.
• Can I use this with a dab setup?
  This ash catcher is mainly designed for dry herb bowls, but some people do run them in mixed setups if joint sizes and angles line up. If you’re putting together a concentrate rig specifically, you may want to look at dedicated dab tools and accessories built for that kind of use.
• Is there any special way I should clean the rainbow design?
  No special tricks needed. Treat it like any other glass: let it cool, soak in isopropyl alcohol for a deeper clean, rinse thoroughly with water, and let dry. Avoid scratching it with hard brushes or abrasive pads.
• Do I need to add water to the ash catcher?
  Some people like to run a little water in their ash catcher, some prefer it dry depending on their piece and pull. Use it the way that gives you the draw you like; just remember extra water means you’ll want to empty and rinse it more often.
• Will this change how my bong hits?
  Yes, but in a good way for most people. You’re adding a bit more filtration and a small amount of drag. Most folks find it makes the hit feel smoother while keeping the main chamber cleaner, which usually keeps flavor fresher too.
• What else pairs well with this?
  A steady base (like a tray or pad), some backup bowls, and a good lighter or hemp wick will round out your kit. If you’re expanding your collection, this ash catcher looks especially good next to colorful spoons and other pieces in our silicone pipe selection for a mix of glass and unbreakable gear.
