I've been going to Mesa Vape for a while now, and out of the dozens of times I've been here, not…read moreonce have I had a negative--or even just "okay"--experience. The owner and everyone on his staff are extremely friendly, professional, personable, and very helpful. Every person I've interacted with has seemed genuinely amp'd to be there--which is pretty wild, because there's usually at least one disgruntled employee at every workplace--but apparently, everyone who works here never has a bad day. My consistently positive experiences have gotten me to the point where, even if I moved, I'd still drive out of my way to support their business. If you're the owner and are reading this: first off, you're amazing, and I always appreciate your help. Second, whatever resource or process you're using to hire--don't stop (and please share) because you truly have the best staff ever.

I compared my tins when I got home and noticed the smell was off and even the packaging / labels were off. Do your research before or after buying here. Unsure if they even know it but after looking at some of the negative reviews, looks like they are well aware. I guess "new feel" means fake nowadays.

Walked in to get an item and the gentlemen Andy working could just tell I was not having a great day. He was so welcoming. Literally his only concern was to get me what I needed but more importantly to get a smile out of me before walking out. I walked into this store not caring about anything in my life anymore. Moral of the story. Just being a good good human and being real, can really save sometimes life. Truly. Thank you.

"Congrats, You Lost a Loyal Customer Over a $1 Water Bottle!"…read more I've been going to this smoke shop for TWO YEARS, dropping enough cash on vapes and juice to probably fund the owner's next vacation. Easily over $2,500 in clouds of fruity smoke. So imagine my shock when one of the owners comes sprinting after me like I'm shoplifting diamonds... over a ONE DOLLAR WATER BOTTLE. Mind you, they've given me water for free before. But suddenly, this $1 bottle must've been liquid gold. The look of pure existential frustration in the owner's eyes was like I'd just asked him for his firstborn child instead of a sip of Dasani. I guess loyalty means nothing when they're counting pennies. So here's the deal: Thousands spent on vapes? Check. Loyal customer for 2 years? Check. Free water bottle? DENIED. I hope that $1 was worth it, because you officially lost a customer who practically pays your electric bill. I'll be taking my vape habit (and my thirst) elsewhere. P.S. Next time, maybe save the Olympic-level sprinting for actual shoplifters... not your regulars who keep you in business.

I was in the neighborhood today visiting an old friend and on my way over to the Balboa peninsula I…read moreremember that there is an Up In Smoke store on the way!! As anyone who has read my other review of the store that was previously on Bristol was my long time place for all my accessories like hemp wicks, water pipes, papers, and all things smoking related. Today marks the day that I solved the quest to understand the connection of ALL the Up In Smoke stores!! First, a huge amount of gratitude to Bruce who filled me in on Mike and Murad, who are the original people that own and operate the stores. I used to chat regularly with Mike at the Bristol store and he always was solid on hooking up the great glass!! Bruce and the other guys at the shop are incredibly welcoming and the store is impeccable. They have everything you need, especially if you're like me and "fumble" your "piece" and it breaks at the beach. OR in case you accidentally loose track of your papers and they get "donated" to the sand gods Up In Smoke is right there off of Newport Blvd South just up on the left hand side a little bit past the liquor store also on the left. You can also access the store on the North bound side of Newport Blvd just past 26th Street. There are pay kiosks for some of the street parking so be aware of it so you don't get a ticket. The store has a great selection of pipes, water pieces, gear for vaping, also a nice selection of cigars should you be in "the mood". All the other accessories like protective bags for traveling with your piece, rolling trays, selection of tobacco for argile/hookah smokers, e juices, etc. Again, location, location, location! Literally steps from the beach, the bar, the restaurants, whatever your destination or reason Up In Smoke is right there for you. Enjoy!!!
