I wish I could post more fakes but I haven't seen any new ones show up in a while... Good news I guess?
I know, I haven't been seeing many either. I am about to make a thread soon and post pictures of my RooR and Volcano so lets see if people bash mine. Haha, have a nice Christmas brotha..
I guess thats good news. and for sure this has helped a bunch of people find out if theyre roors, or prospective purchases are fake. It certainly was much harder for me to find solid info to figure out if the roor's i was lookin at were real (altho those were some really good fakes so much harder to figure out)
Saw a fake RooR thread today, if they have only read this thread before going into the head shop I don't think they would have come home with it.
This thread needs bumping bad... and I have something really important to address. Thanks to this thread and others like it on other forums, we all know that the "dots around the joint" sig is the most popular fake sig of them all. What many don't know is why this fake sig appears so often. A while back, I thought that there must be an original, genuine sig that looks something like the fake one or the fake wouldn't be effective. Lo and behold, when I went looking for a genuine "dots around the joint" sig... I found several. This is the real deal boys and girls. The good news is that counterfeiters do not pay attention to detail. The fake "dots around the joint" sig is easily differentiated from the genuine just by looking at the two side by side. The real ones usually have 4 dots all the same color or 5 with one being a different color than the rest. The fake ones are all one color and appear spaced out more so than the real deal. See if you can find the genuine "dots around the joint" ROORs lurking amongst the rest on these shelves from my LHS.
thats a fuck ton of Roor's. I never knew that sig could be legit. thanks for sharing that info. i do see a usa label with that sig on it.
That is a lot of RooRs. I wish my LHS had that many RooRs to choose from. But thanks for posting this, I think either you or someone else had told me once that there was a original of the dots hugging the joint sig, so thanks for bringing the light the original so we can all better educate everyone about RooRs.
Neither did I until I went looking. I figured it had to be real since every other aspect of fake tubes is an attempted replication of the real deal. I guess that particular counterfeiting organization must have only had one genuine piece to copy from and it just happened to have the "dots around the joint" sig on it. It was me but I didn't have pictures to post then. I may just be the only one to have noticed. As unlikely as that may sound, I've looked far and wide for information on this sig and the fake one to no avail. No one else seemed to acknowledge that the sig could be real... not even Ninja, MadCity or Scheize on TC!!! These pictures were hard enough to find... I'm guessing this sig isn't used often.
Wait... really? Given Martin's statement, it sounded like this wasn't really going to happen. He alluded to all ROOR's having a common source. Now I'm downright confused
Man... the ROOR.us and ROOR.de press releases do not make sense together. We're supposed to be seeing one new streamlined ROOR international. Instead we've got .de still kicking and the ZOB crew now blowing ROOR USA tubes. Da fuck?
Nope apparently Zob is now, thats what a bunch of people have been saying, and 42 degrees here was too. That seems like it might be one of the new ones, anyone heres the thread on tc if you wanna take a look. https://tokecity.com/forums/showthread.php4?t=33015 This whole thing is getting pretty confusing.. the statement said it was gonna be an international line and now they just let zob release what they want.. huh..?
