Ash catchers are the single easiest add-on sale in the glass category. A customer already owns a bong, already knows what an ash catcher does, and buys one to keep their main piece cleaner for longer. But with different angles, percolators, and designs on the shelf, which 14mm models should you actually stock?
The best 14mm ash catchers for smoke shops are the ones that cover both fitment and function: 45° models for beaker bongs, 90° models for straight tubes, and a mix of simple chambers and percolator designs to cover every budget. Stocking the wrong angle leads to dead inventory. Stocking the right mix turns a routine accessory into a reliable, repeat-purchase category.
We've rounded up the top 5 14mm ash catchers from CloverGlass—each one is retail-ready, built from durable borosilicate glass, and designed to make the add-on sale effortless.[reference:0] From compact colorful catchers to honeycomb percs, here is what belongs on your shelf.

Why 14mm Ash Catchers Are a B2B Essential
An ash catcher does three things for the customer: it catches ash and resin before they enter the main bong, adds a second stage of water filtration for cooler hits, and dramatically reduces how often they need to deep-clean their main piece.[reference:1][reference:2]
For the shop owner, that translates into a different kind of value: ash catchers are bought by customers who already own a bong and already understand the product.[reference:3] It is not a speculative novelty sale. It is a functional upgrade with an obvious benefit, which makes it one of the easiest add-on sales in the entire glass category.
The 14mm male joint is the most common ash catcher size, compatible with the majority of water pipes and dab rigs on the market.[reference:4] Stocking a focused, well-chosen 14mm assortment covers the widest possible customer base without overcomplicating your inventory.
45° vs. 90°: The Fitment Rule Your Staff Must Know
The single most common return in the ash catcher category is the wrong angle. The industry rule of thumb is simple:
- 45° ash catcher → Beaker bongs. Most beaker-style water pipes have an angled downstem joint, and a 45° catcher sits flush against it.[reference:5]
- 90° ash catcher → Straight-tube bongs. Straight tubes have a vertical joint, and a 90° catcher drops straight down without putting stress on the joint.[reference:6]
If a customer is unsure, ask them to look at the joint on their bong: if it points out at an angle, they need 45°; if it points straight up, they need 90°. Training your staff on this one rule will eliminate the most common ash catcher mistake and turn a hesitant buyer into a confident one.
Top 5 14mm Ash Catchers for Smoke Shops
1. 4.0" Compact Colorful Ash Catcher
The entry-level price point that converts curious customers into ash catcher owners. At just 4.0 inches, this is the most compact piece on the list—easy to handle, easy to store, and easy to clean. Available in 45° or 90°, with vibrant colors including pink, blue, green, and orange.[reference:7]
Why it sells: The low price point makes it an impulse add-on at the register. Customers who aren't ready to spend on a percolator upgrade will happily buy a compact colorful catcher as a functional first step.

2. 5.0" Colorful Ash Catcher (45°/90°)
The middle-ground workhorse. At 5.0 inches, this catcher provides more water capacity and filtration than the compact 4.0" model, while still fitting most standard rigs. The internal rings improve filtration for smoother hits, and it is available in blue, green, purple, and orange with both angle options.[reference:8]
Why it sells: This is the volume driver of the category. The price-to-performance ratio is the sweet spot for most customers, and the color variety makes it easy to display a visually appealing set on the shelf.

3. 5.1" Clover Beaker Ash Catcher (Honeycomb Perc, 90°)
The functional upgrade in the lineup. This 5.1-inch catcher features a honeycomb percolator for extra diffusion and smoother draws, a beaker-style base for stability, and a fixed 90° 14mm male joint designed for straight-tube water pipes and dab rigs. It comes in blue, green, red, or golden, with a color-matched Clover retail box ready for display or resale.[reference:9]
Why it sells: The honeycomb perc is the point of difference. Customers who want a noticeable step up from a simple chamber will pay more for the extra diffusion, and the retail-ready packaging makes it easy to merchandise.

4. Hourglass Design Ash Catcher
A design-forward piece that stands out from standard cylindrical catchers.

Available in blue, green, red, and yellow, each piece comes in a color-matching Clover-branded box.[reference:10]
Why it sells: The hourglass silhouette is a visual differentiator. It appeals to customers who want their setup to look as good as it functions, and the color-coded retail packaging makes it easy to display as a set.

B2B Tips: How to Sell More Ash Catchers
- Display a Fitment Guide: Print a simple "45° = Beaker / 90° = Straight Tube" sign and place it next to the ash catcher display. It reduces returns and helps customers self-select.[reference:12]
- Bundle with Bongs: When a customer buys a beaker or straight tube, suggest the matching ash catcher at checkout. The upgrade is relevant, functional, and easy to justify.
- Lead with Color: The colorways are a retail advantage. Display all four colors of each model together—customers often buy more than one for themselves or as gifts.
- Stock Both Angles in Your Best Sellers: If you only stock 45°, you will lose every straight-tube customer. If you only stock 90°, you will lose every beaker customer. Cover both in your top two or three models.
At CloverGlass, every ash catcher on this list is available for wholesale ordering with factory-direct pricing, low MOQ, and fast shipping from our LA warehouse. Mix & match any styles to reach the $1,200 wholesale threshold.
