5″ 14 M 45° ENCORE BABYFACE SLIT ASH CATCHER

The 5″ 14mm Male 45° Encore Babyface Slit Ash Catcher is a glass add-on for people who actually use their pieces and want them to stay clean. Built for 14mm female, 45° bongs, it stacks a Babyface slit perc in front of your main chamber so the ash and funk get trapped here instead of in your favorite tube. At 5 inches (127mm) tall, it adds real filtration without turning your setup into a top-heavy science project.

Why You’ll Actually Like This Thing

• Smoother pulls, less bite — The Babyface slit perc breaks your hit into smaller bubbles so the smoke cools a bit and feels way less harsh.
• Your main bong stays way cleaner — Ash, resin, and chunks stop here first, which means less scrubbing and fewer deep-cleans on your daily driver.
• Perfect for 45° setups — Designed specifically for 14mm female joints at 45°, so it lines up naturally instead of forcing a weird angle.
• Compact, not clunky — At 5 inches (127mm), it adds function and a little flair without making your piece feel like a glass tower.
• Helps protect your investment — Catching debris before it hits your main chamber means fewer chances of hard, stuck-on buildup that can stain or etch glass over time.
• Extra filtration for both flower and dabs — Whether you’re packing a bowl or running a banger, you get that added layer of water and diffusion.

Best For

This ash catcher is made for people who run their bong as a true daily driver and are tired of constant deep-clean missions. If you’re already the type to sesh over a clean dab mat and like your setup dialed, this slots right into that vibe. It’s especially good for anyone with a 14mm, 45° beaker or tube who wants better function but doesn’t want to replace their whole piece.

How to Use It

Drop the Encore Babyface Ash Catcher into any 14mm female, 45° joint and it becomes the new front line for your hits. Your bowl or banger goes into the top joint on the ash catcher, and the bottom joint slides into your bong’s joint, giving your smoke an extra water stop before it hits the main chamber.

For flower, load your usual slide and let the ash catcher take the brunt of the mess so your main piece barely crusts up. For concentrates, pair it with a banger and keep it sitting on a heat-safe accessory setup so you’re not stressing about sticky drips on the table.

When the water starts to look murky or the perc starts collecting gunk, just pull it off, dump the water, and give it a quick clean so it’s ready for the next sesh. Keeping this part clean is way easier than fully detailing your main piece every few days.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

This piece plays best with 14mm female bongs that have a 45° joint, which covers a ton of classic beakers and straight tubes. If your current bowl or banger is 14mm male, it should drop right into the ash catcher’s top joint without any adapters needed.

Because it’s glass-on-glass, treat it like your other nicer glass attachments: avoid knocking it around, don’t overload super heavy bowls on top, and make sure everything is seated snugly before you move the rig. If you’re running a heavier setup, pairing it with a sturdy silicone rig base or piece can help keep things stable.

Cleaning & Care

Let the ash catcher cool fully before you mess with it, especially after dab runs. Once it’s safe to handle, empty the old water, then soak or rinse with isopropyl alcohol, rinse with clean water, and let it dry before you put it back into rotation. Keeping this part clean means your whole setup tastes better and your main bong needs way less elbow grease.

FAQ

• Will this fit my bong?
  If your bong has a 14mm female joint at a 45° angle, you’re good. The Encore Babyface Ash Catcher has a 14mm male joint designed to slide directly into that style of piece.
• Can I use this with a straight tube or 90° joint?
  It’s really meant for 45° joints. You might be able to rig something with adapters, but the angle and water line will be off. If your piece has a 90° joint, you’re better off with an ash catcher made for 90° setups that matches your joint size, or just building a new daily driver from our broader smoke shop products collection.
• Can I run this for dabs, or is it just for flower?
  You can absolutely run it for both. Just plug a 14mm banger into the top and you’ve got extra water and diffusion in front of your main rig. If you’re handling stickier concentrates, a solid set of dab tools will help you keep your banger and catcher cleaner between pulls.
• How often should I change the water?
  Any time it starts to look cloudy, dark, or smell off, swap it out. The whole point of this thing is to be easy to clean, so it’s way less hassle to quickly refresh the ash catcher than to scrub your entire tube.
• Does the Babyface slit perc really make a difference?
  Yes. The slit design breaks your hit into more, smaller bubbles, which means more surface area and better contact with the water. That gives you a smoother, more controlled pull than a simple open downstem-style catcher.
• What’s the best way to keep my whole setup clean?
  Use this ash catcher as your first filter, change the water regularly, and give it a quick alcohol rinse when buildup starts. Storing your flower or concentrates in proper storage & packaging also helps keep your smoke tasting fresher, so you’re not baking old, dried-out material through clean glass.
• Is this okay for travel or should it stay at home?
  It’s glass, so it’s better as part of your at-home setup. If you’re moving it around, pack it carefully and keep it separate from your main piece. For on-the-go setups or more rugged seshes, pairing your glass with tougher gear from our nectar collectors lineup can be a smarter move.
