The staff and owner are the best. Personable, professional, and very knowledgeable. With more and more vape shops opening on almost every corner, RVA Vapes is consistently solid. Large product selection, fair prices, and great customer service. Definitely recommend! read more

Great staff, I go there when I'm in town visiting. They have everything for your vape needs.

Staff was super cool, nice to have local businesses you can count on highly recommended

relaxed atmosphere. Bought Xros 2 will continue business.

I just wanted to take a minute to say that this by far is the best vape shop I've visited and I have visited more than I can count. I called yesterday looking for a rather hard coil to locate and what do you know, that had them and at great price too!! Naturally I went in to pick them up. While in the store I spoke to a gentleman named Seth (same person that was over the top helpful on the phone earlier that day) when I went in and he gave me several recommendations regarding some changes that I was contemplating. Truly helpful and very knowledgeable and I never felt like he was rushing me. Today (the day after) I went in with a problem on a tank that I couldn't figure out and thought because he was so helpful yesterday I would stop in and see if he would offer some advice. Wouldn't you know, he did! On top of that he even took a good 30-45 minutes to dissect this problem himself on a device that I didn't even purchase from them! After figuring out the problem I had going on I decided to purchase a tank for another mod I had with me. Seth again took the time to show me and tell me about several options I could go with. With his advice I went with a tank that I'm already in love with. He even gave me a little discount because of the frustration I had with the original issue. Again, not even something purchased through them! I don't often write reviews but with this level of customer service I felt the need. My next purchase whether it's juice, coils, mod, etc. will be with these guys. I wish I could've left more than 5 stars! A big thanks to Seth and RVA Vapes!! read more

Forgot my vape juice, and I'm not from the area. Pooped in 30 minutes before close and the two people working were super polite and knowledgeable about their selection of juices. I was able to give a general description of my preferences and they quickly gave me four great choices they had available. The one I ended up picking hits great, has a great flavor, and the prices were comparable with shops in my area. read more

Super friendly and helpful. Awesome staff. Professional atmosphere and welcoming. Coffee wins me over. Good selection

Best vape shop in Richmond. I am pretty much a regular at this point. I stock up every few weeks. But they are super knowledgeable, have a huge inventory of juices and hardware, and a vaping bar where you can check flavors. This is a local business- support them. And if you don't care about that, you will care about the fact that places like Avail only have their own proprietary flavors- many of which are pretty unpalatable. The house-made e-liquids here are amazing. But they also make an effort to get a really good selection of liquids that you can normally only get online. So I'd rather go to a good local business, have the luxury of tasting before I buy (because really, how often do things really match the written description- especially something as subjective as flavor descriptions), and get the product right away, no shipping charge, no waiting. Also really good advice as far as e-cigs, tanks, how to use things, etc. And the inventory stays fresh and up to date. My only quibble is that sometimes products I really like get discontinued. But all in all its a really nice store- comfortable, friendly, easy to shop. Sometimes they get really busy, but I'm often able to run by on my lunchbreak and I'm in and out in a few minutes. Glad they are here. read more

Great store. I recommend these guys & girls. Friendly & helpful. They have two locations. Southside and Northside. read more

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. I'm new to vaping and they explained all the ins and outs of my new mod and helped me select just the right juice. Competitive pricing. Highly recommended. read more

Very help and friendly staff. Lots of hardware and juice choices with some really good flavors. Prices are comparable with most area shops.

While RVA Vapes' selection is decent, I won't be going back. In my last three visits, it was at least 10 minutes before I was asked if I needed anything. This was not because the small store was packed and all employees were helping other customers, but because they all stood around chatting with their buddies and deciding what to order for lunch. When I was approached, they were less than helpful helping me find ejuice I would like, and one or two employees didn't seem knowledgeable enough about their hardware to direct a customer to something that would suit his needs. Up the professionalism. You'd think this place was run by teenagers. read more

My first visit to RVA Vapes and I was kind of blown away. Had been dealing with Avail Carytown and turned off by them not standing behind their products, questionable knowledge and horrible customer service. RVA Vapes are on the other side of that spectrum from what I experienced on my initial visit. VERY knowledgeable, patient with questions and customer focused. I'm extremely happy with my first purchase and look forward to visiting them more in the future. Oh and their eliquid blows away any I've tried so far from Avail to various online vendors. Give em a shot!! read more

Just picked up a new mod yesterday. Love coming here. Very friendly and helpful as always. Been other places but none as friendly as here. Got questions, they got answers. And they will not have you going out the door with more or less than you need. Was stuck between getting a 20watt mod for $100 or 50w for $100. Left with a 30w for less than I budgeted for and I'm vaping happy. Thanks RVA read more

Came here since I had to wait for an online order. Only was trying to buy a bottle but I ended leaving with a few. The people were friendly and they had an arcade there like AN ARCADE that win me over so fast and the house juice for once didn't taste bad and tasted like how they said it would but THE ARCADE read more

Unorganized juices and overpriced mods. I'd like to support local businesses instead of hopping online, so if the price is reasonable, I will buy from the brick and mortar. However, RVAvapes mods are about 30% higher than online. For example, a $70 Joyetech eGrip at RVAvapes is $45-$50 online. The price isn't even close. As far as the juices, they are in unorganized and hard to read carousels. A layout like Avail is much easier to navigate. I give them stars for the service and knowledgeable staff. read more

Okay. So I think vaping is kinda lame. (No offense to anyone, it's just a personal preference.) BUT. I've been trying to quit smoking. And it's hard guys. I know vaping is not a cure, but it's helpful. And I have to say the customer service I got here was top notch. They cared about my budget- I am of course new to this. And they explained everything. Super professional, and super nice dudes. I'm kinda embarrassed to give vaping a high five, but I totally am on this one. Thanks guys. read more

The shop is open well designed and has pretty good natural light. There's usually multiple staff members present and I've always gotten great service. I have mainly used them to buy e juice, but they seem pretty knowledgeable in mod repair and I usually see a staff member helping a customer with atomizer or a coil. The juice they make their are high quality and one of my favorites is the special sauce. I see folks hanging out at the vape bars and chat, so a nice friendly store where folks hang out if you are a regular. They sometimes have juices for sale and carry a wide variety. read more

I'm a big fan of this shop. I got my first starter kit here and have kept coming back as a result of the chill and accommodating atmosphere. This shop has definitely come a long way. They now offer a large selection of standard/popular and unique/premium juices to appeal to just about everyone. They also have many in house blends that are worthwhile. They do tasting events, which are a blast. OH, and they offer the Five Star card, which allows you to accrue points and earn discounts off of items! How cool is that? read more

This was the very first vape shop I went to when I gave up a 3 pack-a-day smoking habit and started vaping and now, a year later, I'm still a faithful customer! It's worth the hour and a half drive for me because I love their juices, their customer service, and their shops. I've never had someone try to sell me something I didn't need or knew I couldn't afford and I've never left there without my questions answered. I love this place! read more

The e-liquid is the best. Always coming through in the clutch. I love the mentholicious flavor it last forever. The staff is always friendly and willing to help answer any questions. read more

I stopped smoking yesterday, so I said to my self let me checkout These guys. Seth, was great he answered all my questions and seem to know everything about these mysterious devices. I guess u can find these things anywhere but the reason why I bought from them because Seth spent TWO Hours with me and I appreciated that one on one service that u don't find anywhere these days. Awesome customer service read more

RVA Vapes has set the bar for vape shops here in Richmond. From walking in, the vibe of the shop feels familiar and welcoming, providing an atmosphere that makes anxious newcomers feel at ease and regulars feel like they are returning home. Their staff is extremely knowledgable, patient, and genuine, ensuring that a great customer experience is always top priority. I, myself, am still very new to vaping which entails a lot of questions and assistance, which is to be expected. The shop (Avail) I purchased my (not cheap) mod from spent little to no time on assisting me or guiding me through the steps of a good vaping experience (setup, installation, cleaning, troubleshooting, terminology, etc.), and left me with more questions than answers after I had left. After a recommendation from a friend, I visited RVA Vapes and was absolutely blown away with their stellar customer service. Seth's patient expertise and thorough tutorials at the counter has given me a wealth of knowledge that has already begun to benefit me! Their pricing is absolutely fair and competitive, especially considering they are a local business, so knowing that I putting my dollars back into my city is a major plus. Noelle was also super friendly as well! Their house juices are delicious and they also carry a wide selection of other outside brands too. Simply put; their is a reason they are the "People's Choice" of Richmond, and that's because they choose to care about the people that come through their doors, and are willing to go the extra mile for them. In true Richmond form, RVA Vapes doesn't get caught up in the all show-no substance, glitz and glamor decor like you'd find in your typical big box vape store. Rather, they aim to serve, educate, and empower their vaping community with the best vaping experience possible, and in those regards, they've undeniably knocked it out of the park! You've won yourself a new lifelong customer RVA Vapes! read more

I love going to RVA Vapes, from the juice bar, the staff, everything about it! The staff is more than knowledgeable. The products are always top notch. I cannot remember the last time I want to a different vape shop. RVA Vapes has ALL of my business! read more

This vape shop isn't just a "shop." It's an experience, and a lovely experience! I've been buying e-juice and equipment here for 3 years and the staff here is exceptional! All of them! Even if the store is crowded the staff will spend as much time with you as you require. I actually empathize with them when I enter, as I am quite the babbler. Since my son became ill, it's been my husband who goes here for me now. He is very introverted, quiet, and almost appears anti-social to strangers. But after going to RVA Vapes a couple of times I noticed that it would take him longer and longer to return home. When he did arrive home he was always smiling and talking about whomever assisted him that day. And he doesn't even vape! The quality of their huge variety of e-cig components is unsurpassed, and extremely well-priced. Their juices are delicious, and also well-priced. I would know, because prior to discovering RVA Vapes I purchased all my e-cig supplies online, from various online stores. Never again! RVA Vapes is my go-to shop now for ALL my vaping needs. And sometimes, I'll admit, I go there to also meet my social needs. read more
