Been thinking about getting this bong offline. What do you think of it? I was just wondering if anyone else here has ever ordered anything from this site and is it safe to order something such as a bong overseas. Site seems legit to me but always have to be safe. And before anyone says just go to a headshop and get 1 I'm not old enough to go into 1 yet but have a friend who will order it for me all i have to do is get the money. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

$150 for a bong. Are you fuckin kidding me?

Dude, what matters most is the weed you are smoking, not what you are smoking it in. All that is is a fuckin tube with a bowl on it.

You have probably never smoked through a RooR or another high-end bong then if you think that. It makes your smoking experience sooooo much nicer. Me and my friend are throwing down on a RooR Little Sista soon.

ive heard good things about EDIT. knock yourself out man, but know that going to your local shop is always better i think. buying bongs online is like buying shoes online. unless you know what exact size, make, model, color, ect than you have to go in and try that shit on and get a feel for it.

furthermore i have to say 150 is not very expensive for a nice glass piece. unfortunatly some of us are only willing to put down a couple bucks for a pack of zig zags for their smoking but some of us (who can afford it) want a little more. i happen to love glas, a lot and i spend a lot of money on my glassware. the last big purchase was about $300 for a phx and i love it everytime i see. ive never really had a bad session in the last 6 months. so treat your bud to a nice clean glass bong and enjoy yourself and fuck anyone that thinks your spending too much.

sorry for the rant but people give me shit because i spend more than they ever would on just "a fucking tube with a bowl in it"

It doesnt necessarily need to be a "scientific process." It is just the little things that count, liek a good air to water ratio, thickness of the bong, diffuser, ashcatcher, all of these are better quality than a regular old acrylic p.o.s.

Please tell me, what is happening other than smoke moving from the bowl, through the water, through the tube, and into your lungs? What scientific process is occuring in your bong that is not occuring in every other bong?

In the stem there are holes that diffuse the smoke into the water and get you a nice and clean cool hit.

Not to mention its pyrex on pyrex so it has a SUPER tight seal.

Nice fucking bong, I <3 smoking out of ROORs.

Well, it seems you are not to be argued with. I am a city boy. Not country. But i am stoned, and not from some shitty ass stinky acrylic bong that hits shitty and tastes gross. Maybe you like to get small, uneven, hot, burning hits with ash all over your bong, but i dont.

Whatever floats your boat. Knock yourself out.

I'm pretty damn stoned myself, and I still have that extra $150 in my bank account.

ROOR's waste/require too much weed in my opinion. ROORs just remind me of smoke filled rooms...

Get a Kemuri Bong. Frosted glass, same exact shit and with sick japanese lettering on it.

They probably waste less weed because you can get optimal hits without leakage of the bong (non airtightness i mean) and it gets you higher faster because you can hit it harder and hold it in longer the cooler the smoke is.

why is it so expensive you might aswell get a vaporizer for £50 lol

11-12-2006, 04:49 AM

ive also wondered what makes them so expensive.. i know its a good name brand and that might be it.. but i have smoked outta a two different kinds of roors and i have to say they are one of the smoothest hitting pieces that i have ever hit in my life..

Its nice but I would reccomend the 'Lil' Sista' because it has the beaker base and collects more smoke.

big smoke07

11-12-2006, 07:58 PM

bump.

But is it ok for me to order from that site since they are located in the uk? I mean can they ship a bong overseas?

budsmoker only

11-12-2006, 08:09 PM

as far i know, they will ship overseas.. i have never ordered from that site, or havnt had ne one that i know order.. but i think that they do because you have the option to change the money into us dollars.. and if they wouldnt ship it over to the US.. then it seems pointless to have that option

haha youve never hit a roor. go rip a roor then tell me theyre not worth 150. there actually is a scientific process that occurs in roors that does not occur in every other bongs. i cant remmeber it exactly but i read it somewhere and im sure someone will expand on what i say. the roors supposedly have an exact water to smoke ratio to maximize filtered, thick, smoke but does deplete any active cannabinoids like some bong disigns. go to roor.com and read up. theyre amazing in every way shape or form

First of all, to all you people who can't help but complain about prices of Roor bongs just because you can't afford them, you aren't helping this thread in any way so please stop polluting this thread with your useless comments.

Second of all, I have ordered from EDIT and they are an excellent online headshop. They do ship to the US, in very discreet packaging... no one will ever know what's inside unless they open it. The contents are just labeled as "glass ornament" or "metal ornament", etc.

And, I would suggest ignoring the negative comments of people who have never used a Roor. If you want an accurate review of the quality level of Roors, then ask someone who owns one whether or not they are worth the price.

http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/about_EDIT/shipping_information/... there is the shipping information for you, how much it will cost and what not.. and to illusionalfate, i agree with you 100%.. people who havnt hit one dont know whats so great about it, they just think its another bong.. which it is, but another bong that is amazing

The advantages a Roor bong has over a shitty homemade one should be very obvious to those who have smoked out of either. And you might be able to get as stoned out of a pop bottle bong... using 3 times the amount of weed.

i wish i could explain it too you all. but im a little high so i probably cant do it as well as i want to. but its like, roor's are expensive and all...but they rock. its like why do people buy some fucking cadilac esclade? do anyone need that much car? no i dont think so...but its a 60,000 dollar ride and when you have the money to buy WHY NOT? who needs heated seats in california? no one. roors are classy, your paying for bong bragging rights and just a nice smooth hit. personally i enjoy the phx myself. i for one do think roors are over priced and i guess so are phx's but atleast the phx your gonna get that bitchin percs. american roors have percs too i think but ive yet to find any. anyways enough of this. time to hit the bong...

if some of you think $140 is alot for a bong then your crazy! and when its Roor its fucking quality. Go look at the other Roors' and take a look at the shiva Roor... yea now that is expensive. I have a Roor and it is by far, and i mean by far the best smoke you can have, load that shit up with crushed ice water and ice and froget it. I payed $340 for mine. and i dont regret a single cent.

Ok so people are bitching about 140$ on a bong, yet you drop hundreds and hundreds a year to either grow or buy bud to smoke..why not make a worth while investment to enjoy your smoke?i cant fucking WAIT to get my lil sista roor!

Roor bongs can be a little expensive but all so worth it, trust me. There is no way they can sell something for so much if the quality of product couldnt back up the price..people simply wouldnt buy it. But the fact of the matter is, when you do hit a roor, you will know what all of us here are talking about..they are amazing. Why do people buy BMW's when they can buy a Kia for 1/5 the price? Because it is the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.:thumbsup:

well... a PHX is definetly worth it if you ask me... that gets me more high than regular bongs. I don't know the science behind it... but paying 300 bux for a bong is definitely worth it.

Aesthetics are not in any way a measure of performance. I would much rather pay for a bong that hits amazingly, than an average bong that looks fancy... and I would hope most people would do the same.

I'm sure those bongs are great though.

They use FedEx when shipping to the US, regardless of what it says on their site. My tracking number wasn't working at the UPS site so I had to email EDIT asking them what carrier they used.

FedEx is just as good though, my package was delivered only a few days after I ordered, and everything was wrapped/padded sufficiently. Whether it's worth the extra $ is up to you.

trust me, buy a roor, 150 isnt that much for a high quality smoking experience. i have ripped my share of bongs, and the roor is a champ...i've also hit a bong, named hitler, that my friend said was like 450$ which had 5 or 7 filtrations, i smoke everday and i fell over (after passing the bong of course, i've got my priorities straight), needless to say, you pay for quality, from glass to bud, and everything else....why buy good weed and not smoke it to its potential...i dunno man, just consider it a smart investment

It says though under the other 2 ways for shipping that will not ship things over £20 though using that method of shipping. I really dont feel like paying 33 dollars for fucking shippin but I really dont want to throw all that money down and not get my bong or get a 2 moths later:( . Did you also buy a ROOR and if not how much did your product weigh.

wadejason

11-15-2006, 06:46 AM

i hope to own a roor some day too. i love my phx and right now im thinking of saving up for another phx soon. something bigger, probably the really tall trinity (2 perc 1 splashguard) with the bubble bottom (only place ive seen them is in this little novelty shop in town in the middle of nowhere!) and they want about 300 something for it. i think thats way worth it.

i think though that roor is over priced though. i dont know how many people have hit my phx and gone "man thats great...how much?" and when i tell them i spend over 200 on it, their jaws drop and cant even comprehend why youd spend that much on a bong?! but like said earlier i think roor is over priced because of 1) they are elitist glass creations and dont mind charging a little more for leather seats. 2) most smoke shops need to crank up the price some on the piece because they cant discount it, so they got to make a profit too right?? 3)they are just plain out, good bongs.

bottom line, if you dont wanna spend more than 100 bucks for a bong then simply DONT. but dont bag on the rest of us for spending too much while you suck on your mt dew can pipe that you just made for the night. some people have taste...expensive taste for that matter.

i would never pay 150 for a bong, but on the other hand... my cusian will pay for the most expensive bong that roor makes... so each his own...but the fucker did say when he orders his, hes gonna order me one of the cheaper yet still expensive roors... its always good to have cusians with over 50 thousand in the bank... im poor in their eyes...

I didn't buy a Roor bong, but I bought a Roor steamroller (among other things). The order came to $153.41 total, including shipping (shipping was $35.98), and weighed 2.4lbs.

im just curious for all you roor experts out there, why do roor make their glass in that cylindar shape? something about water air ratio or something or another...or something like that. if someone can clear that up for me really quick thatd be great!

IllusionalFate

11-16-2006, 10:18 PM

Uh... aren't all bongs in a cylinder shape?

wadejason

11-17-2006, 05:24 AM

no like the bottom is almost always bubbled at the bottom. roors are only really straight. my phx is a beaker bottom so i mean bongs have different bottoms depending on the glass ya know? and most of them that i see are bubble like not straight. that doesnt mean i dont see straight but...you know....im really high. ill shut up.

IllusionalFate

11-18-2006, 01:38 AM

Straights, beakers, and bubbles are just styles of bongs. Roor isn't the only company that makes straights.

Take a look at this for example:

with regards to the people saying "ask any roor owner...."; isnt that going to be biased? surely no roor owner is going to admit it if he just threw away hundreds of dollars on what turned out to exactly the same as any other pyrex bong out there

Actually - I will admit it. I have 3 different Roors in my collection, and 3 other GonG bongs and I will admit they all seal and hit perfectly. The difference in the Roors is they appear a little more quality oriented. Its more symmetrical. The base doesn't wobble. No ripples in the glass. The colored glass signatures. Fused joints are smoother. Are they worth the extra money? I guess that depends on individual tastes. You will pay a premium for the "Roor" logo, no question. My $65 ZOB hits just as good as my custom $250 Roor.

Evisu and Wrangler both make jeans - both are denim, and both are similar if not identical in construction and one is 10x the price of the other.. the difference is simply style, and the status.
