5″ 14 M 90° ENCORE BABYFACE SLIT ASH CATCHER

The 5" 14mm Male 90° Encore Babyface Slit Ash Catcher is a glass add-on built for smokers who want cleaner water pipes and smoother pulls without scrubbing their main piece every other day. It rocks a 14mm male joint at a true 90° angle, so it drops right into most upright bongs and rigs with a 14mm female joint. Inside, the Babyface slit perc breaks up and cools your hit while catching ash and reclaim before they ever touch your favorite tube.

If your daily driver is starting to gunk up fast, this little attachment becomes the first line of defense between dirty bowls and clean glass. At 5 inches (127mm) tall, it adds just enough extra filtration and volume without making your setup feel tall and tippy.

Why it works

• Keep your main piece cleaner — The ash catcher grabs ash and debris in its own chamber, so your bong stays clear longer and deep cleans are way less brutal.
• Smoother, cooler hits — The Babyface slit percolator slices your pull into smaller bubbles, adding an extra level of diffusion before the smoke even hits your main water chamber.
• Plug-and-play with most 14mm setups — 14mm male joint at a 90° angle plays nice with standard upright water pipes that use a 14mm female joint.
• Protect your investment — Taking the abuse in a separate piece means fewer chances of resin stains and hard water buildup in that expensive tube or rig you love.
• Easy to maintain — Straightforward shape and simple slit perc design make this way easier to clean than a stacked multi-chamber perc bong.
• Nice function without overcomplicating things — You get legit diffusion and smoother pulls, but it doesn’t add weird drag or make clearing your piece a workout.

Best for

This ash catcher is made for daily drivers who are sick of scrubbing resin out of every corner of their bong but still want clean-tasting smoke. It’s especially clutch if you’ve got a favorite straight tube or beaker and don’t feel like upgrading to some wild multi-perc tower just to get smoother hits.

If you’re already running a glass setup and want to keep your table cleaner, pair this with a solid dab mat or bong pad underneath so drips and splash stay off your desk or coffee table. It’s a small upgrade that makes your whole station feel more dialed.

How to use it

Pop the 14mm male joint of the ash catcher into the 14mm female joint on your bong or rig, making sure the 90° angle lines everything up so the chamber sits upright. Your bowl or banger then goes into the joint on the ash catcher, turning it into an extra mini water chamber between your piece and your smoke.

As you pull, the smoke drops into the Babyface slit perc, which forces it through multiple narrow slits. That creates a bunch of smaller bubbles, adding extra cooling and filtration and giving ash and heavier particles a place to drop out before going through to your main piece. When you’re done, you can pull the whole ash catcher off with the bowl still in it if you like snapping everything in one move.

For people who bounce between flower and concentrate, this kind of add-on is an easy way to keep your main rig from getting coated in reclaim and soot. If you’re running concentrates on your setup, pairing it with a proper set of dab tools helps keep your glass clean and your reclaim more contained.

Specifications

Fit & compatibility

This piece is built specifically for 14mm female joints at a 90° angle. That means it plays perfectly with most straight tubes, many beakers, and upright rigs that use a 14mm female joint facing straight out.

It won’t sit right on pieces with 45° joints or 18mm joints unless you add an adapter, and on very small rigs it may feel a little top-heavy. If your favorite rig is silicone, you can still run this as long as the joint sizing and angle match, and pairing a glass catcher with durable silicone bongs or rigs is a nice combo of function and durability.

Cleaning & care

Let everything cool down first, then empty any water and loose ash out of the chamber. For daily upkeep, a quick rinse with warm water keeps buildup from getting out of hand. When it starts to look hazy or sticky, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and let it dry before putting it back on your piece.

Because this catches a lot of the mess that would normally end up in your bong, expect to clean it more often than your main tube. That’s the trade-off: easy-to-clean accessory instead of scrubbing your whole piece every time.

FAQ

• Will this ash catcher fit my bong?
  If your bong or rig has a 14mm female joint at a 90° angle (the joint points straight out horizontally and the piece stays upright), you’re good. If the joint is angled at 45° or is 18mm, this exact catcher won’t line up correctly without an adapter.
• Does this change the way my piece hits?
  Yes, in a good way. The Babyface slit perc adds extra diffusion and a bit more volume, so hits usually feel smoother and slightly cooler. You might notice a bit more drag than running your bong bare, but it’s typically minimal and most people feel the extra smoothness is worth it.
• How much water should I put in it?
  Add enough water so the Babyface slit perc is submerged, but not so much that it splashes up into the joint when you pull. You can fine-tune the level by adding a little, taking a test pull (without lighting anything), and adjusting. If you’re working around a bigger setup or press space, keeping your station on something from our parchment papers and sheets lineup can help catch any spills.
• Is it worth using an ash catcher if I already have a percolated bong?
  If you like clean glass and smoother hits, usually yes. A good ash catcher keeps a lot of heavy resin, ash, and reclaim out of the tighter parts of your main percs, which can be a nightmare to scrub. It’s basically a sacrificial piece that gets dirty first, so your main tube doesn’t have to.
• Can I use this with a dab rig?
  As long as your rig has a 14mm female joint at 90°, you can drop this in front of a banger. It works as an extra reclaim and cooling chamber between your banger and rig. Just remember it’s still glass, so treat it with the same care as the rest of your setup and consider pairing it with proper storage and packaging for your concentrates so your rig stays tasting fresh.
• How do I clean the Babyface slit perc area?
  For regular maintenance, warm water rinses after use help a ton. When it gets really gunked up, a soak in isopropyl alcohol, followed by a thorough rinse and full dry, will clear the slits and restore function. Try not to let resin sit in there for weeks; a quick clean every few days keeps it from turning into a chore.
• What else do I need to run this with my setup?
  Most people just drop it onto their existing bong and keep using their usual bowl or banger. If you’re building out a full kit, grabbing a couple extra bowls or slides and some backup accessories from our general smoke shop products collection means you’re not stuck when something rolls off the table or disappears between couch cushions.
