3″ 14 M 90° Encore Color Joint Pull Out Ash Catcher

The 3″ 14mm Male 90° Encore Color Joint Pull Out Ash Catcher is a compact glass add-on built for people who are tired of their favorite bong or rig getting filthy after a few bowls. It slips into 14mm female joints, adds an extra layer of filtration, and keeps ash and debris out of your main piece. At only 3 inches (76mm), it gives you cleaner function without turning your setup into a bulky science project.

This little guy is all about keeping the piece you actually care about cleaner, longer, while adding a subtle pop of color instead of another plain clear attachment.

Why it works

  • Way less scrubbing on your main piece — Catches ash and gunk before it hits your bong or rig, so your actual glass stays clear and way easier to maintain.
  • Plug-and-play fit — 14mm male joint is made to drop right into any 14mm female joint, no weird adapters or guesswork.
  • Stays lined up with your piece — 90° angle is perfect for upright bongs and rigs with a 90° joint, keeping the bowl level and your function smooth.
  • Color where it counts — Colored joint and Encore decal add just enough style to make your setup look intentional, not random.
  • Pull-out design for quick dumps — Slide the bowl or slide out, clear the ash catcher, pop it back in, and you’re ready for the next round.
  • Protects higher-end glass — Acts like a sacrificial piece, taking the staining and heat so your favorite tube doesn’t have to.

Best for

This ash catcher is ideal for daily drivers who are tired of deep-cleaning their main piece every couple of days. If you’re hitting flower bowls back-to-back or passing around a single bong at every sesh, this keeps things tasting fresher and looking less grimy. It’s also a solid upgrade if you’ve got a nicer piece and want an affordable layer of protection before you risk chipping or staining it, especially if most of your other smoke shop gear is already dialed in.

How to use it

Using the Encore Pull Out Ash Catcher is straightforward: the 14mm male joint goes directly into your water pipe or rig’s 14mm female joint at a 90° angle, and your slide or bowl goes into the ash catcher’s joint. That way, ash drops into the catcher instead of blasting straight into your main chamber.

Keep a little bit of water in the catcher (if you prefer that extra bit of diffusion) and dump it when it starts to look cloudy or smell off. To keep your table from getting sticky when you pull it off, park your piece on a nonstick dab mat so any drips or spills stay contained instead of soaking into wood or cloth.

When you’re done for the day, let it cool down, pull it off your rig, and empty the water and ash. A quick rinse after each use goes a long way to keeping it from getting permanently stained, especially if you’re using it as a daily attachment alongside your favorite silicone bongs and rigs.

Fit & Compatibility

This ash catcher is made for 14mm female joints with a 90° angle. If your bong or rig has a 45° joint or a different size, this won’t sit correctly without adapters, and you’ll end up with a crooked bowl or bad function. Think straight-tube or beaker style pieces with a vertical joint coming straight out — that’s the sweet spot for this accessory.

Because it’s a pull-out design, it works best with standard 14mm bowls and slides you probably already have on hand. If you like to swap between this and other attachments, it’s not a bad idea to keep your bowls and add-ons organized with dedicated storage and packaging so they’re not rolling around in a drawer.

Cleaning advice

Let the ash catcher cool before you mess with it, then remove it from your piece and dump the water and ash. Rinse with warm water to knock loose the loose stuff. For a deeper clean, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with water, and let it dry completely before popping it back onto your rig.

FAQ

  • Will this fit my piece?
    If your bong or rig has a 14mm female joint at a 90° angle, you’re good. If the joint is 45° or a different size (like 10mm or 18mm), this specific ash catcher won’t line up correctly without extra adapters.
  • Does it change how my piece hits?
    It can add a tiny bit of drag because you’re adding another chamber, but most people barely notice it. What you will notice is less ash in your main water and a cleaner taste over time, especially if you keep up with basic maintenance and use it alongside fresh glass or even sturdy nectar collectors when you switch to concentrates.
  • Can I use it with concentrates too?
    It’s mainly designed as an ash catcher for dry herb bowls, not a dedicated concentrate rig. That said, some people do run small bangers off ash catchers — just remember that’s extra weight on the joint and more heat exposure to glass that wasn’t really designed for high-temp dabbing.
  • How often should I clean it?
    If you’re hitting bowls all day, every day, a quick rinse daily and a deeper clean every few days keeps it looking good and prevents that permanent brown ghost stain. Heavy flower smokers who like their glass clear usually treat the ash catcher as the “dirty” piece so their main tube can go longer between serious cleanings.
  • Is the glass thick enough for daily use?
    It’s built as a functional, everyday accessory, not ultra-thin novelty glass. Still, it’s glass — try not to drop it in the sink or slam it against the table. If you’re clumsy or share seshes with a rowdy crew, pairing it with nonstick parchment paper or a soft work surface isn’t a bad idea when you’re breaking everything down.
  • Does it come with a bowl or slide?
    This listing is for the ash catcher itself. You’ll need your own 14mm bowl or slide to plug into the joint on top, which most people already have from their main bong setup.
  • How do I keep the labels and color looking fresh?
    Avoid scratching the outside with abrasive tools and don’t soak the decal in super hot water for long periods. A simple alcohol soak and rinse is enough. If you’re handling a lot of sticky material around your glass, storing concentrates in proper concentrate jars instead of open containers helps keep the outside of your gear cleaner too.
