Sergei and company have been meticulously tweaking the experience for old school, newbies, and the "what is a vape?" folks. An interior with hundreds upon hundreds of juice/liquid offerings, and enough mods and pod mods to make any collectors dreams, they have anted up over and over again. Currently they offer 0% liquids with flavors, Salt Nic tobacco flavors, and accessories that will continue to keep them in the limelight of places to go when you need the necessary items. From a customer standpoint, they offer tutorials, recommendations, vape safety education, fair prices, and are willing to work with you when it comes to a return or defect, which is golden in the customers eye. If you listen to the radio, you'll hear their commercials, and it's great that they support local events as well!

There are two separate lounges that are for non members of the elite cigar and member of the elite cigar with guest passes. It's very quiet and very clean in the lounge. They are designed for people who want to smoke anything kind of cigar, hookah, etc that the shop sells. One of my friends accidentally spill the burned ashes from the cigar and the worker was nice enough to provide us the broom and pan to clean it off the mess. I would recommend anyone who is a cigar smoker to come here with small gathering or alone in a quiet environment for a change.

Looking at reviews for several local vape shops, it's clear that many of them are small businesses…read morethat aren't exactly run like "tight ships". I would assume this place is no different. However, I think many of the negative reviews you see at various vape shops are likely overdramatized. I've been vaping forever, so I can't relate too much to new people looking for advice. However, to those looking for a place to stock up locally, this place was able to get the job done for me. Simple transaction: I call ahead asking if they have Horizon Falcon M1+ coils. Guy says yes. I show up 20ish minutes later. I would've bought 10 boxes, but they only had 4. No biggie! I ask to take all 4, and ask if they happen to have Aspire Breeze NXT coils. Despite those being tough to find recently, they DID have 3 boxes. I take all of those as well. Dude was friendly... said "Glad we could help you out with these. Sorry we didn't have more." I say "No worries, I'll just do the same thing and call ahead next time I need to restock." Again, simple. Was it as cheap as the online vendors I used to purchase from? No. Was I expecting it to be? No. Was I expecting a small independent shop to carry a buttload of one specific coil? I had some hope, but no I'm not surprised they only kept a few boxes of my favorite crap around. Frankly, I'm just glad someone keeps a decent supply on hand so that I didn't have to run all the way down to my last coil, and I didn't have to drive to the other side of the city either. After calling 2 other west side shops and hearing them explain how they didn't have squat in stock, I'd call THIS transaction a success. I'll be hitting them up in a few months to hopefully re-stock to a larger degree next time. No theatrics, no drama.

After researching the brand (RA Royal), I became concerned about possible quality and health risks. I went back and tried to talk with the staff calmly, but they refused any refund or exchange just because I had opened and tried it. I expect vape stores to sell products that are safe, transparent, and lab-tested, not ones with vague or unverifiable claims. Disappointed by the lack of accountability and support when I raised a legitimate concern. I won't be returning. If you're shopping here, do your own research before buying anything, especially expensive items. Not all products are what they seem.

After taking a moment to browse the sheet, I named a couple that piqued my interest. The gentleman behind the counter tells me that they don't have anything I'm asking for. Understandable. I then ask for which juices he does have available. He never answers my question and points behind him to multiple drawers with small font, which I have a hard time seeing. He never bothers to actually inform me of the different flavors. Maybe perhaps he could have recommended ones that are popular, his personal favorites, maybe even offer me a sample to see what my friend might like? No way! Rather, he starts drilling me on what I vape, after I make it clear I'm just looking to get some as a gift. Based on his attitude, I can't imagine he's looking for a purchase from me so I save myself from his confrontation and leave ASAP. Overall, this is just a trashy place with a sketchy vibe. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Avoid this store; they deal in counterfeit products. They sold us two products which were fake. For…read moreone product, they exchanged it with an "upgrade;" this ended up being the real deal. The second product they exchanged for yet another counterfeit which we discovered after checking the product ID code online. When we requested a refund, they refused, even though they were well informed by this point that the item was counterfeit. I would not purchase from this shop ever. Although they do note on their door that they do not offer refunds, if you are selling a fake product and marketing it as authentic (as they are still doing, in the store and online, even though they know it is absolutely fake), any shop with integrity would stand behind their product and issue a full refund. Bad business, and have been reported to the government.
