Glycerin Swirl Ash Catchers by Elev8 are a very effective solution for cooling your vapor and are best when used for dry hits (no water bubbler required). The main body of the Ash Catcher houses the Glycerin which has a glass spiral that passes down through it and provides maximum cooling from the stored Glycerin surrounding it. There is a plug on the back of the body which can be used to change the Glycerin (not required) or if desired the clear Glycerin can be decanted, a little dye or food colouring added and mixed in, then refilled to add some colour to the setup!
The Glycerin Swirl Ash Catcher can be mounted directly onto a glass rig/bubbler with your bowl/banger placed on top, or can be used natively with a J-Hook as a mouthpiece if preferred, for this setup you'll also need a keck clip or sick clip to hold the J-Hook in place. For many bubbler setups a glass extender style adapter (e.g. 18mm female to 18mm male) will be required for successful mounting as there is not much space between the glass joint and main body of the Ash Catcher.
Alternatively they can be used with a whip as the mouthpiece, with a whip adapter and clip; and your vaporizer setup mounted on top... Or even as an in-line setup with whips and whip adapters, much like the vapor tamer! For an in-line setup you would need a female joint angled whip adapter, a clip, whip and either a straight male joint whip adapter (18mm only) or a male joint angled whip adapter! There really is no need to attach these to a bubbler for additional cooling as they are very effective when used alone.

Please note
- These are fairly heavy so should only be used on stable and strong glass rigs. If used like this it's advisable, if used with a ball vape or similar heavy housing, to always hold the housing in place then remove it after use to avoid damaging your glassware. Generally we would advise that these should be used natively without a bubbler to avoid unintentional catastrophes!
- There is not a lot of space between the 14mm or 18mm joint and the main body of the Glycerin Swirl Ash Catcher so compatibility with bubblers/rigs is limited.
