The only one making stuff up is you.. you have no idea what your talking about Ive been in this industry had to go to endless conventions for it all because of work, your misleading people looking for genuine help because you want attention on the internet. Pathetic.
Glad for a fresh set of eyes! Good catch on the ice pinches. I think you may be correct. I'm gonna take some time to look over some of my pictures and see if that really is a good determinant of authenticity. From memory, I think all the ones I've seen have two pinches on either side of the joint and one in the back. How far the pinches go in is not a good determinant of authenticity because it varies so much on real tubes. I have not seen those sigs on fakes before. I've seen one of them a lot on real tubes only. The other two I have never seen before. I have to assume there are many sigs that I have not seen... I'm a pretty young guy. Damn... fakes get better every day. If those are fakes they are the second best I've ever seen. Second only to the one's Toastytoast posted way back when. Still they're not good enough for the collective knowledge and observation of this thread. We stay game.. they can't win. Still real. There is no question about yours.
You are on page 41 of this thread trying to convince me that I'm wrong and trying to garner attention?! Um... clearly myself and others HAVE helped countless individuals ID their tubes. Up to this point, we have a 100% track record as a group. Mine personally on first answer is probably somewhere around 80-90%. I had to empty my pm box twice to keep up with people asking me to ID their tubes before this thread existed. We're providing a necessary service here. If you don't want it move along... but trying to convince us that we're not succeeding in IDing ROORs and that I'm just seeking attention is pure stupidity. Are you stupid? If not, you might want to alter your behavior because you are acting like a person that is stupid. I'm not the only one who can usually tell a real from a fake. Go try to convince Ninja, Scheize or MadCity from TC that it is not possible to identify reals from fakes. Again... get the fuck out of the thread. If you come back you'll just confirm your need for attention. Troll.
I work in a head shop, but I don't smoke. I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable, although we just got a complaint in about our Roor's being fake. We had no idea. At this point I'm thinking this idiot has been sending us fake Roor's all along and we are worried our customers are going to think it's us that's trying to screw them out of money. I know we're a head shop, but we are as professional as we can possibly be. We just like treating our customers right. Anyways, I took pictures of these Roor's and I just want someone who is clearly more educated than I am to make the assumption it's fake. That way I can call this douche bag who's been sending them to us and give him a few words. I also sent an email to a legit Roor distributor with the name of the company we've been getting them from hoping they can do something about keeping this from happening. The guys that came back to tell us it was fake bought a much larger piece, and unfortunately this isn't my shop so we best we could do was give him back $75. We can't take it back and we can't refund considering we were royally screwed over as well. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0467.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0468.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0469.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0470.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0471.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0472.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0473.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0474.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a113/krunkxkrew/IMG_0466.jpg I'm just annoyed. The guys that came back to tell us it was fake bought a much larger piece, and unfortunately this isn't my shop so we best we could do was give him back $75. We can't take it back and we can't refund considering we were royally screwed over as well.
Looks like you guys have some fakes there, overused signature, shallow joints, and slit diffy's, which haven't been around for awhile. You probably just have a contact with a chinese glass whiolesale agent, they have taken counterfitting to a new level here.
dude those look fake. but no offense, i have never heard of a shopowner not knowing they had fakes. if you are getting those from a wholesale website, more specifically a chinese one, then they are fake. however if you are geting them directly off of roor themselves then they are obviously real. BTW it is VERY hard to get roor in a shop, as i have heard from headshop owners that carry real, and headshop owners carrying fakes.
I just don't think the girl before me knew any better. This distributor told her one thing, and she believed it.
Oh and the guy we've been ordering from is Mike at Incognito. I'm in charge of ordering now, so I'll be referring to this site to see what people prefer. And NOT ordering from this guy anymore. Apparently he's shady.
u gotta ink to a website by any chance? i never heard of incognito... Call the guy out on the tubes and tell him whatsup
Just leave troll, your only fucking up this thread. I stand by Sensi, and know he knows what he is talking about. So don't try to come in here and tell us we don't, I also get my box blown up my messages trying to ID tubes, so thread is a much better solution, because none of us can be 100% accurate, it helps to have other peoples voices, so they can also make their opinion.
I'm not gonna multi-quote this time so bear with me. First of all, AFAIK ROOR does not use distributors. If you're buying genuine ROOR you're buying them from Dementia in California or Suite G. Period. If they came from anywhere else they are re-sold/marked up, used or fake. Those incognito ROORs are fake for sure. It's very easy to be misled into buying fake ROORs. Distributors everywhere are selling them as real... sometimes they don't even know. That's why this thread is so necessary.
They are fake. None of it looks right, thin lips, horn style slide with D-Cut Diffy and wafer thin bases
Let's not pile it on... all the things you just pointed out have appeared on genuine ROOR tubes exactly the way they appear in those pics.
Ok well have they used Chinese joints? The joints on those tubes are all the short tight angled joints like you find on import tubes and accessories. Plus the diffy is unlabeled.
Most of the time a RooR just jumps out at me as either fake or real, this time I would say the ice pinches really cut the cake on those roor's being fake, too pointy.
Well theres no way I'm going to buy one of those anyways. Rather go with something more fancy than a straight tube no percs for the ~150 price range. While people are going to argue that the glass quality isnt as good, Weed star has very competable prices compared to the mark up on some of these pieces that your are basically paying for the label.
Well of course he's "competitive" in pricing, he did'nt have to pay for any of his own R&D, lol. And he has no choice but to keep prices down, otherwise, why would anyone buy that garbage? He sure as hell isnt smart or ingenuitive enough to come up with idea's like a diffusor, or use of borosilicate. Which are reasons you buy his product, because of the features it offers for the price. I also see you try to justify the WS purchase by attributing only 1 superior feature of a Roor(the glass quality) over a WS. Sorry, but there is much more to it than just that my friend. It's no different than any other trade, you will have craftsman that have been doing it for 30yrs this way, then guys will come in and see it and start to learn the same technique, but it won't look nearly as good as the guy who has been doing it for 30.... Also, ppl try to justify with, "if it gets you high, then its no different" Well, a 1979 Ford Pinto will get you to the grocery store just as nice as a 2010 Lexus, but which 1 gets you there in comfort and style? Just don't be suprised or upset when other ppl notice the lack of comfort and style from your pinto...
Huh? You can't even see the whole joint in that picture to make that statement. And the diffy comes out of the tube... what makes you certain the two shipped together? I'm not trying to say I know they're real... because I don't. I do know that if they aren't they've at least done a good job of staying inside of some of ROOR's standards. Which tube? I haven't seen one in question with pointier pinches than ROOR does. You sound like you might need to read my sig. ROOR may not be the best bong brand ever but comparing them to one of the worst doesn't make any sense. And let's not start this paying for the label garbage... you're wrong for about 20 different reasons and we are not going to rehash them here. If that's all you got to say, find another thread to say it. What don't people understand about you get what you pay for?
