Ash Catcher bowl flooding?

[SkyHigh420]

so i got a new piece recently and its one where the stem is permanently locked into the piece. Each time i try to use an ash catcher on it when i go to hit it the water level in the catcher raises as i put my mouth to the bong and soaks the bowl. So my question is could i be filling the ashcatcher wrong or somethin? im not too experience with using them but im pretty sure if u just pour water into the stem of it or bowl to fill it would be fine. Also im wondering maybe theres something about this piece that would cuase this to happen? could it be that the stem is locked in or something? I fucked with the water levels a bunch and nothing seemed to help...

you only want water up to bottom of them stem..
and hit it softly, not like your a whore sucking a golf ball thru a straw.. mine did the same thing.:bonghit::smokebong:

haha k. i had a piece before this tho and didnt have this problem at all although the stem was not permanently attatched as with this one. but thanks i guess haha. And its not that im hitting it really hard cause im not, its just like the pressure or something when i put my mouth to the bong and get that sort of suction that causes the water in the catcher to raise up the catchers stem and into the bowl, or at least thats wut it seems. if anyone else knows what im talking about please let me know. By the way my piece is WRKD glass on glass. thx.

Wow, Illisnois that is SICK!!

How does that bowl work? Is that another bubbler on your attachment?

I've never been really huge into bongs...

It's a ash catcher. It helps the smoke be smoother, along with the percolator and ice added onto it.
