The right accessories enhance your setup's functionality, protect your investment, and improve your overall experience. This guide covers essential accessories and how to choose quality options.
Ash catchers intercept ash and debris before they enter your main piece:
Benefits:
- Keeps main piece significantly cleaner
- Reduces cleaning frequency
- Adds extra filtration
- Protects your investment
Considerations:
- Joint Size: Must match your piece (10mm, 14mm, or 18mm)
- Joint Angle: Must match (45° or 90°)
- Gender: Female ash catcher for male joint pieces
- Percolation: Single perc is usually sufficient
- Size: Smaller ash catchers add less drag
Clean ash catcher weekly for best performance. Much easier than cleaning entire bong.
Adapters expand compatibility between pieces and accessories:
Size Adapters:
- 14mm to 18mm (or reverse)
- 10mm to 14mm (or reverse)
- Allows using accessories with different joint sizes
Gender Changers:
- Male to male or female to female
- Necessary for certain ash catcher/piece combinations
Angle Adapters:
- Convert 45° to 90° (or reverse)
- Useful for ash catchers and bangers
Keep a few adapters on hand for maximum flexibility with your collection.
Cleaning Solutions & Tools
Isopropyl Alcohol (90%+): Essential cleaning agent. Higher percentage works faster. Buy in bulk for cost savings.
Coarse Salt: Abrasive agent for scrubbing. Kosher or sea salt works best. Don't use table salt (too fine).
Pipe Cleaners: For stems, downstems, and tight spaces. Buy variety pack with different sizes.
Bottle Brushes: For beaker bases and straight tubes. Get multiple sizes.
Resolution Cleaning Solution: Pre-mixed cleaner. More convenient but more expensive than DIY.
Denture Tablets: Overnight soaking solution. Gentle but effective for regular maintenance.
Reclaimers for Dab Rigs
Reclaimers capture concentrate condensation for later use:
Dropdown Reclaimers:
- Position banger away from rig
- Reduce heat stress on rig joint
- Catch reclaim in chamber below
- Keep rig cleaner longer
Collection Benefits:
- Reclaim is still potent (lower quality but usable)
- Can be used for edibles or re-dabbing
- Reduces waste
- Extends time between deep cleans
Drawbacks:
- Adds weight and complexity
- Another piece to clean
- Can add slight drag
Storage & Protection
Padded Cases: Protect glass during transport. Get size-appropriate padding. Worth investment for expensive pieces.
Silicone Mats: Non-stick surface for dabbing setups. Heat resistant and easy to clean. Protects table surfaces.
Display Cases: Show off collection while keeping dust-free. Ensure proper spacing to prevent pieces touching.
Concentrate Containers: Silicone or glass jars for storing extracts. Keep different strains/types separate.
Cleaning Station: Dedicated area with supplies organized. Makes maintenance routine easier.
