Both need to match your bong's joint. If your bong has a 14mm female joint at 45°, you need a 14mm male ash catcher at 45°.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water do I put in the ash catcher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eJust enough to cover the percolator slits  -  usually about half an inch. Too much water adds drag and can cause water to flow back into your bong. Less is more here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes an ash catcher really make a difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. It catches ash and resin before they reach your bong, which means cleaner water, smoother hits, and way less cleaning.
