Dry Catchers

Dry catchers serve the same core purpose as ash catchers by trapping ash and debris before it reaches your bong, but they do so without additional percolation. Instead of relying on a perc, dry catchers use a simple water chamber to catch particulates, keeping the vapor path open and maintaining a more direct draw. The appeal of dry catchers lies in their simplicity. By avoiding internal percolators, they preserve airflow and function while still protecting the main piece from ash buildup. This makes dry catchers a good option for smokers who already use bongs with sufficient built-in percolation. Dry catchers use standard joint sizes and angles, most commonly 14mm or 18mm in either 45-degree or 90-degree configurations, allowing compatibility with a wide range of bongs. The chamber holds enough water to catch debris without frequent changes, and the open internal design makes it easy to see when cleaning or refreshing the water is needed. Some dry catchers include reinforced joints or subtle worked details, while others remain strictly functional.
