This is the only head shop I will go to in Santa Cruz. Thank you for reminding me that customer service does still exist.

Their prices are awesome. The quality of everything is amazing. Their variety in everything is endless. But the customer service of the shop owner is beyond priceless. And he makes sure that the impeccable customer service is absorbed and trickles down to every single employee he hires. The employees have ALWAYS impressed me at this shop making it a breath of fresh air coming here no matter who is behind the counter. And if by some crazy reason they dont have whatever you are looking for, they will go out of their way to get whatever you want in stock very soon. Star Zone gets my vote UNDOUBTEDLY for the "World's Best Smoke Shop Ever In All The Land"!!!!! Love you guys!!!!

I called right after and was told that once it leaves the store, it's the customer's fault--which doesn't make sense for a product that was clearly faulty from the start. When I asked about checking devices in-store, the response I got was dismissive and unhelpful. Customers shouldn't be expected to "test" a brand-new product just to avoid being stuck with something defective. Disappointed in both the product quality and the customer service. I wouldn't recommend buying disposables here.

The store in Aptos sold me a half gram stiiizy cartridge for the full gram price.
