Not technically a bong, but 95% of the stuff in here isn't technically "the nicest" of anything....

You can hit it like a straight pipe/hammer, clear it like a bong, or hit it all slow-like and watch the smoke pool up before pulling the 'stem' and clearing the chamber through it like a shotgun.

Not a bong, but similar, and very nice...
 
thats pretty sick alaskan.

whats so bad about a roor?
apparently it's not shitty chinese glass, and so not worthy of some of the scrubs in this forum. i should have figured it'd be hard to talk sense to a bunch of people who don't know jack shit about glass, i didn't realize just how much stupidity i'd run into as a result

It makes people say things like this:

... when in reality, a bong is a bong... and doesn't need to be incredibly expensive.

In short, it seems that a majority of roor fans are among the most brainwashed, stuck-up, arrogant people in all of stonerdom... I'd like to blame it on the company.

scrubs? dont know shit? come on man...thats definitely out of line

RooRs are real good man. The german ones are notorious for being of higher quality. The Rasta label you got from everyonedoesit should be fine; they have a good rep. Its only 2.5mm thick tho so don't drop that bitch!

bahaha, if being well informed about the quality of glass that you're buying makes you stuck up and arrogant, then i'd rather be an arrogant prick than fuck around with shitty glass.
and you're entirely incorrect, all bongs are not created equal, the difference between a shitty chinese tube and a German RooR is night and day. if anyone else in this thread has ever had the chance to place a 5mm Illadelph straight next to a RooR.de 5mm straight of comparable price, you'd know what i'm talking about, because there is a visible difference in the quality of the work and a very percievable difference in the performance

.de and .us also make 5mm rasta labels, i had one for a while



the perception that people who defend RooR.de's quality are "haters" and "stuck up" comes mainly from the fact that there is a surprisingly large number of people who can't tell the difference between chinese prodo and high quality boro, and don't like being told that they paid $350 for a peice of shit. anyone who knows what's up won't hesitate to choose RooR over Illadelph, and the scrubs who don't know any better are going to get their feelings hurt, but that's the way it goes

That suprisingly large number of people are called the majority.

It all drops the same.

since when does simple majority support make something irrefutable? the majority of Americans think that Islam is a violent, anti-american religion, but they're completely wrong

and saying that all glass is the same because it breaks if you drop it is like saying all cars are the same if you drive them off a cliff. it's almost entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand

Your analogy is more than perfect. It's as useless as the next one when you drive it off of a cliff.... now, how much did you pay for that car?

I believe I can pull a bonghit out of any bong that isn't broken.

I don't want to hurt your feelings. I'll stay out of this thread.

You can continue to talk up your Ferrari of fragile perfection while I burn this doobie on the way to work... a job that I earn money at. Money I'm not wasting on roors.
 
that's ridiculous, and completely unhelpful to the topic of the thread and the discussion. if you have a real reason for disliking RooR.de other than the fact that in your opinion their customers are pricks, by all means, put it forth. otherwise, take your opinions elsewhere. and don't make the mistake of thinking that my position on this is just an opinion, i've already explained why Illadelph is substantially inferior to RooR.de. i'm talking about facts here

i never said i dont like roor.de

I said comparing illadelph to roor.us and ehle is retarded

Plus all these "FACTS" dont seem to have any information behind them than you telling us.

Like i said illys blowers are all scientific glass certified and to think that they are not using the same quality glass are roor.de is also retarded.

Illys customs are way better than any of roor.de's customs. so if you want to sit here and be so snobby about glass go ahead ,but we all know the truth.

see whos pipe last longer man. guarantee the 9milly will
 
actually, as i've said, RooR.de, Ehle, Toro, SG, and all the other high end companies not only use better materials (Ultra-pure Schott's boro, instead of cheap chinese made boro) but construct their peices better, and have higher standards for quality control. these are not my opinions, and if you're looking for proof, do what i just suggested, compare an Illadelph to any RooR.de side by side, in every category you can think of. the Illadelph will fall short of the .de 9 out of ten times, and do you know why i can say that? because i've done this, several times, with different tubes, and there has been almost no contest. i have yet to hit a .de that wasn't not only exquisitely crafted, but performed extremely well. conversely, i have yet to hit an Illadelph that wasn't visibly flawed and was less than satisfactory in terms of performance. if you can find me an Illadelph that legitimately competes with RooR.de, you can call me a stuck up prick, but until then quit talking out of your ass

Usually that's decades/centuries after the 'artist' has died, and the public has had time to make their own interpretations of the designs.

A mass produced (it's custom bro) straight gauge glass tube pressed onto a conical piece, with a standardized hole and a lip at the end is a bit different...

its funny that the only place i can find saying they use cheap glass is you.

show me somewhere that says this info that you supposedly have.

All i know is i have also hit them side by side and there isnt any difference, but your the one talking out of your ass
