HITTN MATRIX PERC ASH CATCHER

Description

Joint Size: Match your piece (14mm or 18mm). Joint Angle: 45° for most beakers, 90° for most straight tubes. Joint Gender: This ash catcher has a male joint to fit a female water pipe. Perc Type: Matrix perc for dense, smooth filtration. Material: Durable borosilicate glass for heat resistance. Goal: Keep the main piece clean and cool down hits. An ash catcher's main goal is to keep the primary water pipe clean.. Matrix percolators diffuse smoke into many small bubbles for effective cooling.. This accessory is available in 14mm and 18mm joint sizes.. It comes in both 45-degree and 90-degree angle options.. The matrix perc is designed for maximum filtration and diffusion.. Borosilicate glass construction ensures durability and resistance to thermal shock.. Choosing the correct joint size and angle prevents stress on your water pipe.. Joint Size (14mm vs 18mm): Check the joint on your water pipe. This ash catcher has a male joint that fits into a female joint on your bong. If you use a 14mm bowl, you need a 14mm ash catcher. If it's 18mm, you need an 18mm one.. Joint Angle (45° vs 90°): Look at where the joint comes out of your water pipe. Choose 45° if your joint points out at a diagonal angle. This is most common on beaker-style bongs.. Choose 90° if your joint points straight up. This is typical for straight tube bongs with percolators.. Beaker bongs typically require a 45-degree ash catcher for proper balance.. Straight tube bongs or rigs with vertical joints commonly use 90-degree ash catchers.. An ash catcher's joint size must match the bong's joint size (e.g., 14mm to 14mm).. A percolator's function is to cool smoke by forcing it through water.. Borosilicate glass is valued for its thermal resistance and durability in smoking hardware.. More bubbles create more surface area, which improves the cooling effect of the water.. Verify Fit: Before adding water, gently connect the ash catcher to your clean, dry water pipe to confirm the size and angle are correct.. Add Water: Fill the ash catcher with just enough water to submerge the matrix perc's slits, about one-quarter to one-third full.. Avoid Overfilling: Too much water can lead to splashback into your mouth or your main piece and add unnecessary drag.. Connect Securely: Attach the ash catcher to your bong, ensuring a snug, airtight fit.. Add Your Bowl: Place your packed bowl into the top joint of the ash catcher.. Test the Draw: Take a small, gentle pull without lighting the bowl to check for airflow and bubbles. If you get water in your mouth, lower the water level.. The correct water level should submerge the percolator slits without overfilling.. Overfilling an ash catcher can cause excessive drag and water splashback.. Always test the connection and draw before a full session to check for function.. Matrix percs are known for balancing high diffusion with relatively low drag.. Tree percs have multiple arms that can be fragile and hard to clean properly.. Honeycomb percs are discs with many small holes, offering little resistance.. An ash catcher should be cleaned more frequently than the water pipe it's attached to.. Isopropyl alcohol is an effective solvent for breaking down dry herb resin.. Coarse salt acts as a mechanical scrubber inside the glass for tough buildup.. Shop the Full Ash Catchers Collection.
