BUYER BEWARE! Very simply, bought a $60 vape that NEVER worked. Came back 2-3 hours after purchase…read moreto attempt return/exchange and was refused with clerk referring to "no refunds/exchanges for used products"signs posted in the store, making me wonder how it was used if it never worked in the first place? Further, the clerk also indicated that even if the product was not used, their computer system is not capable of doing returns, contradicting his previous statement. They essentially took my $60 for a plastic piece of junk. If you want to give a business your money for a shoddy product that they do not stand behind, then this is your place. Otherwise, I'd go elsewhere. The clerk was polite, however, but did nearly nothing to keep our business except offer "a really good discount" for my next purchase, which we both knew would never happen. Fool me once....

Only thing I can even say bad is that the upkeep on the tester clearomizer for teating the different juice was a little ruff. Some were giving a burning taste and a few were empty or overfilled. All the other really good aspect of this shop over weigh the negitive by a lot though, so deffinaitly two thumbs up!

I later researched what the original retail price was for just the mod and it was, at original price from Smok, $55. At the time I had asked if he could lower the price because I've seen cheaper ones from the actual manufacturer and he laughed and said that he was already taking off $15. Save your money and buy online. Employees are friendly to a degree, maybe 'cause they know you're being porked...

Last time I went, they had no batteries, no coils for the most popular tank(there are 4 variations), and 5 of the juices I asked for, they had none of the nicotine varieties.

Recently relocated from Boston to Worcester, I was in the market for a new tank. This place is down the street so decided to check it out. First impressions; Customer service was excellent. Family owned business. Father and son team. Very knowledgeable. Takes the guess work out and eliminates online research time. The one thing I like about their inventory is they only carry high quality hardware which is endorsed by the owner. It's like going to a restaurant and the menu is four pages because Americans love their options. This place is like going to a restaurant that has a one page menu with a starter, main, and desert. Simply putting out what is only good. I am now a happy owner of a sweet setup. I got the SMOK Cloud Beast tfv8 tank with a Fuchai 213 mod. They even throw in one battery for free when you buy a mod. I will definitely be back on a regular basis to purchase my coils there. I really have no need to try any other vapor shop in Worcester as this shop was a hit from the beginning. The best part is supporting local business vs buying online. I'm all for that! Thanks House of Vapors for the superb customer service, advice, and recommendations. I am now vaping better than ever. Happy vaping!m

I bought a vape here just bc I was lucky enough to find the owner in the building. I needed some…read morepod refills for the vape I bought and there's a sign on the door saying call 1st curb side pickup only however no one ever answers the phone, I've left messages voicemails AND TEXTS and they are never returned. I tried to walk to the store to hopefully catch someone in it but both times the store was completely empty. This guy has ZERO customer service skills either that or he just doesn't give a crap about his business anymore. I had to do a lot of research to find the correct pods my machine takes then a lot of research finding a site that sold these particular pods until one day I got lucky and found one and ordered. Had I not found this site selling the pods I needed I would be $50 down the drain with a useless vape. The owner is very rude and I don't see him being in business for very much longer. If he's going out of business a reply saying so would've been polite and courteous but this guy has no manners ZERO!

No-return policies like the one here are a pain for this stuff since they're a bunch of faulty products on the market. Looking at other reviews, a lot of people could have been served better had they followed that advice. If you're making a big investment in a vape or something, it's worth heading into a more reputable city shop or just getting something online and waiting. Gotta say... if you're into Cigars the selection here is rather impressive. They keep a modest but well kept humidor with an impressive array of Coronas and Maduros of various sizes at a sliding price range. Anyone with a hearty stock of Olivia's is a friend of mine. Tried an Acid Blondie just earlier today and it was fresh as a Connecticut stogie as you'll ever get. Staff is fine. One lady usually holds down the fort ok.
