灰烬捕手:他们做什么以及为什么使用一种
灰捕获者是在进入您的主水室之前捕获碎片的粘附附件。 它们使您的烟枪更加清洁,不利因素最小。 本指南解释了灰烬捕手的工作原理,不同的类型以及是否值得添加到您的设置中。
快速回答
灰捕获器附着在您的烟灰的关节上,并在灰烬、树脂和碎屑到达您的烟枪之前捕获它们。 Result: You clean your ash catcher frequently (easy) instead of your whole bong (harder). Users report cleaning their bong 3-4x less often. Available in dry and wet styles with various joint angles.
灰捕手的工作原理
一个捕灰器位于您的碗和烟枪接头之间,形成一个额外的过滤室。
烟雾走:
1.碗(附在灰烬捕手)
2 灰烬捕手室(这里的碎片坠落/过滤器)
3. 下风(干净的烟雾进入烟雾)
4。 邦水室
5. 你的肺
被抓到的东西:
- 灰颗粒
- 植物碎片
- 树脂堆积
- 小颗粒物
经过什么:
- Smoke
- Vapor
- 大多数萜烯
灰烬捕手的类型
干灰捕获器
没有水,只有一个空房间。
Pros:
- 最小的添加阻力
- 没有什么可以溢出的
- 最容易维护
- 轻磅
- 最便宜的选择
Cons:
- 比湿过滤少
- 烟没有冷却
- 只是碎片捕获
Best for:想要清洁而不改变他们的命中的用户
湿灰捕手(基本)
像小烟一样含有水。
Pros:
- 额外的过滤
- 冷却器烟
- 更多碎片被捕获
- 比干好
Cons:
- 添加一些拖动
- 倾斜时水会溢出
- Heavier
- 水需要改变
Best for:大多数用户寻求清洁度+顺滑度
过滤器灰烬捕手
内置过滤器的湿灰捕获器。
Pros:
- 最大过滤
- 非常流畅的命中
- 显着冷却
- 非常适合刺鼻的花
Cons:
- 添加的大多数拖动
- 最重的选择
- 更难清洁
- 最贵的
- 一些设置的矫枉过正
Best for:平滑度爱好者,简单的bongs想要更多过滤的用户
关节尺寸和角度
获得正确的配合至关重要 - 错误的尺寸或角度会导致问题。
Joint Size
匹配您的 Bong 的关节尺寸:
- 14mm bong = 14mm ash catcher
- 18mm bong = 18mm ash catcher
如果不匹配,请使用适配器(增加尴尬的高度)。
接合角
这是许多买家犯错误的地方。
45度角:最常见的烧杯烟枪。 碗以明显的角度坐着。
90度角:常见于直管式烟枪。 碗几乎直立。
使用错误的角度:
- 对玻璃接头施加压力
- 捕灰者可能不正确
- 破损的风险
- 看起来很尴尬
如何检查你的角度:坐下时看看你现在的碗。 它是向后倾斜(45°)还是几乎直立(90°)?
灰捕手真的有用吗?
简短的回答:绝对是的。
用户报告一致显示:
- 邦格水保持清洁时间更长 3-4 倍
- 邦格腔内的树脂堆积较少
- 下风保持清洁
- 过滤器不会堵塞
- 会话后的显着视觉差异
权衡:你更频繁地清洁捕灰器,但它比完整的烟枪更容易清洁。
设施
步骤 1:检查兼容性
验证关节尺寸和角度匹配。 如果有错,使用前返回。
第二步:加水(如果是湿式)
填充灰烬捕手,直到下茎底部被约半英寸覆盖。 不要过度填充 - 它会溅入烟雾中。
第三步:连接到邦格
将捕灰器插入您的烟枪关节。 应牢牢坐下,无需强迫。
第四步:装碗
将您的碗放入 Ash Catcher 的关节中。 现在你有:碗→灰捕手→邦格。
第五步:全程测试前测试
进行干拉(无光)检查:
- 有没有太多的阻力?
- 水会溅到任何地方吗?
- 一切稳定吗?
重量和稳定性问题
灰捕手增加重量并改变你的烟枪平衡点。
潜在问题:
Tip-over risk: Heavy ash catcher on lightweight bong can make it front-heavy.
Joint stress: Weight hanging off joint can cause wear or cracks over time.
Handling changes: Need to be more careful picking up bong.
Solutions:
- Use appropriately sized ash catcher for your bong
- Consider dry ash catchers (lighter)
- Don't use on thin/fragile glass
- Handle bong from base, not neck
Cleaning Ash Catchers
Frequency: More often than your bong - that's the point. Clean when you see debris accumulation.
Quick Clean (After Each Session):
1. Empty water (if wet style)
2. Tap out loose ash
3. Quick rinse with warm water
4. Done
Deep Clean (Weekly or As Needed):
1. Empty and disassemble if possible
2. Add isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt
3. Shake in sealed bag
4. Use pipe cleaners for hard spots
5. Rinse thoroughly
6. Dry before use
Much easier than cleaning a full bong - this is the main benefit.
Airflow Considerations
All ash catchers add some drag. How much depends on type:
Minimal drag: Dry ash catchers
Moderate drag: Basic wet ash catchers
Noticeable drag: Percolator ash catchers
If Drag Is Too Much:
- Switch to dry ash catcher
- Use ash catcher with larger openings
- Accept it as trade-off for cleanliness
- Remove ash catcher for sessions where you want free airflow
Is an Ash Catcher Worth It?
Definitely Worth It If:
- You hate cleaning your bong
- Your bong has complex percolators that clog easily
- You share your bong (gets dirtier faster)
- You want smoother hits AND cleanliness
- You smoke frequently
Maybe Not Worth It If:
- You already clean bong after every session
- Your bong has no percolators (easy to clean anyway)
- You're very sensitive to added drag
- Budget is very tight
- Your bong is small/lightweight (stability issues)
Price Reality:
- Basic dry ash catcher: $15-30
- Basic wet ash catcher: $25-45
- Percolator ash catcher: $40-80+
Given how much easier they make bong maintenance, most regular users find them worthwhile investments.
Common Mistakes
Wrong angle purchase: Most common error. Double-check before buying.
Overfilling water: Leads to splash-back into bong. Less water is better.
Never cleaning it: Defeats the purpose. Debris-filled ash catcher stops filtering effectively.
Using on fragile bong: Weight stress can crack thin joints.
Ignoring stability: Heavy ash catcher on light bong = accidents.
Alternatives to Ash Catchers
Screens in bowl: Cheap metal or glass screens prevent debris. Less effective than ash catchers but simpler.
Frequent water changes: Changing water after every session keeps bong cleaner.
Regular cleaning schedule: Weekly deep cleans regardless of debris level.
Built-in pre-coolers: Some bongs have integrated ash catching chambers.
None are as effective as a dedicated ash catcher, but they help.
Final Verdict
Ash catchers do exactly what they promise - keep your bong cleaner by catching debris before it enters the main chamber. The cleaning trade-off (ash catcher frequently, bong rarely) is favorable for most users.
Match your joint size and angle, consider drag sensitivity, and choose dry vs wet based on your filtration preferences. For most regular bong users, an ash catcher is a smart investment that pays for itself in reduced cleaning time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, significantly. Ash catchers trap debris before it enters your bong's main chamber. Users report cleaning their bong 3-4x less frequently. The ash catcher itself needs regular cleaning, but it's much easier to clean than a full bong.
