Shopping for a new bong. The ash catchers have caught my eye as it seems it would help keep things a lot cleaner. Anyone have any comment on that?
they don’t only keep your water cleaner, they also cool down your hits better. It’s like a free added percolator
Im really obsessive about having clean pieces. an ash catcher will keep bongs like 100x cleaner than it would be with out it. I swap out the ash catcher water at least once a day. usually twice. and the bong water once a day. ordered this from GC a few weeks back. the ash catcher is great. the bong is alright.
I should have worded that different. the bong is actually amazing, I love it. but the base of it isn't flat, and its got a pretty decent wobble. it sits on my bong shelf and NEVER moves unless I'm using it. so no worries really. but still. 3/5 stars
Thanks JKill that helps alot. I was actually kinda interested in one like you have there. I have another question. Price and quality. I see bongs going for $150 plus on websites and then see similar on Amazon for a whole lot less. So does it follow that more expensive is better quality and vice versa? You mentioned that Blaze has a wobble, was it expensive?
the Black Leaf bong has a wobble. Black Leaf Double HoneyComb Ice Bong | 22 inches I never even contacted customer service about it. I'm sure they would have let me exchange it the Blaze ash catcher is a bit tippy because of its design, but I just make sure to be careful setting it down. the 90 degree ash catcher is out of stock I guess. Blaze Glass - Recycler Precooler with HoneyComb Disc - 45 Degree Joint - 18.8mm
you get what you pay for... generally. you don't need to spend 800$ on a bong like a ROOR or something but a decent 5mm-7mm borosilicate bong will be around $100 at least IME
I just got 2 ashcatchers with black Friday deals. One 14mm the other 18mm so they fit almost all of my bongs. I love them. I mean they don't stop 100% but the bongs are definitely cleaner than they would be without one. I got them mainly to help stop my perculators from clogging up so easily
I wish I used mine more It sits around collecting dust. I find I always end up leaving them in the bong, and risk breaking it, or find myself slacking off on using it 100% of the time, which is kind of why I used it, to keep the bong clean.
