Hot damn lpski! That thing is killer, I love chaotic style. Any idea on the blower? Whoever made that has some skills, sick as hell for 2003. Neat shaping too.

yeah the blower has mad skills.. wish I knew who it was.. maybe I could track it down through the store i bought it from someday. Its an awesome piece.. really rips hard.

The only reason i bought this jar is because while i was at the roor shop in ambsterdam. i said can i see one of those jars and are they nice, the lady says watch this and then you decide if u want one. she throws the jar 8 feet up in the air and lets it drop to the hard wood floor and u guys could figure out the rest. let me just say it didnt break! strongest glass in the world and every german roor is made with it.



you know the usa roors are made with the saem glass that germ uses

and the roorclaw drawing hasnt been pulled yet so who knows im still really hopin for it

Dr. G whatup bro i hope u win that claw i would love to see a milk shot of one of those ive tryed emailing bearclaw about that but i havent heard back from him. i said basicly is their any way i could get my hands on a roor claw and how much i like his work and so fourth. but i have to disagree with you their ive read and heard alot different and when i said i heard something i was in the roor shop in the dam she asked me if i like the roors in the states and told her how i fell and in my answere at one point I said the fell of a german made roor is alot different and she said that because we use stronger glass. and i have used roor usas and i can just tell its a little different.but ive also read alot different on TokeCity as well when i was a member u could go check out that thread its a popular one on that site.underglassware their were some things said about were roor usas glass was from as well but i wont repeat that cause i dont know if its entirely true but i would not doubt it.

I have quite a few different Roors, a Blue Dot Zong, a Hurricane, PH(x) trinity and a few bubblers, I have put them all in my gallery.

Has anyone tried a SNOB bong I saw them on EDIT, please tell me what you think about them if you have, they seem expensive but they look cool!

amsterdamnesia nice ill check out your collection. i saw those tubes their pretty cool but i dont like that marble on the bottom under the diffy. other then that shit is real nice. hey i checked out your glass i like what i see, but i really like your gold roor with the mouth pieace and the gold ice notches and bowl. is that a german i take it and how much did that set ya back.
peace man

RooR Head-I know exactly what you mean about the marble I thought it was a bit of a strange placement, if anyone who has used a snob bong could give me a mini review I'd be really grateful as I'm seriously considering one as my next purchase.

My gold roor AKA gold binger is a german custom and cost about 875 Euros, it is:
7mm, 18.8mm little sista
Gilded crown mouth piece
10cm Extension
2 Reductions
Flame polished logo
Gilded notches
5mm Ashcatcher
Flame polished logo
Gilded crown bowl
and I got a free gilded stash jar which is pretty cool.
If I had to do anything different I would probably have got the gold and diamond logos rather than the flame polished. If money was no object what would you have?

Doug Marsh-I got my blue dot zong from weedcity.com about 7 years ago, I was chatting to Gorilla and he mentioned he had one (it wasn't on their webpage), it is a mighty beast of a pipe, mine holds well over a litre of water an has about 2 meters of bent tubing, it's 9mm thick glass at the top but the bottom bubble feels breakably (is that even a word?) thin.

nope. any tubes that's color stock is from china.

I'm glad your 'disclaimer' says that all your posts are ideas for a fictional novel. Clear color (amber, cobalt, see through green, etc.) are Chinese sourced...most 'crayon' colors, and for the most part all colors used by reputable U.S. artists are manufactured in the U.S. Northstar, glass alchemy, etc.

Far as the snob bongs go, in my mind it's just a company trying to capitalize on the growing number of people dropping money on 'heady' tubes. If I'm gonna drop $1000 on a tube, I better be getting a lot more than a couple dome percs and a little color thrown in. Get yourself a nice german off the same site if anything. IMO they're 'faux headies', not to mention the name seems to be poking fun at their target market.

all this bitching and arguing is getting ridiculous, this thread is called "post your piece" not "dick-size and argue about roors"

Thanks for the review, can you tell me what it smokes like? and if they are difficult to clean? I already have a few nice german pieces thanks, but this offers something different ie: the percs/colouring. I don't think the name really matters, I'm just interested in the quality and the design. If I could I would buy a toro but I can't seem to find them on any website that ships to the UK.

Amsterdam: Wasn't really a review, never hit a Snob (unless we're talking about females),, but I've hit too many tubes to count and applying that experience to the pics I see of Snob, IMO it's worth nowhere near the price they're asking. If you have a US Roor dealer around you, could get a tree perc for about half the price. The snobs look like drag-city, and again, if I'm dropping $1000 on a tube it better at least hit nice.

Space Ghost: hopefully the pointless Roor debate is behind us...but I do like the discussion/debates taking place in this thread. Only place on this site where the glassheads can come and express their personal opinions, so of course there's gonna be debate and differences. Long as we keep it civil, see no problem with it.

Thank you.

Tony you obviously don't know shit about glass and where the manufacturers get it. Any crayon color, striking color, oxidizing, or reducing color is usually from a reputable manufacturer.

I'm sure base model Roors come stock with absolutely no color in them so I don't even know what your trying to prove. Roor isn't going to take the chance on shitty cheap glass when they are making a worked tube, they sell for far too much for it to be worth the chance of having a checked or cracked piece.

And RooRhead you should know that you can take very little from the internet for granite. People love to start rumors and slander on the internet, it happens single day.

For some reason my zong got shipped to my billing address not my shipping address so now it has to be mailed again. Should be here on monday or tuesday. God I'm ready for some bong hits again!

Yeah, you should enjoy the BD. Had a BD straight tube with question-mark perc few years back. Defintely wasn't a roor tree perc, but it was a real nice tube in its own way. Solid and a real nice ripper.

Was gonna grab a huge (3ft?) BD zong from the same shop, but the bubble base was about 1 mm thick. Think it's because they felt like they had to put a huge bubble on it to balance out the towering zongness...thinking your's is gonna be real nice. This was probably four-five years back and I've heard BD has stepped up their game even more since then.

AmsterdamnesiA: That's an excellent selection of pipes and vapes you got there. Which are your favorites, the ones you use the most?
I like your gold accented Roor too. It's not the same gift set that edit has for sale, that one was a custom white lines lil sista. But I think the gold accented roors are more expensive. They have one there now that's like $4750. :joint:
