Today we are reviewing the Rokit V5 smoking device. This bong is truly unique and I have never seen another design like it. This piece is smokable art. Your probably wondering how the hell you smoke this thing the picture below should explain more:
The mouth piece resting on the holder gets inserted into the nose cone, the top nose cone comes off and the black part directly under it is filled with cannabis. Inside the glass lies a metal ‘rose’ That rose sends the smoke through a 14 port dual chamber. In the glass cylinder there should be water coming up to where the stem of the rose meets the end of the rose(bulb). On the other end is a carb, light the nose cone work the carb and inhale.
The rokit comes in several different colors and you can purchase one for about $145 U.S.
Is it worth the money? Well let’s get down to business. The Rokit comes in a small heavy box, opening it I was a bit disappointed with the size the pictures as always made me think it would be a tad bit bigger than what I received. No matter, the parts were all quality heavy cnc machined metal and nice gaskets the chamber that holds the water however was a problem. It arrived cracked! I was pissed but the rokit worked regardless, the crack was hairline but still unacceptable. I emailed the guys at RedEye and got an email back in about 5 minutes telling me that my replacement glass was being sent out the next day! I was impressed and it came about 3 days later. Packaged really well this time.The Rokit came with instructions,screens and some cleaner. Using the instructions the Rokit was put together with less than 5 minutes work.
Some water in the chamber and fresh ganj in the nosecone is all this baby needed to launch my ass into outerspace…or so I hoped. I hit the rokit and experienced a massive apollo13 blast of weed into my lungs, 30 seconds later… I was HIGH! But I was coughing my ass off, other people in the room also experience the same satanic lava flow shoot into to their lungs as well.The Rokit packs a hell of a whallup I have seen the biggest pro weed smokers tear up and almost vomit from the Rokit. Some have referred to this device as the noisy cricket due to it’s size and powerful weed blast.
So is it worth it? Well,The Rokit is a unique looking and very powerful device. When you look at the core of the matter however it’s nothing more than a very fancy percolated bong. It’s not the smoothest nor kindest to your lungs the Rokit relies on brute strength to get you high. It is definitely a conversation piece. I would say this is a great piece if your looking to add something unique that’ll kick your ass to your collection. In terms of it being a good bong, it’s not the greatest but gets the job done. My Chief complaints with the Rokit would be 1) The water smells really nasty when cleaning due to the size and sheer amount of smoke passing through the device. 2) The top is hard to get off sometimes getting stuck, making said nasty water splash all over the place. 3) Cost, the Rokit costs just a bit too much for the average person to warrant spending this kind of cash on anything less than a really clean hitting bong.
Conclusion: The Rokit is a very unique piece and if you have the money and have nothing better to spend it on then go for it, don’t expect any thrills from your hits but you will get super high and cough your ass off like you own a house amongst a California wildfire. With all that being said the Rokit gets a 3 noses up out of 5. FINAL:3/5
