I mean Id buy the Ziggy if I had an extra thousand but other then that, I guess I just cant afford quality Roor right now and im not paying top dollar for 3.2 glass. The prices range from unreasonable to unbelievable.

I didn't call it a sweatshop, that was someone else. But i think i did concur with that poster none the less. In those statements, i was defending roor. I haven't seen the glass in person, just the pics that were posted(in which the person I saw that posted it, both pieces were very similar in color patterns. That was all. When it comes down to it, glass is just glass when it's really the weed that makes the glass useful.

IE: http://www.canaseed.com/SeedsPriceCompare.aspx?p=1548 this is one of the smallest tubes they make. Its fucking tiny and the glass isnt thick, but whats the pricetag? 100 fuckin bucks.

http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/onli...ProductID=5142 Ummm...I dont know what to say about this one...its really fucking amzing but damn thats 1000 if you add shipping

The reason other tube company's have more defects then RooR, Is cause RooR is second to none when it comes to the size of there operation, Meaning they can spend more time and effort on quality control, Not to mention when it comes to bongs RooR was the first company to ever use Glass on Glass, They were also the first company to ever use a tree perc, So they have been creating tubes longer then any other company and have perfected the technique. Then theres the fact that they employ some of the top glass blowers to ever live, On the US side they even hire tops heady artist to do sections for there customs.

As for EDIT its pretty well known that there prices are a little high, Also they only sell German tubes, The American tubes that you buy in shops here in the US are a bit cheaper. Besides i paid $180 for my 3.2 little sista and it was worth every penny. Its a little on the thin side, But if i had to i would buy it all over.

Actually it quite easy to snap the perc off and everything on the outside be fine, Cause when the tube is bumped or tapped it causes vibrations through the whole piece, Which can cause breakage of the perc.

And sorry to correct you but Lux tubes are blown in the same shop by the same artist using the same glass as all RooR.us tubes, So the quality is the same.

And well, they're right. It's not even close to as durable. My buddy's perc(not a tree) on his lux broke one day for absolutely no reason(there was only water in it and he was taking a hit). Not saying i wouldn't buy a lux for that price with those features(except splash guard is a bit excessive), but quality isn't close to the same.

How do you go from comparing two companies to throwing Illadelph into the mix? Illadelphs run just as high as roor, especially the ashcatchers.

well that shop owner is a moron, because lux IS roor.. he just wanted to sell you something more expensive.

And I dont know what your buddy bought but lux dosent put out any percs that arent trees.

your right about illas costing just as much as roor, and their really sub par..

i really wouldn't say its by the same shop. Ive heard from quite a few people that it's a group of people that used to work for roor that ventured into their own thing. not exactly sure how factual that really is though.

I don't know who told you that, But they were wrong RooR.us owns Lux and the Lux name, They started Lux cause RooR Germany told them they could not produce perc and bent necks under the RooR name anymore, So Lux became the avenue for RooR.us to continue production of perc and bent neck, But like i said before i think RooR.de may have loosened there ban on percs, Cause they have started to to put out some new RooR percs.

it really depends on what your looking for are you looking for, Function over astetics(sp?) or vice versa, If your looking for function you cant go wrong with a Lux mini they run no more then $250

14"
3.97mm
Single perc
18.8mm(with 18.8mm to 14.5mm conversion low profile diffuser)
your choice of straight, Bubble or Beaker bottom.

[ROOROOR]

My first tube was a 9mm beaker ADS. that thing was a tank and hit great. They are very nice tubes and come with good diffusers that make them rip well. I still perfer a good roor though, the ADS was a great hit but had a little drag and I didn't like the feel of the sandblasted section along with the weight in my hands. My roor perc hits perfectly.

[doob3r]

every ADS at my local head shops have nice thick necks but the base is very very very thin. the last time i went to buy a tube the lady was going on and on and on about how it could handle a 5 foot fall EASY, i said no it cant and to show me,

she wouldnt and got pissed and stormed off, some other girl comes buy and i buy a 224.99 tube and she gets the comission or whatever, that bitch was pissed.

the cheap ADS' bongs and anything with a dome perc they make absolutely suck. they make ones with grommets that look really weak but the 9mm are thick all around, on mine the beaker was still very thick and solid, maybe it got to 5mm at the thinest part. but you're right no bong will survive a 5 foot fall and most won't even survive one or two feet. even if the glass is thick the joints will still break if it falls over.
