I went in yesterday and purchased a geek bar. I should have checked the device before I left the…read morestore, but I did not. later when I did open it it was completely wet and leaking out into the packagin. I went to exchange it today. they offered me an exchange but I had to exchange it for the same brand. they did not have my flavor so I tried one that a very nice employee recommended. I did not like it at all. so the gentleman helping me went to who I am assuming was the manager and let him know what happened. At that point the manager went off. Informed him that he shouldn't recommend anything ever. And then he told the employee to just make an exchange but don't recommend anything to me at all. And then he said it four more times, picked up the device brought his arm all the way up and slammed it in the trash. Turned around to walk out of the room and repeated again I'm telling you not to recommend anything ever again and looked at me and told me I had to pick myself and to not ask for a recommendation.At that point their selection was so bad and they had nothing that I would smoke, and I looked at them and said this wasn't about the money. This was just wanting an exchange, rather , it was for something less expensive or more expensive I would've paid more and I didn't need a refund if I paid less. I told him I would never be back based on how the manager treated the employee and the scene he caused while I was there it was extremely uncomfortable. i feel extremely sorry for anyone that works for that man. it was so bad I wish I could leave a number for the owner to call me.

I went home with the Xros vape, a bunch of extra pods, and a couple of bottles of menthol liquids. They were right, and I went again today. An older gentleman helped me, and turned me on to the larger 3ml pods. I'll be going back for a couple more boxes of those, as everything went perfectly. I've got 3 XROS devices, sitting on charger stands (Made for Apple TV remotes - but they work great for this), and a batch of filled pods. Now I have the convenience of the Vuse Alto system without the expense of their disposable pods ($30+ for four) Thanks, guys!

Review Visit: July 1st, 2015…read more "Woah, trippy dude!" The destination Penny Lane Gifts was recommended to me by a friend. She made it seem like a quasi-trippy gift store that has an eclectic collection of odds and ends. Doing what I normally do, I headed down there with a few friends to check it out. Sure enough, Penny Lane is exactly like it was described. A large collection of odds and ends with something for everyone. The store itself is massive. It has a bit of a 'antique mall' layout to it. One room or section will be one theme and then walking into another room will have a different theme or layout. We saw a ton of cool things. Stuff from Star Wars to Willie Nelson to Harley Davidson. There is something there for anyone and everyone. I recommended this place to my dad and he loved it. He found himself some cool things to get, despite not being a materialistic person himself. My favorite room was the Black Light room, as seen in the main photo above. It was trippy. I've been around black lights before and have seen the effects it has on things, but the extent of these black rooms was intense and immense. Everything illuminated. Everything glowed. I didn't end up buying anything there but I did see a few things I was interested in. My next trip back, I will definitely be picking up a few things to spruce up my home. Woah.

Their hours are scheduled to open at 9am, but I've been there several times at that time or even 30-40 minutes after and they're not there. I understand business and it's sometimes more cost efficient to wait to open up until your business earnings typically begin... Unless your customers arrive when they expect you to be open and you're not open. It's even more difficult when they're on a different schedule and are relying on being to able to come to your business on a time crunch but you're not available when you said you would be. I would just change my hours to make it convenient for your business costs but also not lie to your customers and say you're going to be open but you aren't. Open earlier some days and later on others. We understand! We just count on reliability and it really affects your business. I've seen other reviews on Google, I know I'm not the only who notices this.

I try to avoid him but went in after a 2 month break. This dude tells me he just signed a petition to have it banned (that trump is going to do it LOL) and he points to the Kratom and 7OH. I immediately ask why he works for a store that sells stuff he's personally against selling, he was just kinda speechless. Then he says Kratom (that shit) is killing people. I tell him no sir it is not, let's just not talk about this. (He's ringing me up which take 5+ minutes with this dude, he's the only one that takes that long and he asks me my phone number every time where every other employee knows it by now.) anyways, he said you can leave the store. I ask him if he is serious as I'm walking out and he tells me I'm not going to come in and "argue" with him. This place is a joke, and could never keep products in stock. You add in this guy... DO NOT COME HERE if you value not being treated like dog poop. This isn't the first problem I've had with this dude. He seems to treat women much better (like my mom) I've seen this over and over. Vapor maven doesn't not care and has not got back with me. To the owner of this store, this guy is running people out the door. I have a friend and 2 family members that were treated rudely by him as well. I posted exactly what happened on Reddit so people can avoid this place and company. This guy should not be working here, Kratom SAVES PEOPLES LIVES and you have employees that would push them back to street drugs!!!? . Do something about this!!!!!!!!!
