Is Your RooR Bong Authentic? (How To Spot Fake Roor Glass)

Discussing fake products is a contentious topic where it is easy to offend. Still, fake glass remains a large problem for both glass manufacturers and customers alike. Many of those buying RooR glass from black market stores aren’t even aware that what they are buying is not authentic. RooR is a brand where there have been more faked versions sold than the real deal, after all, they aren’t exactly cheap glass.

Not sure whether or not your RooR glass or the RooR you’re interested in buying is authentic? Here are some ways to help authenticate your glass.

Check The Quality of The Logo

Authentic RooR pieces have clear logos, while fakes might have blurry or poorly defined designs. If your logo looks heavily pixelated or very blurry, it’s more likely to be a counterfeit piece than an original.

Check The Stability of The Base

The base of a RooR glass piece will be stable and well-constructed. Fake versions may have noticeable misshapen areas and wobble when placed on a flat surface.

Serial Numbers and Authentication

While this wasn’t always the case, newer versions of RooR glass come with an authentication tag. You can contact Roor directly to verify the authenticity of a piece using the serial number. If you’re unsure whether or not a piece of RooR glass should come with an authentication tag, you can reach out to us, and we can help advise, as we’ve discussed the presence of tags and the related models directly with RooR.

Prices That Are Too Good To Be True

If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Roor glass products are known for their quality, and extremely low prices may indicate a counterfeit. Additionally, you should consider the thickness of the glass in relation to the price. RooR pieces can be fairly affordable, but the thickness of the glass on affordable models is typically quite thin. The thick wall pieces will typically range from R5000 to R10 000. If you see a thick glass bong with a RooR label at under R3000, chances are it’s inauthentic.

Is The Retailer Trustworthy?

Here at LOUDcpt, customer satisfaction is our primary goal, and we’ve established a reliable network of happy customers who can vouch for the integrity of our company (check out our Instagram). If the retailer lacks transparency or a reliable customer base, you should approach with caution, as many small retailers pop up trying to sell fake glass.

Associated Accessories (Do The Bowl and Downstem Look The Part?)

RooR uses unique designs on their glass, not just on their bongs but also on the accessories. The downstem and bowls of RooR products have a unique flare to them that doesn’t have the same style as your traditional budget bowls. If your RooR glass comes with a standard-looking bowl that looks just like everyone you’ve ever had, it is worth investigating further. It may not be fake (as some suppliers may swap out damaged parts with generic ones), but the downstems should also match the RooR style.

Ask For The Model

If you’re unsure about the authenticity of a RooR bong, ask the seller for a reference to the model number. In nearly all cases, legitimate retailers will be able to specify the model, as this is how they are sold from RooR and authentic wholesalers. Counterfeit dealers will usually be unable to reference a model that you can confirm its authenticity from, and that’s an important step. Don’t just take their word for it, run a quick Google search to make sure the model you see matches the pictures online.

Conclusion

The cannabis market is prone to moral issues, which is the whole reason we created Loud. We wanted to bring in authentic pieces of glass, to have local smokers experience quality firsthand. However, there are still plenty of sketchy sellers out there, and understanding what you’re looking for when buying a RooR piece, and knowing what to expect is essential to not becoming a victim.
