HONEYBEE HERB CORE CYLINDER DOUBLE PERC GLASS ASH CATCHER
About the Product
The Honeybee Herb Core Cylinder Ash Catcher adds two powerful layers of water filtration to your setup. It catches ash and debris before they reach your bong, ensuring cooler, smoother hits and a much cleaner piece. As a quick guide, choose the 90° angle for bongs with a vertical joint, like a beaker, and the 45° angle for rigs with a slanted joint.
Our Core Cylinder Ash Catcher is a straightforward upgrade for any 14mm setup. It acts as the first line of defense, intercepting resin and ash so your main water pipe stays dramatically cleaner for longer. By adding two stages of water percolation, it also cools and smoothes out every draw, making your sessions more enjoyable and your cleaning routine easier.
Why Add A Double Perc Ash Catcher To Your Setup?
A double perc ash catcher works twice as hard as a standard one. The smoke passes through two separate water chambers, each one filtering and cooling it. This process results in a noticeably less harsh experience and traps more debris, making it an ideal choice for daily users who want maximum filtration.

Which Angle Do I Need: 45° Or 90°?
Choosing the correct angle is crucial for making sure your ash catcher sits upright and works properly. Your choice depends entirely on the angle of the joint on your water pipe. We offer this model with either a 45-degree or 90-degree joint to match your piece.
Choosing The Right Joint Angle For Your Water Pipe
- Choose 90° if: Your water pipe's joint points straight up, vertical to the ground. This is common on most beaker bongs and straight tubes with a vertical downstem.
- Choose 45° if: Your water pipe's joint comes out at a diagonal angle. This is typical for many scientific rigs and custom pieces where the joint is not perfectly vertical.
Simply check your bong's joint before ordering. An incorrect angle will cause the ash catcher to be tilted, which can lead to improper water function or instability.
How To Use And Clean Your Double Perc Ash Catcher
Proper setup and regular maintenance are key to getting the most from your new ash catcher. Double percolators require a bit of care, but a little effort makes a big difference in performance.
How Much Water Should I Put In It?
Getting the water level right is simple. Follow these steps for the best percolation without any splash-back:
- Fill the Bottom Chamber: Add just enough water to cover the percolator slits in the lower chamber (about 1/3 full).
- Fill the Top Chamber: Carefully add water to the top chamber until its percolator slits are submerged (about 1/4 to 1/3 full).
- Attach and Test: Connect the ash catcher to your bong and take a gentle test pull without a bowl. If water splashes into your bong, pour a little out from the top chamber.
How Do You Clean A Double Perc Ash Catcher?
Because of its dual chambers, cleaning requires a good soak and rinse. We recommend cleaning it whenever the water looks discolored or the airflow feels tight.
- Cleaning Supplies: You will need 91%+ Isopropyl Alcohol, Coarse Salt, and a sealable bag or container.
- Process: Disconnect the ash catcher and empty the old water. Place it in a bag with alcohol and salt, seal it, and shake gently. For heavy buildup, let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it air dry completely before use.
