First time at this shop. Needed to pick up some items for my home. I was greeted by Rob. He was so helpful and nice. He didn't rush me at all. I was able to explore the store and he was ready to help. There is a great selection of products for all your needs. The store is clean and smells great. I definitely will be shopping here in the future. read more

Balboa Smoke Shop - Outside sign - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Expensive and horrible service. Did not give me my exact change back, they stare down any woman you bring in. Would not recommend.

I gotta give balboa a shout out. I came in to buy a banger. You should come in and stop by, they have the sickest collection of bongs, recyclers, percolators. I am a loyal customers, their business provides the latest up to date products at a reasonable price. Genuine dudes Haha just pop in. read more

Come here all the time very clean very friendly easy parking. He always has what I need in stock with better prices then most

I get my vapes here! Favorite are the flume vapes. I recommend this spot to everyone interested in smoking.

Beware of the juul pods they sell here. Cannot vouch for all flavors but the mango is definitely a knock off. Went looking for mango flavor pods since my auto ship with juul was backordered. Asked how much it cost and was told $35. This is almost double the price as the juul website. Asked him if it was legit, and he gauranteed that it was real. Even had the nerve to tell me that the ones I ordered on line are fake after telling him it's sold from juul. Got the price down to $25. Asked him again, you're sure it's real. Again he gauranteed. Totally a knock off. Color was bright clear yellow. Tasted nothing like the juul mango pods. Was sour with a super strong mango taste. I've been using mango juul pods for the past 3 yrs... at least 1 pod a day, so I'm pretty certain I know what it should taste like. Definitely a knock off. Original juul pods arrived 2 weeks later and did a comparison to see if juul changed their recipe. Nope. Still the same as always. Will never return. Use to be a regular customer here to buy cigs. Never coming back. Ripping people off by selling fakes, claiming it's genuine , and charging double. Bad business practice. read more

Every time I come in here the dude tries to overcharge on everything. I know my math so it doesn't work on me. Somebody should call the police on this guy. read more

Bad business. Sells broken vapes and won't replace with them misfiring infront of their faces. Will be removing the 5 star review when I regain access to my other email. read more

Sold multiple broken vapes, and when tested and shown in store, they said it would be 10 dollars each to replace them... seems like this is happening to other people as well. I hope people see these before going. read more

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for disposable vapes. I've bought a few disposable with different brands of vapes and they taste really fake. The guy always gives you a weird look when you come in. read more

lying ass guy lol.. bought juul pods. they're $25..tell him that online they're only $16.. he says they're not original lol crazy guy. so he charges me 18... cool, i took em. come back weeks later, same thing. i ask if he can give me the same deal, he forgets he ever hooked me up. oh well‍ $25 is a rip, but i desperately needed them read more

Waited at the glass for help and the guy says "hey I'll help you" and proceeds to help 7 more customers while I wait. Don't waste your time here guys they're much more concerned about making the quick cigarette sale. Try one of the other million smoke shops around. read more

Needed a charger for my eGo vape pen. It was $2+ cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Kits were much cheaper than anywhere I've seen with starter kits around $20. There were plenty of colors, plenty of options, and the prices can't be beat. For a general smoke shop, the selection was great, with tons of testers and friendly, knowledgeable staff who had immediate answers off the tops of their heads. My only complaint was that, of every flavor they had, they didn't carry the specific brand or flavor I was looking to try. I left happy anyway, with a bill of just $10 for a charger and 10mL of 12 mg e-liquid. I'll definitely be back to get my fiance a starter kit. read more

Horrible business. Went in to buy smokes, and the guy talks me into this new electric cigerette.....says theyre the best, its great...had a reputable name, so i tied it. Cost $50 for the starter kit. Within two weeks it wouldnt charge anymore... Had problems from the first few days. I took it back and he not only wouldn't return it or exchange it..... all of a sudden his English got weirder and all he could say is "I can do nothing!" Then had the balls to tell me to take it to 7-11 cause they're a dealer for thst brand. I told him, "So are you and i bought it here!"........ and back to, "I can do nothing." I used to buy all my smokes there..... never again. Not only did they do bad business..... they back nothing they sell, and care nothing about the customer. There's a million shouts like theirs, do yourself a favor and pick a different one cause "they can do nothing!" read more

Looks pretty good to me! I'm reviewing mostly their cigar section. Most smoke shops don't have many cigars and usually sell glass. This place has glass, humidors, cigars, cigarettes and a bunch of other things. Their cigar selection is quite generous and they have names from Padron to montecristo to Rocky Patel, and many more! Range from 3 to 20 some dollars. Of course their prices aren't as good as online, which can be up to half the price, but you have to wait a while to get it. I've been to probably 10-12 smoke shops for cigars, and their prices aren't as good as here. Some hours, they're extremely busy but its a great place to browse. Guy running the shop is ok at helping, but a tiny bit pushy. Just ignore him if you wish. He just wants business. I will be back again! read more

This place is absolutely scandalous because of one game/gaming machine. You put quarters in and they fall down and push more quarters off a ledge that pushes more quarters off another ledge that eventually fall down for you to win and keep. On top of all these corners are packs of gum with anywhere from five dollar bills to $100 bills taped to them so you can win big money. The machine is rigged basically scam city going on in that place I can't tell you how many times I have seen poor innocent people trying to have some fun and win a couple dollars go and and spend way more than they should if you go and see for yourself you will definitely understand it is just very very unfortunate that something like this is allowed and such a great Smokeshop. When it comes to the prices they are all pretty much fair and even fairly low but there are some exceptions on brand-name merchandise such as roar vortex etc. read more

First of all i went to that store more than once, and let me share my experience with that store. Most of the vape juices they have are expired. I bought 3 naked juice bottles and all of them were expired and he refused to return them to me, and he even couldnt understand me and no need to mention his rude way. I bought vape from him too and it was really over priced. It ended up that it was FAKE vape. And when i went back to him, he lied to me and say no that one os original. And he is really talking in a very rude way. I swear to god, i never seen a bad service like that. read more
