i fell u !! i miss my lil 12in orange label beaker it wus perfect !! had to to sell to get more glass .... the glass world is revolved around every1 selling there glass to any1 possible ...its AWESOME ...
Is the RooR in this picture fake? It's from a store that's owned by this Dion guy who is the president of the company that makes Chills acrylic bongs in Canada. On the Facebook page, he keeps talking about RooRs being in stock etc..but my connect told me they are fake and they have a picture of a RooR on the Facebook with the classic fake dot sig... He says they are from Germany as well.
corrput look at the the perc in the pic its crooked with roors quality control that owuld have not have gone through unless it wus .us ...who did not
A "new" roor is a roor blown at the new shop, not necessarily a recently made tube. Since the "new" shop is the same shop where ZOB tubes are made, "zob roor" seems to obey the laws of transitive relations and is therefor logical terminology. We can disagree all day, ultimately it doesn't matter. My tubes shouldn't be any indication of my intelligence, but yes I do own roor products, and I try to stay informed. That is fake.
roor.us was just revived by ZOB. It is still the "RooR" name, but the tubes are being blown by the ZOB blowers, not the old US roor blowers. from my understanding most of the old RooR.us blowers are now doing sheldon black. They are still high quality, but i wouldnt say they are the same as the old us roors
As stated that is a fake Roor On the ROOR US debate : The guys from Dementia, Mike Fro, etc (RooR US) now are doing Sheldon Black Any and all good ideas (bent neck, tree perks, etc) all came from RooR US which caused some riffs with RooR.de and RooR.us I totally agree with Walter on his point he is making...it comes down to quality The guys that make ZOB tubes are now doing RooR stuff as well (That is why I am currently securing a Dementia RooR US dealers cup 7mm bistable FP pure smoke kulture label before they are all gone...I will post pics within the next 2 weeks once it is in my hands) I for one feel that RooR US is effectivly dead and so do many others RooR.de is the only thing I would get from this point forward unless some things change. I might not have many posts as I am new but I have kept up with the glass scene for 10+ years
I don't understand why you are talking and acting as if you are better then me or anyone else. You don't need to give me smart ass comments explaining shit to me. And until you can give me something that is a credited source that states that the same people that blow ZOB tubes are also now blowing R00R tubes then I will believe you. I heard this just like the rest of us but I don't believe it. I don't think the people that blow for ZOB are blowing for R00R now. And I was asking for your opinion on what a "new" R00R was, because I already know. You act like I don't know, I wrote this thread I think I know a little bit about what a R00R is. And when I say "new" I mean "new style" not like new being they just bought it. Someone can say I just got a new bong but I am talking about when someone comes on and says I got one of the "NEW" R00Rs.. and yes of course that means that it is supposedly one of the "NEWER" model R00Rs that is coming out but to be honest we don't even know if they are. All we know is what people say and what head shop owners tell the people that buy them. Rumors go far and that is why they are called rumors so a head shop owner could easily say.. "Oh this is one of those new ZOB R00Rs and it is so awesome, extra $50 bucks!" Or whatever, and then that guy will come back to the forums and tell everyone that it is a ZOB R00R and then everyone will look and believe. R00R came out with a press release saying that the people that use to blow R00R were now stopping and blowing Sheldon Blacks and that a new company would be in charge of R00R US products and that would be Suite G Distribution. No one knows who that is or anything but that is why it says on the website. I think if ZOB which is a pretty well known company was to start producing them then I think that R00R would come out with a statement on their website saying this and announcing it. Everything that I stated is information that has been on the R00R website and come directly from R00R not from someone on a forum, or head shop owner. And also it was unnecessary to be an asshole and say that just because you have a R00R doesn't mean you are intelligent. That was not at all what I was trying to say. I was trying to say that SINCE you have a R00R I am sure you are familiar with the brand, and how things work. Be easy
Actually, Walter is correct, ZOB has the rights to use the Roor name, they got it from Germany when Roor.us closed. Here is one of the new Roor's btw. One of the guys on TC, who is like the SJ of TC when it comes to selling glass, got the word from Dementia themselves, Roor.us has been closed, but ZOB is still making tubes, they are just not calling themselves Roor.us anymore:ZOB is the new RooR.USA - TokeCity
I know. I have seen that tube also on TokeCity but do we for sure know where it came from besides what the owner of it says about it. Hasn't Dementia done R00Rs with outlined logos before? And after posting that long ass response I did look around and came across the same link from Schieze over at TokeCity and he did say that he had heard it from Dementia and staff. And he is a very trustworthy person and I don't think he is lying, I am sure that one of his friends over there did tell him that. But honestly like what MadScientist said in his post that it is still a one sided story which is true so we don't know for sure. We just know from what he hear from other people. I try to keep an open mind and not narrow in on things unless they are for sure. We for sure know that Dementia used to be blowing the .US R00Rs and we know that they have now stopped and went to using a new name Sheldon Black. And we have all heard the rumors of who will be blowing the new ones and such since everyone is so interested in R00R but we don't know for sure who it is. So until I see it come out of Germanys mouth then I don't want to narrow in and tell people that ZOB for sure is the new blowers of R00R. I don't think you mean it like this.. because if that were true then there would be no new R00Rs at all just new ZOB tubes and those wouldn't have to do anything at all with R00R. I hope you meant to say that Dementia is not calling themselves R00R.US anymore. Be easy
I wasn't trying to come off like that, perhaps I didn't re-read my own posts for tone, sorry for the confusion.
So I went to a local headshop yesterday, not that noteworthy really, they don't have any good shit. Well I've suspected this place of selling fake Roors for a while now and yesterday I decided to confirm my suspicions. They only had Green, orange, and yellow labels and EVERY ONE had that sig with the dots around the joint. And they had like 10, all of seemingly uniform thickness. Some pics: This piece is a bowl to downstem, all one piece, stamped Roor around the bowl part. This made me cringe. Also, you can literally see the curve in the glass. I tried to confront the worker directly, but clearly she didn't know what I was talking about, just some college student who didn't know shit about glass. So I snapped these pics as a warning to everyone else, fuck the headshop HIGHER ED in FORT COLLINS, COLORADO. Don't go there. Lastly, guess how much they were charging for these fake beaker bottoms? $240. Two hundred and forty fucking dollars.
Word man I hear ya. Lots of shops overcharging for non legitimate Roor Pieces. Standard crap you'll see at a headshop. I've seen a beaker just like that at a headshop near my school. It's fucked up how corrupt headshops are getting.
I feel you man. I feel like all head shops are just about money now and not trying to get good glass.
Yea dude, it's really lame. I remember being in a headshop by me and the guy working it telling me how his glass is real meanwhile it obviously wasn't. You know how that whole story went lol. It's really trashy to do stuff like that. It sucks because you can see non-legitimate stuff popping up everywhere, like that's supposed to happen? I understand how it's hard to make dough nowadays but at least have the curtsy to not lie to costumers. I'll admit to being ripped off, thankfully I took that shit back while it was brand new untouched and was able to get an exchange. It felt shitty though like after the whole ordeal. But it's all good, rock the roor.de from EDIT now.
my LHS carried one like that but it was a reall beaker bottom american roor diffy downstem,, not a whole piece stem to bowl thats a big give away funny how far they take it..
That's what some of the a/c come with, all the ones at my LHS had them like that, but the label must be white, anything else will be fake. Roor.us never used any coloring on their a/c and many other accessorie's labels, if i'm not mistaken. OH, and 2,000th post btw!!! Much love GC .
Yeah at a local head shop near me this fucking idiot was trying to tell me his R00R was 4mm and that German and US R00Rs were of the same quality. And then another guy told me it was illegal to import that Volcanos so they had the Fuji Volcano and said it was way better and so much more legit. BYEEEEEEE!
For what it's worth, a lot of these fake roors are slung by traveling salesmen who make rounds at shops all across the country, and they are able to dupe a lot of less specialized smoke shop owners. 42* would throw these guys out, but Bob's Pipe and Tobacco doesn't know the difference. Something to consider.
