Athos Ashcatcher — VITAE Glass

The Athos Ashcatcher is the first ash catcher designed by VITAE Glass to pair seamlessly with VITAE bongs. Built to keep your piece cleaner for longer, it traps debris in its dedicated chamber so less ash and particulate travel into your bong, preserving flavor and reducing cleaning frequency.

Why Athos stands out

• Designed for seamless compatibility. Fits 14mm joints and works with straight or 45-degree joints. Fully compatible with all VITAE bases, including Beaker and Straight styles, ensuring a snug, secure setup.
• Efficient debris interception. The ratchet perc is engineered to catch ash and particulate early, so your bong stays cleaner and you spend less time scrubbing.
• Robust, artisan construction. Made from thick borosilicate glass to withstand daily use while maintaining a clear, premium look that pairs with the VITAE aesthetic.
• Flexible water options. Use with or without water. If you add water, fill just enough to touch the bottom of the perc to avoid overflow and preserve airflow. A quick test rip helps remove any excess liquid before your session.

How to use

To get the best performance from your Athos Ashcatcher, follow these simple steps:

1. Attach the ashcatcher to your 14mm joint as you would any compatible accessory.
2. Decide on water in the chamber. If using water, add just enough so the bottom of the perc is touched, then draw a test hit.
3. Adjust water level to taste. Remember, this device is designed primarily to trap ash; too much water can push into the main bong and dampen airflow.
4. After your session, rinse and dry the ashcatcher to maintain optimal performance and clarity.

Who it’s ideal for

Ideal for VITAE bongs owners who want to minimize ash buildup and frequency of deep cleaning. Great for daily users who value a clean-tasting hit and an unobstructed glide from bowl to bong. Whether you enjoy dry herbs or cannabis-related sessions, Athos helps preserve flavor by preventing ash and debris from reaching your main chamber.

Compared to alternatives

Unlike basic ash catchers, Athos employs a dedicated ratchet perc designed to intercept ash before it travels into the main piece, reducing cleaning time and extending the life of your bong’s interior. Its 14mm compatibility and full integration with VITAE bases mean no awkward fit or alignment issues—just a reliable, cohesive system that complements the VITAE ecosystem.

Care and maintenance tips

• Rinse after use to prevent residue buildup. For tough spots, soak briefly in warm water with a mild glass cleaner, then rinse thoroughly.
• Avoid harsh abrasives on the borosilicate surface to maintain clarity and strength.
• Store in a safe area where it won’t knock against hard surfaces—the thick borosilicate glass is sturdy, but proper care keeps it looking pristine.
