The showerhead percolator brings a whole new level of diffusion to your rips, which is something any bong owner can benefit from. The showerhead ash catcher is one that looks a lot like a showerhead, with a bunch of tiny little holes on the bottom of the glass. The smoke and water travel through these little holes, creating a lot of bubbles. Those bubbles are what diffuse your smoke, making your rips nice and smooth.
- Tree Ash Catcher
The tree ash catcher is actually pretty cool. No, it doesn’t look exactly like a tree, but it does have a tree percolator inside of it. This ash catcher is rather similar to the showerhead ash catcher. The percolator housed within this ash catcher has a circle of multiple long tubes of glass, all with small slits in the bottom. The slit is what creates the diffusion within this ash catcher. Its diffusion is just as good as maybe even better than the showerhead percolator. All this considered, you do not have to get an ash catcher that has a percolator in it. The purpose of the ash catcher is to catch ash, the diffusion is just an added perc.
