I quit smoking and only vape a bit now so I gave these guys a try. The place is tiny, like the very front of a home. There is an old fire place behind the kid at the counter, funny, but they have a ton of stuff in there. The kid at the front was super nice and recommended the best Hawaiian fruit tasting juice I have ever tried. MMMM vaping it right now.... Thanks for the great and friendly service bro! read more

They never open on time. If they can't be there at 10:30am then change the hours. It has happened to me every time I have gone.

I would stay away from this vape shop. I called in to inquire about a Caliburn vape unit and I was quoted $24.99 which is the normal price at other shops. When I arrived the guy with the glasses working the counter charged me $44.99 and told me I must have misheard him. I checked the shops other reviews and there are other people saying he tried ripping them off as well. Don't get ripped off. read more

Green Vapors - Vape Shops Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Great service and cool products! The staff there is really nice and helps you out!!! If you're in Santa Cruz make sure to come by!

despite my first time, the staff is kind and I enjoy a disposable vapor. thanks. I am willing to visit and buy next time.

I am always being told that "Next week they will have what I want" and it never happens. I've been going to this shop for over a year and the owner doesn't seem to care about the customers needs. I guess his business is doing just fine without mine from here on out. I was going in once a week. read more

Small shop, but have plenty of vapes. Seemed sort of expensive but the cashier was friendly and helpful. Close to downtown area

I purchased the vanilla custard salt based vape flavor because they didn't have the one l usually get and the salt based juice made me sick to my stomach and gave me a headache. and the worse part is I can't get my $$ back so I am stuck with it! read more

Great spot! Always get solid and honest advice and they have what I am looking for. They are super on point and are happy to help you with whatever you may need. Good folk, great selection, and very solid service. Can't lose here. read more

Been supporting this business since it open, or at least tried. Countless times ive walked out of there without buying anything because they have nothing. They run out of stock quickly and then take months to replenish. You might find a different flavor as a substitute but they will be out of that next time you go back too. The selection is sparse so the choices run out as quick as the flavors do. The staff is really great so i write this review with remorse but I wont shop here anymore. read more

Incredibly helpful service. Great store. One of the best vape shops in America. Quaint quick and stocked.

Wasted my time and money coming here to get a vape from out of town. Waited for 1 hour for the store to open, when the hours say it should have been open by now. read more

favorite place to go for vape products, really nice staff and good vibes always. small place so it always feels familiar. hearty selection, and they never seem to run out of stock :) read more

Terrible prices walked in for 2 flume disposables and was ready to pay. The guy said it was 65 dollars I immediately took my card back and walked out. That is is bananas I usually pay 15 to 20 other places for these vapes for 65 dollars I can buy a whole kit coils and juice. He tried justifying the price saying it had 3000 puffs like I'm some type of idiot and I'd submit because of it nope nope nope those disposables never ever last like they say I should know read more

My new go-to vape shop. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I've been looking for a place like this on this side of the hill. Happy they are here. read more

Ugh, why post store hours if you're not going to abide by them? Other Yelp review here below is RIGHT--don't waste people's time. My brother has been to this vape store and told me not to bother anyway--their prices are not competitive (I guess there's not too much competition here yet), and the juice selection extremely limited. Next! read more

Service: Very nice and they know about there products. Hardware: Best shop in town. Great selection and prices Juice: Sampling through iclear16's is just gross. At least I need something I can use my own tip on or some disposable tip covers. Hours: this is the reason I'm posting in the first place, during the week they always close before I can get there at 5. Their posted hours say 11am to 7pm. And when I try to go there before work at 11 or 11:30 they are not open either. The only time I ever seem to find them open is Sundays at 5pm. All I could ask for is some sort of updated hours. EDIT: thanks for the update! every time i have been to the store recently it seems to always be open on time and i did see the silicone covers read more

Its a small store but the employees who work there are very nice and helpful. They can get swamped with builds from time to time so don't take it personally if you're not helped right away. This has been my go to shop for ecigs and juices for over a year now, and I always get what I need there, whether its a rebuild, ejuice, battery, or various accessories. One thing I like is how there are usually extra parts, namely buttons available for certain mods, not to mention if you have a mod and need more airflow, they will gladly drill your metal topcap. Overall, a very convienent shop with helpful employees! read more

A friend of mind attends UCSC so I visit Santa Cruz frequently. I went up this past weekend and lost my e-cig, so I needed to get another one. There aren't any other vapor stores in Santa Cruz, so I figured I'd give this place a shot. To start, I tried calling the store, but no one picked up, multiple times. Though it wasn't too big of a deal to me, I went to check it out anyway. I arrived and the building itself was small and hard to locate, but once it was found all was well. Their selection of mods was amazing, it was huge! I was very impressed especially with how small the place was. Their e-cig and juice selection was small, but the juices that I tried weren't half bad. They didn't actually have the product I wanted, which was a shame, but I ended up taking some juice home for a friend that day. In their defense, they only opened about 6 months ago, which is good reason for having a small selection. Although the store was small and hard to find, and the e-cig/juice selection was small, the service was wonderful. The two men working were kind, helpful, and informative. I'll probably return next time I'm in Santa Cruz just because I enjoyed the environment. If you're looking to get into Vapor products, give this place a shot. I haven't personally bought anything other than juice from them, but I can safely say that their selection is good, and it isn't a bad place to start. Plus if you live in Santa Cruz, there isn't much else... Unless you want to drive to San Jose. read more

I went here on Sunday because my cheapo e-cig was functioning poorly. Man, I'm sure glad I did! Johnny (I think that was his name--I'm bad with names, I'm afraid) was EXTREMELY helpful, and was able to diagnose the problem--a failing battery. He really did move heaven and earth to make sure I had a good experience and that my problem got fixed, and was very friendly and chill overall. The prices were quite reasonable as well, IMO. I'm currently unemployed, so my budget is quite low, and knowing that there's a place in town that sells vape stuff for a reasonable price is really nice. Combine that with the comfortable feel of the place and the great customer service, and...well, let's just say I'll DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

Came into green vapors knowing absolutely nothing except I wanted to switch from smoking to vaping. Jonah gave me the complete run through and set me up with a device that suits my personal preference. Honest, extremely helpful, extremely extremely experienced and knowledgeable. His in-shop builds are spot- on as well. The only vape shop I'll go to! read more

Green Vapors - A Clapton coil build by the man himself Jonah - Vape Shops Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

I'm a semi-regular at Green Vapors, but my experiences have always been poor and I wouldn't come here if there was other quality options in Santa Cruz. Don't get me wrong, its a quality shop, but the staff (during the week and on the weekends) is very poor at costumer service and doesn't seem to understand that it shouldn't take 25+ minutes to get one vape juice. This includes chitchatting on the phone while customers are in the store or simply not acknowledging my presence for more than two seconds. Other vape shops have sample mods so you can try out the flavors, Green Vapors doesn't so there is a bit of guess work when it comes to picking juices which would be tolerable if the employees were willing to tell you about there products, which in my experience they are not. For example, Green Vapors recently redesigned their display cases, which is nice. But when I asked if they had a juice in 3mg nicotine, the employee rudely said that they only have what I see there (pointing at the case) prompting me to get out of line and then proceeded to talk on the phone while other costumers entered the store and were helped in front of me. I felt as if because I didn't have some comprehensive knowledge of the products that I lost my chance to order. In the end, I got tired of waiting, wasn't getting my questions answered, and settled for a 6mg juice which I am not enjoying at all. read more

It sounds like I had an experience out-of-line with others experiences, so maybe I came in on a bad day? I came in looking for a specific thing (essentially a temporary nicotine-free vaporizer / e-cigarette) for me to try out while I was quitting smoking. However, the gentleman behind the counter interrogated me, my past smoking habits, and repeatedly made comments like "I just don't understand why anyone would want to buy that. It's just stupid". He wanted to sell me a permanent e-cigarette ($40ish) while I continued to point at and ask for the exact product I wanted (based on my own Internet research and advice from friends). I just don't get it...if you are going to work at a specialty store and I can see the product I came in wanting to buy on the shelves, why is an employee harassing me and telling me the product I want to buy sucks IF IT IS FOR SALE IN YOUR STORE? I was very unsatisfied with my experience there and ended up buying exactly what I wanted at another vaporizer store with no hassle a few blocks away. The icing on the cake was that as I was trying to leave the store, another employee told me that the fellow who had been berating me for my bad taste in their vaporizer products was, in fact, not an employee but a future employee who just spent all his time hanging out in the store. This was the most appalling part of the experience...someone hangs out behind the counter of your business, chases away and makes fun of potential customers, and then you add them to the payroll? What the heck? Count me out. read more

Sigh.... I've been to many vape shops and I can tell a newbie store that's just trying to make money and not educate people on the products. The guy who tried to help us had no idea about any of the mods that my husband and I were talking about and the vape juices were limited at best. read more

The REAL deal in vaping gear... Without the BS sales pitches & dishonesty of other local providers ("Yeah, I swear this is 100% organic!). Everything you need is here, and (most importantly to me), they carry a HUGE line of VG juices with all natural flavors. Who wants to vape propylene glycol when the veggie glycerin they mix hits perfectly and creates lush clouds of vapor? A loyal customer on a weekly basis, and treated great everytime. Thanks for providing exactly what downtown SC needed! read more

Top notch personal service and selection! Great juice selection as well as mods, tanks, batteries, etc! I will drive over the hill to visit them any day! read more

Went here for the first time today and was so happy to see such a variety of esmoke products. Good prices!

Nice and friendly service, a decent selection of flavors and mods. Only downside was that the guy working didn't know how to change a build set up. Not a huge de, just not ideal. Overall, this is an awesome shop and is convenient for the downtown Santa Cruz area. read more

Awesome experience . Let me start by saying I have been vaping on disposable Ecigs and completely randomly wandered into beyond vape with my friend so she could buy some juice . I bought a mod I was led to believe was the best for my money , but felt as if I was doing something wrong because the amount of vapor I was getting seemed so small next to the people I had seen in the shop . I made the drive from Watsonville to sc specifically to visit this shop and I'm So glad I did . The kid that works there, Jonah, is a borderline genius of the vaping world (and probably the world in general ) - half of what he said went over my head but he was SO much more helpful than beyond vape . I mean I can't even put into words what a great experience I had thanks to him. Beyond vape sold me a shitty mod with a shitty build - I'm new to these brands and products , but I learn pretty quickly and I was noticing some things that were reminiscent of the cheap voodoo brand I had tried in the past . I'm not going to go into detail because this review isn't about them, but Jonah absolutely and 100% made me walk out of there a million times happier with my mod -the rebuild he did was probably standard service to him , but he changed my entire set up , and to me , made me feel like he really cared about helping me get the best from what I had (I wish I had done a before and after video , it's insane ) Id also like to add that he made me feel like informing me was more important than my purchase (which , as I learned in a ridiculous amount of sales training in my past ) , leads to trust between seller and buyer therefore leaving the customer more inclined to make a larger purchase- I walked in to buy one specific juice and left with three , a battery, and a flawless rebuild from their no doubt irreplaceable employee Jonah (and no , I have never met the guy in my life , so this is as genuine as it gets - you know it's good service when your instant thought is to run to yelp and talk about it ) After a couple minutes interacting , I assumed he was the owner , and I can only guess that whoever hired him has to know how fortunate they are to have him (I don't know if the owners read these, but seriously , this kid needs a raise , he's worth more than all the beyond vape employees put together lol ) Like I fully regretted spending a penny anywhere else when I walked out of there - not because of anything he said , but because I walked out of there feeling like I knew a lot more than my former state of completely clueless , like I got a great deal, and ...well let's just say exactly the opposite of how I felt when I walked out of that previous store . I just dropped a ridiculously expensive habit of disposable Ecigs with the hope that I would save time and money , so to the chick that wrote she felt offended they were trying to sell her a rechargeable one , they were doing you a huge favor and you should've taken it as such . Disposables last an hour tops if you like to smoke at an average level and half of them come broken before you even turn them on . This is the way to go , and this is the place to make your purchase . I am pretty hard to please , I assure you , but I was thoroughly impressed . Small shop is the only downside, but they make up for it with everything else . Overall my honest opinion is that they have a great selection of products considering the size of the store , and mostly that their customer service is what sets them apart (albeit I can only speak on my experience with Jonah ) but IMO it blows everyone else out of the water . Thx again for such a pleasant experience and sorry for the lengthy review ! Hopefully someone finds it helpful :) read more

SO RUDE! I was trying to get a vape pen for the first time and the guy answers my questions with "I don't know". And they were simple questions about what flavors are available!! Plus the guy wouldn't put down his project for two seconds to acknowledge me! So unbelievably rude and unhelpful. read more

So awesome!!! Big love to you guys!!! Out here from the Bay Area with family and totally forgot my juice...you guys have everything and just what I was looking for!! Very knowledge and seriously just look next to the flower shop. It's totally worth the hunt for the door! Things I def couldn't find at home without ordering online. Thank you!! read more

Great service every time I come in roughly once a week. Though they can be busy at times, the staff always acknowledges customers as they enter. They are also incredibly patient and give good recommendations, which is a big plus for indecisive people like myself. read more

probably one of the better out of the few vape shops in santa cruz. Pros: the employees are super helpful and informed with an exception for one employee who is fairly uneducated about vaping and some vaping safety hazards, great juice selection (as well as selection of mods). Cons: parking is a pain considering its only street side parking, the shop gets fairly crowded from time to time. Over all great vape shop! read more

This was my first time in this store, and I was very impressed. Jonah helped me sample a couple of flavors, and I found they carry some of my favorite lines! I loved the local vibe at this shop and will be returning again. Some vape shops make me feel very uncomfortable, but this shop was very welcoming. read more

Came back after months to find the store renovated and looking brand new. I was looking for a smaller set up and was recommended an istick Pico with a spitfire tank by Nolan and have not been able to put it down. Also the naked 100 flavors have been realllly good. Thanks again! read more

This place is pretty great! The guy behind the counter, Jonah, was extremely helpful. I had been told untrue information by a previous employee, about being able to trade in a battery I had purchased. Jonah did all he could to compensate for the misguided information. I really appreciate it! read more

Best vape shop in Santa Cruz. Staff is super helpful. Jonah is on point with builds and knowledge.

They help keep vapors vaping I quite smoking cigs after 20 years thank to there support

Came in as a starter with minimal knowledge ,but the worker there was great. He was casual/ friendly and recommended me a different range of brands with reasons why. He also answered all my questions as to how things worked. I forgot your name already but thanks! read more

I come here all the time and the customer service is always excellent. Omeed has a huge selection of flavors and kits and is always genuinely friendly. If you are looking for any kind of vape kit he has pretty much all of them in a bunch of different colors and basically every flavor you can think of. Its also in a great location. I will definitely keep coming here. read more
