Girl who worked at the counter was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She humor me while I looked through all the stuff some of which I haven't seen since college LOL. They have an interesting selection of various tobacco pipes and all the other things that you might need like screens and a ton of juice for your vapor cigarettes. It was nice to talk to somebody who had knowledge about everything because I am one of those rare people who doesn't actually know what I'm looking for when I walk in the door of those places. Walked out with a pretty good deal. I would definitely come back here!

I had a rough start because I started at another store, where I was sold a bad tank by a guy who didn't explain anything to me, even after expressing that i had no idea what i was doing with vaping.

I'll definitely be back!!

I give this store 2 stars for being open late, which is convenient. However, a recent experience…read morewas a masterclass in how not to handle a pricing error. I tried to buy a lighter with no price tag. Lo and behold, it wasn't in their system. So the store's inventory and pricing are broken. Fair enough, mistakes happen. But here's where it went wrong: the employee, citing the late hour, couldn't get a supervisor to help. His solution? Guess a price. When I noted these are $4-$5 elsewhere, he wouldn't budge from $6, claiming "that's what his brain told him." The real issue: Why am I paying for their store's operational failure? The lack of a tag and a system entry is their problem. The inability to escalate it is their problem. The employee should have erred on the side of the customer, not arbitrarily pick a higher number. If the true price was $4, I was overcharged by 50% due to no fault of my own. This felt less like a transaction and more like being taken advantage of. It is not the dollar difference which is petty but the principle of it. Probably not coming back here.

this is what happened to me today! I got there and told the…read moreemployee I had left a new review yesterday thru their app, which said I would get 50 points for that, a year ago I also left a review and never got the 50 points, employee Melanie called whom she said was the owner, and he first said there was no such thing on the app, then when she looked it up her self and saw it, he thanked changed his story saying it takes 10 business days to show up, I asked him so how come with my other review I still never got the 50 points, he than said there's nothing we can do, we r not able to change or add points. Which is another lie bcuz many times I've been there, employees had forgotten to add my points and than did it right there. I said to him I've been coming to this store for over ten yrs and never had a problem. Also they have a program at this store that asks u to put your phone number and try your luck, well in over ten yrs, it never happened, and none of my friends also never got chosen, so it's just another lie to keep ppl coming. He also decided to not care if u have been a faithful cust even going out of your way with plenty of stores by me, but always choosing to buy there.now the new employee who's been there 3 mos, decided to be very rude to me saying either buy ur stuff and leave, or just leave the store. Even though I was not directing my disappointment at her, she took his lies, and I was the one treat like shit. Well my friends as an over 10 yrs cust I advise u to not go to this store, cause the owner will lie right to your face and worse treat really bad even when u tell him you've been a faithful cust for yrs. Bcuz of me over 65 friends of mine use that store, which I have sent a group email letting them know to use another store.. I also met ppl at the store who knew nothing about Kratom and I put upon myself to educate them and they left there with the product, I did it just over the fact I thought the store deserve it. But never again will I step foot at a SmokeBucks on 9475 Phillips hwy, I will ask at other stores if the owner is a different one and also advise all my friends. Trust me save yourself the upsetting time and the trouble and skip this store.

Took a weekend getaway with the wife from Southwest Georgia and came down to Jacksonville to see the sites and eat and smoke at different places!! Well we came to the Mandarin store and had the MOST PLEASUREABLE EXPERIENCE! Ended up get a few cigars and a torch and the guy gave me a bag to keep it in! Well I lost the bag and really liked keeping it nice. I called the store and I think it was the mgr, told her I lost the case and wanted buy a couple of them, she took my name and sent me about 5 of them! I really did appreciate that!!! THANK YOU AND I WILL BE BACK!!!! read more
