DROP DOWN GLASS RECLAIM CATCHER
About the Product
Our 14mm Drop Down Glass Reclaim Catcher is an accessory that saves unvaped concentrate and keeps your rig cleaner. Just make sure to match the 45° or 90° angle to your rig's joint.
A reclaim catcher is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your dab rig setup. Our glass accessory attaches between your rig's joint and your banger, acting as a trap for any unvaporized concentrate. This simple addition has two main benefits: it keeps your primary water pipe much cleaner and lets you collect the excess material (reclaim) for future use. We designed this Drop Down Glass Reclaim Catcher for stability and efficiency.
How to Choose a Reclaim Catcher
- Measure Your Rig's Joint Size: Make sure it's a 14mm joint to match this catcher.
- Check Your Rig's Joint Angle: Choose the matching 45° or 90° catcher for a perfect fit.
- Verify Joint Gender: This catcher fits 14mm female rig joints and works with 14mm male bangers.
- Select a Style: A drop-down design like this one extends your banger away from the rig, protecting it from heat.

How Do I Install The Reclaim Catcher?
Using your Drop Down Glass Reclaim Catcher is simple. Proper installation ensures an airtight seal for the best efficiency and vapor quality. Follow these easy steps to get set up in under a minute.
- Step 1: Attach the Catcher. Gently insert the top male joint of the reclaim catcher into your dab rig's 14mm female joint. Make sure it's snug and vertical.
- Step 2: Attach Your Banger. Insert your 14mm male banger into the female joint on the reclaim catcher. A secure fit stops any vapor from escaping.
- Step 3: Check the Silicone Cap. Make sure the silicone collection cup at the bottom is securely attached to the glass nipple to prevent any loss of reclaim.
Installation is a quick, three-step process: connect the catcher to the rig, connect the banger to the catcher, and secure the cap.

- It requires matching the joint size (14mm) for a correct seal.
- The removable silicone jar must be secured before you use it.
Why Choose This Design?
While all reclaim catchers have the same basic job, the design details make a big difference in your experience. This model's drop-down style and precise jointing offer real advantages for safety, stability, and compatibility.
What Is A Drop Down Adapter For?
A drop down adapter does two key things. First, it physically moves your hot banger away from the body of your rig, which helps prevent heat stress and potential cracks on valuable glass. Second, it lowers the center of gravity, making your setup more stable and less likely to tip over.
Does The Joint Size And Angle Matter?
Yes, absolutely. The 14mm joint is a standard size, but the angle is critical for a proper fit. Rigs with a vertical joint (straight up and down) need a 90-degree reclaim catcher. Rigs with an angled joint stem need a 45-degree reclaim catcher. This keeps the banger level. Ordering the correct angle for your rig is essential.
The drop-down design protects your rig from heat, while choosing the right angle (45° or 90°) ensures your banger stays level.
- Drop down adapters increase safety by moving heat away from the rig body.
- Lowering the banger improves the setup's balance and stability.
- Use a 90-degree catcher for rigs with vertical joints.
- Use a 45-degree catcher for rigs with angled downstems.
How Does It Compare To Other Options?
When picking an accessory, it's helpful to see how it compares to others. While an ash catcher is for dry herbs, other reclaim catchers offer different materials or designs. This table compares our Drop Down Glass Catcher to other popular styles under $30.
| Accessory | Primary Material | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Drop Down Glass Reclaim Catcher | Borosilicate Glass | Stability, heat protection, and flavor purity. |
| Standard Glass Reclaim Catcher | Glass | Compact setups where space is limited. |
| Silicone Reclaim Catcher | Food-Grade Silicone | Durability, travel, and preventing breakage. |
| Glass Ash Catcher | Glass | Filtering ash from combusted dry herb (not for concentrates). |
Compared to other styles, the drop-down glass design offers the best balance of stability, heat safety, and flavor preservation.
- Reclaim catchers are for concentrates; ash catchers are for flower.
- Glass offers a purer taste profile than silicone.
- Silicone models provide better durability and are great for travel.
- Drop-down adapters are a premium feature for rig stability and protection.
How Do I Maintain My Reclaim Catcher?
Keeping your reclaim catcher clean is key for performance and flavor. Regular maintenance prevents buildup and makes sure every session is fresh. Luckily, the process is simple with common items.
How Do You Clean A Glass Reclaim Catcher?
For a deep clean, take the catcher apart by removing the silicone cap. Put the glass body in a sealable bag with isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Shake it gently for a few minutes until the residue is gone. Rinse it well with warm water and let it air dry completely before use.
How Do You Remove Collected Reclaim?
To get your saved material, gently pull the silicone cup from the bottom of the glass catcher. The reclaim should be easy to scoop out because of the non-stick surface. If it's extra sticky, you can put the silicone cup in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This makes the material hard and easier to pop out.
Clean the glass with isopropyl alcohol and salt. You can easily remove reclaim from the non-stick silicone cup after a brief freeze.
- Take the catcher apart before cleaning.
- Use isopropyl alcohol and salt for the glass parts.
- Rinse with warm water and air dry completely after cleaning.
- Briefly freezing the silicone cup can help release sticky reclaim.
Pre-Use Checklist & Post-Use Care
Follow these simple checks to ensure you have a great experience every time.
- Before Use: Check that your rig's joint is clean for a tight seal. Confirm you have the right angle (45° or 90°) for your rig. Make sure the silicone collection cup is securely attached.
- After Use: Let the glass cool completely before you handle or clean it. For storage, move collected reclaim into a separate airtight container. Clean the joints on both the rig and catcher to prevent them from sticking.
A clean joint is key before use, and letting the glass cool down is critical after.
- Always check for a clean joint connection before installation.
- Let glass cool down naturally to avoid temperature shock.
- Store collected reclaim in a separate container, not in the catcher.
