Best place to buy a Roor?
#7388620 - 09/09/07 03:58 PM (16 years, 4 months ago) |

So I decided that I'm going to buy a roor brand bong to celebrate the start of school. So anyone know the best place online to get a Roor or similar high grade bong for the best price?

Lies. Roor is the best. I've had mine for oh, 4 or 5 years, and I got it off a friend who had it 2 years before that. Don't get a super huge one, and make sure you buy black label. The color of writing can correlate to the thickness of the glass. Look online, see what the prices are compared to your local head shop. Do some googling, so you don't waste your money.

Well the one I'm looking at now would run me about 120 and has nice thick glass, a 2 foot chamber, and none of the extra frills that I don't need. I'm also looking for some place to order online so I can have it shipped to my future home where I'm moving to friday. I'd rather have a nice bong waiting for me when I arrive then have to go out and search through local head shops

well, roors are cheaper from the german source, by a significant amount, but I can't read german and I'm not sure how much the shipping would be

Yeah, that's where I was looking at first, but the german site is cheaper. Well, they're all priced the same but the german site is in euros whereas everyonedoesit is in pound, so therefore more expensive.

So As I said, You should get the black label for thickness. Its 5mm glass. The one you have chosen is 3.5 mm glass. Does it matter? Well I guess it depends how long you want to keep the bong. I had a friend who got one, it might have been the same one, it was wrecked in less than a year of owning in. He is one of the most careful people i know, and the inny piece got all chipped. It looked like someone took a metal file to it. Buy a locally made cheap bong if you want a cheap bong.

£100 is steep, so it better be good. Sounds like it is, though. I should pick up a bong myself one of these days. If it's as good as it looks, I'm sure it won't disappoint.

At least you do clean it. I feel 5.0 mm is the way to go. The thinner ones are lighter, and I just feel they aren't quality and are lacking structural integrity.

My friend, very meticulous guy
has 3.5 mm roor < 1 year
stem piece looks like its been hacksawed from other stem piece hitting it between tokes.
My friend is a VERY METICULOUS guy.

You may be right... Stizzle, where did you get yours? Online or at a head shop? Also how hard would you say the 5.0 is to break? Will it stand up to being dropped on hard floor?

Oh nevermind, I get what you're saying. You're saying that 3.5 will chip easily right? Hmm... you're probably right, but I really am not sure if throwing another 100 bucks into the bong investment is fiscally wise. I want to have enough money for day to day life in college, and my bank account isn't all that well stocked.

You do know that those prices on everyonedoesit are also in english pounds? You might want to check the exchange rate before you buy.
I can't say anything glass won't break if you drop it on a hard floor.

If that one was in stock, it would be the one!
I like the Erlenmeyer flask looking ones better than the graduated cylinder looking ones, because they have more volume for water. You don't want the water to taste like shit after two hits. Also the extra volume accommodates melting ice cubes well.

here is my view on the roor...my buddy has the king roor, i dunno what makes it special but it is.. you can buy one without the name on it that hits basically the same BUT the roor has that little extra zing, it hits and clears a lot smoother. If u have the money buy a roor if not go generic

I've smoked out of a roor before, and IMO there seems to be a PSEUDO direct correlation between brand names/price and "hitting efficiency". I don't need to spend more than the price of fucking weed to get high. If I really wanted to splurge, I could buy a very nice glass bubbler for 50 bucks and call it a day.
I'm one to talk. My glass collection adds up to over a thousand bucks, all presents from my girlfriend. Still, my mind is made up. When someone tells me they got so ripped off of hitting a roor or PHX I just laugh and tell them I get just as high, just as comfortably, hitting my 50 dollar bubbler and not having to go through all the trouble of breaking out my expensive ass bong, filling it, loading it with ice, worrying about it breaking, and then cleaning the huge fucker when it gets dirty. Hell, to be perfectly honest with you I prefer my 6 dollar one hitter crack pipe to any of my other pieces because it is way more efficient, way less noticeable, and a shit load cheaper.
Not that I wouldn't give you mad props for having a roor, I'd just rather smoke out of yours and not deal with it than go through any of that if you know what I mean.
Just my two cents.

This one is the one for me. Cheap, (compared to a RooR of similar size and thickness), and 7.0 should be solid as a rock. But then there's also this. I like the shape of this one better, and I think the inverted joint will make it harder to break small pieces. Both are nicely more affordable then RooR's

i completely agree...my buddy payed like 450 for his. stupid imo! and like you said i get way ripped off of his bong and come home and roll up a spliff. If you really wanted to you can buy the cheaper bong and buy like an ounce with the money you would have spent on a roor.

Nah, I like the simplicity of RooR's and the like. But anyway, I settled on the Smile bong with the inverted joint. I figure it'll be nice to have some added security incase my bong falls over.

Roor is definitely the best thing I have EVER smoked out of they are fucking great. The only thing that sucks is that no matter what thickness you get the part where the stem goes in is is all the same thickness and unfortunately that is the most vulnerable part of the bong. I've seen more than 1 roor broken at that piece and it sucks ass. If you buy in the US green is the thickest 7.0mm I think.
Has anyone here ever used one of those triple perc PHX bongs? I'm curious to know how those hit. I was considering buying one but they look like a serious pain in the ass to clean.

I own a tripple perc phx and it hits great. First couple time I wasn't used to it and got so damn high I was almost tripping. Its not any harder to clean then any other bong either. Just pour in salt and rubbing alcohol and shake it up and pour it out. Rinse and it looks and tastes like new.

My girl hitting "X". They ARE a pain in the ass to clean.

Really? No matter if you have the reciept, or how old it is?
Yes from what I hear, if you ship it to them. I don't know how much.

Brand name, expensive or not.. RooRs are fucking quality. My friend has had a 7.0 mm Icemaster (identical to the pics above), for the better part of 4 years. He takes care of it and it still looks as good as hits just as smoothly as the day he bought it. We have a million generic glass pieces from various sources... but the RooR is always the top pick when we want to get stoned. It's smoother and gives more efficient tokes than any of our other pieces hands down. ROOR is FTW.
