A small cap that covers the opening of a banger's bucket. Smoke Cartel's definition is a cap that "covers your banger's opening to control airflow and trap heat".

What size carb cap fits a 25 mm banger?

One whose listing says it fits 25 mm bangers. Here, the Wigwag Maria top ball cap lists 25 to 30 mm bangers and the two-tone bubble trap cap lists 25 to 35 mm.

Does the joint size matter for a carb cap?

No. A 14 mm joint is where the banger meets the rig. The cap sits on the bucket, so the bucket's width is the number that decides it.

Carb cap sizes: matching a cap to the bucket

Carb caps in stock whose listing states a bucket fit. Updated November 9, 2026.
Cap	Type	Fits buckets	Price
2.5" Wigwag Maria Top Ball Carb Cap	Ball	25 to 30 mm buckets	$16.49
2" Two-Tone Bubble Trap Carb Cap	Bubble trap	25 to 35 mm buckets	$18.99

These are the caps in stock whose listings give the bucket sizes they fit. Each one fits the bangers in its range.

The bucket decides, not the joint

A cap sits on the rim of the bucket, so the bucket's width is the number that matters. Smoke Cartel's caps page puts it this way: a rig's 14 mm joint "refers to the connection between the banger and the rig, not the opening the cap covers".

The cap rests on the rim. The bucket's width, not the joint, decides whether it fits.

Outside or inside: what "25 mm" means

Shops don't agree. QuartzBanger.com and Thick Ass Glass size a bucket from outer wall to outer wall. DankGeek's cap table calls the same 20, 25 and 30 mm figures the banger's inside diameter. Smoke Cartel says to measure across the outside edge, and AFM says the inner diameter of the opening is what matters.

So a bare "25 mm" can mean either. This site prints a bucket size the way the listing gives it, and calls it outside or inside only when the listing does.

The inch size in a cap's name

Most cap listings here name the cap by its overall size: 1.5 in, 2 in, 2.5 in, 3 in. That's the size of the cap itself, not a bucket size. Those caps' listings don't state a bucket fit, so they aren't in the table above, and no fit is printed for them anywhere on this site.

Caps that come with their banger

Some kits come with their cap. The crusher kits come with a matching cap and two terp pearls, the 120 mm competition set comes with a pillar and cap, and the slurper and tower sets come with their own marbles or caps. The banger types guide lists what's in each box.
