They sell vape pens, but when they don't work they don't want to exchange or give you the money back. He told me to call the number listed for the store and I did... guess what- disconnected (412-212-8997) the other number listed (412-540-5960) NO ONE ANSWERS. Business is booming and they know they sell faulty products with zero intentions on correcting the issues. Had the never to offer me a discount if I purchase another fuc*ing pen!! read more

Forbes Tobacco - BACKWOODS VAPE PEN SOLD AT FORBES TOBACCO! THEY DONT WORK AND THEY WONT REFUND OR EXCHANGE - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Save your money and just go to any of the Sunocos around Oakland. Products come in packages that have obviously been opened and resealed -- concerning anytime, but especially during a pandemic -- and die immediately. One of the guys tried to be helpful in finding a puff bar that worked -- we went through their entire stock before we found 2. The next time it happened the guy told me I wouldn't get my money back and he was going to call the cops if I refused to leave without a refund. And speaking of pandemic precautions, staff is almost never wearing face coverings and they don't seem to enforce it with patrons either. Social distancing is nonexistent. I have no idea how they're still open if this is how they practice business. Assuming it's because they sell to a lot of college kids who are too drunk to know that they're being scammed. Literally the worst business I have ever been to in my life. Seriously, save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

I thought I went through the first vape I bought here more quickly than normal...then when I got an ElfBar that tasted burnt right out of the package, I contacted ElfBar directly. Turns out it's a fake. So Forbes Tobacco is selling fake vapes; who knows what's in them. Also there's a ridiculous up charge of like 10% if you pay with card. They won't mention it, there's just a small sign near the card reader. The service is atrocious. Once I stood at the counter for 20 minutes while the guy was sitting there on the phone having a personal conversation (on speaker) and completely ignoring me. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

THIS STORE IS A FULL OF MUGGERS!! I purchased 3 hookah flavors and the guy said $46 but charged $55 under the name of "4% extra charge when credit cards used". I immediately returned the products and asked for refund. I said he initiated it but never did. Such a FRAUDSTER !! I called and called and called but no one picked up. I was not refunded my $55 at all. He is selling the flavor box for $20 but if you go to Loft or other tobacco shop, that same box you will get it for $15. The guy working here is very rude and keeps on telling a story of why the hookah flavors are so expensive only in their store. This city is not NYC or LA for the tobacco prices to be that high. NONSENSE!!!! It is a trashy store with filthy thieves working in it. Please close this store and do the world a favor (fraud-ass)! read more

Everytime I go in here, I get the same younger gentleman and he's rude every. single. time. He has AirPods in and is on the phone the whole time. Doesn't seem he cares at all about customers. I'm buying bulk product and spend at least $60 each time I visit and he's just restocking shelves while I'm sitting waiting to cash out. If you can find your product somewhere else, go there. Masks aren't a thing here at all. And their prices are higher than normal places and you better have cash, or you'll get charged some ridiculous "fee" of like 5-8% for using card/Apple Pay, etc. read more

My friend and I bought elf bars here.. and they are FAKE. After having them for barley two days they died & did not recharge. The line was out the door and the man at the counter was not very friendly. Not to mention he did not id anyone while we were in there including us. Now i'm not one to be upset about no id... but if i'm getting fake products i'm going to snitch. This place was dirty and smelt musty also. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

The battery fall off while I was using it literally 30 min after buying. Please do not come here and go somewhere else. Scam

I got whatever I needed there. I wish they had more variety & selection rather than a lot of the same thing. It's good for what it is. It could improve though. read more

everything they sell is fake, nothing works. bought 2 elf bars: one straight up didn't work despite trying to clean it out and charging it, and one didn't charge read more

They sell fake puffs and over charge for everything. **Puff has discontinued sales in the US so any puff you're buying is fake.** even so, I've bought maybe 6 puffs from there before I knew this information & they all died within 20 minutes of buying them. Absolutely trash. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

dont go here they sell fakes. i bought an elfbar and it died a day later and wouldnt recharge. the light was also on the opposite side but i didnt think anything of it. they also failed to id me and i am a minor but thats besides the point. ALSO they charged me an extra $5 when i usually get them for $20. read more

Pretty sure they opened puff bars and resealed theme packaging is obviously tampered with and scratch off stickers aren't there.

Sold me a cigar wrap that was dry and when I came back ten minutes later to try to exchange the one dollar wrap for a new good one the owner and cashier told me I probably had the wrap out of the package for too long.The whole store seems pretty shady honestly. Also, it is pretty over priced. Try Head of the Glass instead for a better head shop experience read more

AVOID!! This place sells fake items- bought a pack of JUUL pods there (he made the price up on the spot, as they do every time)- when I opened the pack, the pods had clearly been removed, smoked, and placed back in the packaging. Remarkably shady. Went back in and kindly requested a replacement/refund only to be told "I don't need to hear your bulls**t, get out." This place has been investigated by the FDA for failing to ID minors for tobacco products, amongst other things. If you take a look at other reviews, my complaint is clearly part of a larger pattern of fraudulent and exploitative behavior. read more

This dude sells fake products. He sold me a fake Pax for 200 bucks that broke two days later, and i hadn't even gotten a chance to use it yet. If you confront them, they'll tell you to talk to the owner. They use that as an excuse so they can give you a run-around. They all pretend like the owner never comes around, but they own it themselves. Don't go here for anything. They're all a bunch of frauds and they wont give you your money back under any circumstances. Best way to not get scammed is to avoid this place entirely. read more

Kinda pricey but it's worth it, had a large stock of everything I could've possibly needed, overall pretty great experience but would definitely be a 5 if the prices weren't as high as they were read more

I was looking for a battery and wanted something that could hit well. The worker there recommended a battery that cost $35 (looked online later and it cost $22). He said if I was not satisfied, to simply bring back the battery. I wasn't happy with it for the price and tried returning it in person about a week later. The man working there said I had to bring it back when "the other guy" was there and to leave my name and number. A week passed and I received no call, so I called the shop and they wouldn't take the return saying all sales are final. I explained that I was told I could return this and the person said that I need to come back when the person who sold me the battery is working. Now I am stuck with this overpriced battery. Go to literally any other vape store. There are dozens and this one has 1 star for a reason. read more

Stay away as a previous reviewer wrote, this place is a fraud the merchandise they sold me was conterfit. I contacted the manufacturer they advised me that i had been sold a fake. When i went back to the store they told me that they never sold me anything even when i had my receipt. They even went as far as threatening to physicaly harm me. Thank god i paid with a credit card and have a means of recourse. read more
