HITTN SEA CREATURES SHOWERHEAD PERC ASH CATCHER

What Specs Make This Ash Catcher Stand Out?

Its 14mm/45-degree build and showerhead perc offer an immediate functional upgrade.

• The 14mm 45-degree joint is a standard fit for many popular bongs.
• The showerhead percolator is known for making fine bubbles and providing excellent filtration.
• Made from scientific borosilicate glass, it can handle regular use and cleaning.

How Does A Showerhead Perc Improve Your Session?

A showerhead percolator is a fan-favorite for a good reason. As smoke enters the ash catcher, it's pulled through vertical slits at the base of the perc. This pushes the smoke into tons of tiny bubbles, increasing its surface area. More contact with water means more cooling and filtering, giving you a smoother, cleaner-tasting hit. The showerhead design also balances great diffusion with low drag, so you get all the perks without a restrictive pull.

Why Is The Sea Life Design So Popular?

This isn't just a functional piece; it's a conversation starter. The Hittn Sea Creatures series shows a fun, underwater world inside tough borosilicate glass. Each one has carefully made glass sea creatures, like an octopus or starfish, inside the chamber. The bright green color makes it look even better, adding a personal touch to your setup. It turns a standard accessory into a small piece of art you'll be happy to use.

This piece balances top-tier diffusion with a design that makes your setup one-of-a-kind.

• Showerhead percs provide smooth hits with very little drag.
• The detailed sea creature figures make this an artistic piece.
• Borosilicate glass ensures the design's details last through use and cleaning.

How Do You Set Up This Ash Catcher For The Best Results?

Getting started is simple. Following these steps helps you get perfect performance, preventing splash-back and maximizing filtration.

1. Rinse Clean: Before the first use, give the ash catcher a quick rinse with warm water to remove any dust.
2. Add Water: Fill the chamber with just enough water to cover the showerhead perc's slits, usually about 1/4 to 1/3 full. Too much water can cause drag or splashing.
3. Attach to Your Bong: Carefully connect the 14mm male joint of the ash catcher to the 14mm female joint on your water pipe. Make sure it's a snug fit.
4. Perform a Test Pull: Without a bowl, take a light pull from your bong's mouthpiece. You should see bubbles with no water splashing into the joint. If water gets through, pour a little out and try again.
5. Add Your Bowl & Enjoy: Once the water level is right, place your 14mm bowl into the ash catcher's top joint and enjoy a cleaner session.

A proper setup takes less than a minute and leads to consistently smooth, splash-free hits.

• The key is adding just enough water to cover the percolator slits.
• A quick test pull without a bowl helps you find the perfect water level.
• This process prevents splashing and ensures the best smoke diffusion.

How Does A Showerhead Perc Compare To Other Types?

While the showerhead gives a fantastic all-around experience, different percolators suit different tastes. Here’s a quick look at common ash catcher styles you might find in a similar price range.

The showerhead perc provides the best balance of smoothness, low drag, and easy maintenance.

• Showerhead percs are less likely to clog than honeycomb discs.
• They are tougher and easier to clean than delicate tree percs.
• Unlike a dry catcher, this one provides significant cooling and filtration.

What Is The Easiest Way To Clean This Ash Catcher?

Keeping your Sea Creatures Ash Catcher sparkling is easy and helps maintain the best flavor. For a quick clean, just rinse it with hot water. For a deep clean to remove tough grime, follow these steps:

1. Pour out the used water and rinse the piece.
2. Add a mix of coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) into the chamber.
3. Plug the joints with your fingers or cleaning plugs and shake gently for 30-60 seconds.
4. Pour the mixture out and rinse well with hot water until all the alcohol and residue are gone.

A quick shake with isopropyl alcohol and salt will make your ash catcher look like new again.

• Regular rinsing helps prevent heavy buildup.
• Isopropyl alcohol is very effective at dissolving resin.
• Coarse salt acts as a safe scrubber for the inside of the glass.

What Should You Check Before Attaching Your New Ash Catcher?

To ensure a perfect fit and prevent accidents, run through this quick checklist before you connect your ash catcher.

• Confirm Joint Size: Make sure your water pipe has a 14mm female joint.
• Match the Angle: This is a 45° ash catcher. It’s for bongs where the joint is at a 45-degree angle, like most beakers. It will not sit upright on a 90-degree (straight) joint.
• Check Stability: Ensure your bong has a sturdy base. An accessory adds weight, which can make lighter bongs unstable.
• Consider an Adapter: If your bong is 18mm, you will need an 18mm-to-14mm adapter (sold separately) for this to fit.
• After Use: Always empty the water from your ash catcher after each session. This prevents stale flavors and makes cleaning easier.

Checking your bong's joint size and angle is the most important step for a perfect, leak-free fit.

• This ash catcher is made specifically for 14mm joints at a 45-degree angle.
• Using it on a 90-degree joint will cause it to tilt and might spill.
• Emptying water after each use is the best way to keep it clean.
