A molasses catcher is a small, useful container that is either inserted or screwed under the shisha plate or directly under the shisha head. It catches excess molasses and tobacco leaves that flow down from the head. This not only prevents your shisha from getting dirty, but also keeps the water in the bowl clean, as the molasses stays in the collecting basin and does not get into the water. While the smoke continues unhindered through the channels into the smoke column, the molasses remains behind.
Features and variants
Molasses catchers not only serve a practical purpose, but are also a visual upgrade for your shisha. They can be decorative and serve as a real eye-catcher.
Many molasses catchers have an 18.8 cut , which fits modern shishas with the same standard. If your shisha does not have an 18.8 cut , our universal clip-on molasses catchers offer a practical solution, as they fit almost all models.
There are also molasses catchers that are larger than 18.8 , such as the Baba brand.
Molasses catchers are made from a variety of materials, including glass, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic and carbon.
The sizes vary from small to large to those that are integrated directly into the smoke column.
The colors are coordinated with every shisha, whether silver, gold, black or colorful. You are sure to find the right molasses catcher in the color that matches your shisha.
Take a look at our Dschinni molasses catchers in particular, which stand out from other models both in terms of quality and functionality.
Hints, tips and tricks
If you are using a glass molasses catcher , you should pay special attention to how you assemble the head. First remove the plate before placing the head with a gasket on top and then placing the plate on the molasses catcher . This will prevent the molasses catcher from being unable to withstand the pressure when the head is put on and possibly being damaged.
With these tips and the right molasses catcher, you can not only make the smoking experience with your shisha cleaner and more efficient, but also enhance it visually.
