New Universal Reclaim Catcher

The New Universal Reclaim Catcher from VapeBrat eliminates the entire sizing scenario. The universal reclaim catcher is compatible with every size dab rig and banger joint, whether it's 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm. Although the universal reclaim catcher is compatible with every size dab rig and banger joint, it is not compatible with all genders. The universal reclaim catcher is only available with male adapters, so if you have a male dab rig, you will still need to get a gender adapter to make the universal reclaim catcher compatible with the dab rig or banger. 

The universal reclaim catcher is available in either a 90-degree or 45-degree joint angle. You must match the reclaim catcher joint angle to that of your dab rig. If you have a 45-degree angle dab rig, you must get the 45-degree universal reclaim catcher; likewise, if you have a 90-degree dab rig joint, you will need to get the 90-degree universal reclaim catcher.
