    Pocket pipes galore and vaping gear for your puffing pleasure.
    Stromboli15 ..

    So, I finally got around to visiting the Up In Smoke store here in Costa Mesa on 19th Street literally across from the DMV. Funny enough, I was on my way back from a doctor's appointment and had decided to grab lunch at my favorite vegan burger place, Mr Nice Guy's and as I was pulling into the parking lot I was shocked to see that it was the same strip of businesses that Up In Smoke is located in. Stoked would be the appropriate word for it. So, I ran inside and who should I run into but Mikey the owner and Bruce the guy who runs the store in the Balboa Island location. It was a party for sure!! I had a solid time hanging out with Mike and he gave me the details of ALL the Up In Smoke stores including the others owned by family. What is awesome to know, is that Mike and his family have been handling these locations for about 2 decades now maybe longer. I would have to call them THE PREMIER store for finding anything smoking or vaping related. On a side note, Mike mentioned that in the near future that Newport and possibly Costa Mesa will both have new "zoning laws" in regards to stores carrying various kinds of vaping products. So, if you're used to seeing your regular products here or at any of the other locations, I would suggest that you visit the store here on 19th and have a conversation with Mike regarding these changes in the local laws. I was completely unaware that some pretty drastic changes were going into effect so soon. Come in and get the info from Mike or any of the other guys here and they'll set you straight. In the meantime they're selling as much of their vaping products as quickly as they can before the changes take effect. As for the other devices and products, they will continue to provide the best selection, at the best prices as usual. If you need anything, butane, lighters, scales, pocket pipes, rolling trays, Kratom, hookahs, flavored tobacco, stickers, wall art, ANYTHING!!! You should easily find it here. Or at the very least, the guys here can find it through the various other locations for you. They're always open and ready to assist you with your products and purchases. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!

    Really awesome place for cards…read more Owners? Workers? Not even sure. But those guys in the store are SUPER nice and knowledgeable. Prices are honest and fair. And they have an instagram account that shows what drops are coming or what they have in stock. You can also sell your own cards to them - they told me to bring my collection in if I wanted some options/opinions. They have single pokemon cards for as low as 10 cents - it really doesn't get better than that.

    It's been about a year since I started coming to BoomLoot and they only get better! First Pokemon…read morecard I ever purchased was from here and it was the Pikachu Van Gogh ($750). Keith looked at me like, dude!? You sure you want this to be your first purchase, haha. He also said it should be going up in value and DAMN, he was right! I think it's around $1,500 right now...my point to that was today, 11/11/25, Keith remembered he sold me that card and mentioned it while I was walking out. The guys that work here care about this community and care about the work they do. They're awesome and my son and daughter love coming in here to check out the new items they have. HELPFUL HINT...their storefront is in the BACK. If you go to the "normal front" you'll have to walk around to the backside. There's lots of parking back there and the big roller door is open, you can't miss it. Support local businesses like this...they're few and far between.

    This is the OG POPMART location that I first started going to and started my love for Pino Jellies…read more Over the years and through the hype, this POPMART is constantly busy and packed. As an art store, there are already small aisles since the store is filled with displays. The customers that come in and out aren't the kindest people. There's pushing, shoving, and nonexistent boundaries. My only hope is for some sort of expansion so there's less exchanges of germs. As an avid collector, I'm still a fan and still adore this location. My only hint to visitors: park in the building next to Din Tai Fung for the easiest and quickest access to the store!

    I would not recommend purchasing any items from the South Coast Plaza storefront. We purchased a…read morefew of the skull panda blind boxes and within the first two days of having the toy pendant, one arm fell off and then within the week, the second arm fell off. We came in within 30 days of purchase and spoke to 2 employees (a counter employee and the manager) about the problem requesting an exchange. I did not have the receipt, as it had been discarded after opening, but the manager had me entertain him by searching for a spot with good cell phone reception (providing proof of purchase within 30 days) and after all the time spent re-explaining the problem and finding a place in the mall with good cell phone reception, and logging into my credit card account, was still told there was nothing they could do about it. That is terrible customer service! Why would you waste a Customer's time and effort if you plan on not resolving the situation? I did not intend to pay over $30 for a poorly sewn product and do not recommend doing business with the South Coast Plaza Popmart store.
