Reclaim Catchers

Reclaim Catchers — Cleaner Rigs, Smarter Dabs

Ever watched your precious wax slide down the rig and vanish? That’s your flavor, your money—gone. A Reclaim Catcher stops the waste before it starts, trapping every drop and keeping your glass crystal clear. Cleaner hits, longer-lasting rigs, and no more sticky cleanup — it’s the upgrade your dab setup has been waiting for.

What Is a Reclaim Catcher?

A reclaim catcher is a compact chamber that connects between your dab rig and banger or nail. When you heat your concentrate, not all vaporizes—some melts and drips downward. Instead of letting that sticky residue coat the inside of your rig, the catcher traps it in a detachable chamber for later reuse.

Inside the catcher, gravity and airflow work together to guide leftover vapor into a small container known as the reclaim jar. Once cooled, this “reclaim” can be reused for another dab, infused into edibles, or safely discarded. It’s an effortless way to keep your glass clean and your sessions smooth.

At PilotDiary, our reclaim catchers are designed with high-quality borosilicate glass and heat-resistant silicone bases, giving you durability, easy maintenance, and a sleek aesthetic that complements any rig.

🌿 Why You’ll Love Using One

• Save Every Drop – Collect usable wax that would otherwise go to waste.
• Keep Your Rig Cleaner – Prevent resin buildup in your downstem and joints.
• Better Flavor, Fresher Hits – No more burnt or stale residue in your airflow.
• Less Maintenance – Detachable jars make cleaning quick and hassle-free.
• Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective – Reuse, reduce waste, and save money in the long run.

Many users say their reclaim catcher pays for itself within weeks—and once you’ve used one, it’s hard to dab without it.

Types of Reclaim Catchers

Different setups call for different designs. Here are the main options you’ll find in our collection:

1. Glass Reclaim Catchers
Crafted entirely from borosilicate glass, these models provide excellent heat resistance and crystal-clear visibility, letting you watch every bit of reclaim collect in real time. Perfect for purists who value precision and aesthetic appeal.

2. Glass + Silicone Hybrids
These popular hybrids combine a glass chamber with a detachable silicone base or jar. Once full, the silicone container simply pops out for easy cleaning—ideal for daily dabbers who want convenience without sacrificing performance.

3. Ash & Reclaim Combo Catchers
For those who switch between concentrates and dry herbs, combo catchers handle both tasks. They filter ash while capturing excess wax, keeping your rig versatile and spotless.

Common Joint Options

• Sizes: 10 mm | 14 mm | 18 mm
• Angles: 45° for beaker-style rigs | 90° for straight-tube rigs
• Gender: Male or Female (choose the opposite of your rig’s joint)

Matching your joint type and size ensures perfect airflow, stable balance, and maximum flavor.

🔥 How to Use a Reclaim Catcher

Getting started is simple:

1. Attach the reclaim catcher to your rig’s joint.
2. Connect your banger or nail to the catcher’s top joint.
3. Heat and Dab as usual—the catcher will automatically collect excess concentrates.
4. Cool and Collect your reclaim by gently heating the jar or detaching it once cooled.

💡 PilotDiary Tip: Empty the reclaim jar regularly to avoid overflow and keep flavor fresh. Always let hot glass cool before removing or cleaning.

Maintenance & Cleaning

• Rinse glass parts with warm water or a dab-rig cleaner like Formula 420.
• Wash silicone jars by hand using mild soap and water.
• Never remove hot parts—temperature shock can cause cracks.
• Store reclaimed wax in an airtight silicone container to preserve quality.

Keeping your catcher clean not only extends its lifespan but also improves taste and airflow.

How to Choose the Right One

Finding the perfect reclaim catcher is all about compatibility and lifestyle:

1. Joint Type
Identify whether your rig’s joint is male or female, then choose the opposite connection. A tight fit prevents leaks and ensures smooth airflow.

2. Joint Size
Most dab rigs use 10 mm, 14 mm, or 18 mm joints.

• 10 mm – Compact rigs or micro dabs.
• 14 mm – The universal standard for most setups.
• 18 mm – Best for large, high-flow rigs.

3. Joint Angle

• 45° catchers pair with beaker or angled necks.
• 90° catchers fit straight-tube designs.

4. Material Preference

• All-Glass: Classic look, pure taste.
• Glass + Silicone: Easy to detach and clean; great for frequent use.

5. Extra Features
Look for options with detachable jars, silicone pucks, or built-in adapters for added convenience and versatility.
