    Got my first bong today for $25 off craigslist. The seller said he payed a lot more for it but I kinda figured that it's fake and made in china. Is there anyway that I can identify if this is fake or not?
     
    i got the bowl for $15 at a local headshop

    syn is pretty quality glass, they however aren't really hyped up as much as "top brands" are so I doubt they have any signature to their pieces. This also makes it safe to say there probably isn't a whole lot of syn imposters. The best way would go to aqualab and compare, or any other site that is legally marketing their glass.
     
  4. Well I see this comparable photo from a sold bong over at fuckcombustion forums in 2012.. It has the same black & yellow label.

    so i guess it's not fake.
     
  5. For 25$ who cares, that's about how much a china glass bowl costs around here
     
  6. although it would be easy to throw a syn sticker onto a cheap tube, its possiblylegit...that showerhead looks like a genuine syn design, thick base...i would say another test is to compare sounds on youtube. i know its a weird idea, but pull up a few youtube vids and listen to how the tube pulls and clears, then compare yours. i will say if its a legit syn, its probably a few years old as i think theyve changed their splash guards, not sure though. either way, great scoop.

    Yeah, if someone's going to make a fake brand name piece, it's going to be a fake ROOR 9 times out of 10. 
     
    If I were to take a survey of my pot smoker friends in real life, guaranteed most of them have never even heard of SYN. There's no money in forfeiting that kind of glass. 
     
  8. well I found the same exact bong on youtube

  10. Yes it's fake. I can tell by looking at it. Now throw it away and buy a real one before you embarrass yourself in front of your friends. They will diss you badly for it.
     
  11. Just don't bang it around too much, then who cares. It shouldn't break if you don't drop it, you'll be good bro
