I've been coming for over 4 years now - hard to believe I haven't reviewed this place so this is…read morelong overdue. The level of service is amazing. I still remember my first visit - I was really determined to quit smoking but unhappy with the mod I bought online. The staff checked my mod which we deemed was defective. I found another one here, affordable, & juices I loved. Needless to say, I've not once picked up the stinky sticks since. I moved away for a few years & upon coming back to Chicago, I'm happy to be back. Same great service, selection, & prices. Recently, I stopped in on Sunday, desperate. The tank on my mod was leaking all over the place & I knew a replacement was due. Joseph recommended me the perfect tank, coils to go with, & of course, I had to get another bottle of some juice. (Also recommended but a new favorite!) if you're thinking about dropping cigarettes or already enjoy vaping, pay this place a visit. While it may look small, the selection's great, prices are affordable, & service is stellar.

When the cashier told me the price of a product, I said that it was too expensive for me, then said…read more"have a good day, sorry for wasting your time!" He replied "the price is right there, you could've read it," then just stared at me as I walked out. The price labels were tiny and I couldn't read them. The cashier was also on a call on speakerphone while I was in there - said it was his friend. That's totally cool, but he was asking them (presumably his manager) if the store had the product I wanted and then asked me to find it myself and point it out. I had asked about weed edibles, which they have a whole shelf of. He didn't seem to believe they had any until the guy on the phone said so, but they have 20+ products. Maybe I just caught him on an off-day. Maybe he's a new employee. Either way, I left feeling disrespected and don't plan on returning.

I appreciated the customer service and how willing they were to accommodate my flavor/brand choice. The BEST part was that the owner offered us to smoke with him in the shop. They don't offer to the public, but the man was very nice and packed a hookah for us - watermelon mint. It was quite good and I'll definitely get that flavor next time. Thanks Majid! 5/5 from me!

Their prices are fairly good, but you know you can always find certain things cheaper online of course. The displays where on par with a local kind of business such as this and prices were clearly displayed. Long story short I felt rushed and unwanted and didn't get to see exactly what they offered. Long version: But getting down to the nitty gritty, I had a horrible customer service experiance here. The guy that was attending was a balding guy with a bill cosby-like sweater. When I walked in, he was helping out these two young girls who were just goggling some cheaper pipes, they eventually left and it was just me and him in the shop. He said hello to me ofcourse and asked what I was looking for, I responded that I wanted to browse a little first.(I came in for specifically a grinder and a one hitter but I wanted to check out the store because everything was so pretty). So anyways I'm looking at the stuff in the case and I could just feel his eyes burning a hole through me, had to be at most 15 sec since the first time he asks and he says what can I help you with, so I'm there next to the grinder so I say whatever let me look these 2 silver ones over here. One was bigger than the other but the more expensive one was larger than the other, so I ask to see both out the glass and the guy says "one is bigger..." in a tone that says he really means "hurry and pick one and get out of my store" SO with his excellent selling skills I pick the cheapest one naturally. Then I say "I'll take it but I wanna look at some stuff over here." (meaning give me some space) Again, I know what I want but I wanna survey what they have maybe for future purchases, right? So anyway literally 5 seconds later the guy comes up again and says "what do you want?" So I say screw it and point out the one hitter I wanted and went to my for my stuff. I don't know if you guys get what I'm talking about but I just know he didn't want me there for whatever reason... hmmmm I wonder why??? Just thinking about it pushes me to the 2 star rating. Sorry, I'm not gonna go anywhere I feel unwanted, and what more I'm gonna warn everybody about your lameass attitude on yelp :P

Not a CBD product!!!!!…read more There is litterally 23mg of CBDN in a 3g vape ------- Ughhhhh so unfortunately I have to write this. I of course tried to rectify this miscommunication prior to this as I don't want to hurt anyone. However I was just given a load of B.S so my hand has been forced. I went to the store on Tuesday (it was -25 with the wind btw) because I had ran out of actual CBD gummies and I have a health condition that needs to be managed. I had asked for a CBD product, preferably a vape. I was directed to this product. I asked "how asked how much CBD?" And was told "3 grams" it was insisted that it indeed has CBD and a good quanity of it. So I paid the 40$ and left. I opened the package hoping for a pamphlet to clarify, however I did not find any and went looking online. I went to the site itself and got the following screenshots. Went back today and asked if there was an exchange policy as there was a miscommunication error given it clearly is not a CBD product. There is a trace amount of CBDN however I'd have to smoke 3Grams of this product to get what could be got in half of a In-House CBD gummie. I was told "well I'd be out 40$" clearly it can be bought online for 12$ at retail so you know...wholesale... Mind you he was "concerned" about 40$...meanwhile i make 1350$ a month working with homeless children in domestic shelters...that 40$ actually hurts me as I barely meet my needs as it were. This wasn't a excursion to get a high, it's pain management so I can do my job... and I was asking if there was an exchange policy while apologizing. I can't speak for the other CBD Pharm products, but this is not a CBD product. There is litterally 23mg of CBDN in a 3g vape.
