Multiple glass pieces and rigs, came in looking for bear quartz products and they gave me a good deal on the glass piece. Update : wasn't able to even use it before it broke, they offered an exchange when I informed them it was cracked but haven't gone back read more

Hands down one of the best smoke shops in Monterey! I had such a great experience at NorCal Smoke Shop. The staff was incredibly nice -- genuinely welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable without being pushy at all. They took the time to answer my questions, made sure I found exactly what I needed, and even surprised me with a free lighter just for stopping by. It's those small touches that make a big difference. The shop is super clean and well-organized, with a great selection of products at solid prices. You can tell they care about their customers and want people to leave happy -- and I definitely did. Whether you're local or just passing through Monterey, this place is worth a visit. I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

I needed some stuff and the staff recommended the best for my needs. Will use again when I'm in the area read more

Bought a Geekvape E100 mod from them, that they recommended, but it leaked from day one. Weak magnets and no seals. Bad product. I took it back for a fix and they said to just clean it with alcohol! Obviously that didn't work and they wouldn't give me a refund. They don't stand behind their products, don't understand them and don't give refunds. Ever. Their mark-up is almost 100% above internet prices. If you have a choice, shop someplace else. read more

Nor Cal Smoke Shop - Vape - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Monterey, California

I wish this could be a positive review.. this store in the past has served me well on visits to monterey. But the current crop of salespeople is sadly uneducated about the vapes they carry.. there is a clear difference between an atomizer assembly and a coil, because of a lack of education and refusal to use the same terminology as the manufacturer cause me to waste 8.00 worth of gas to meet with a swarmy salestype who honestly did not know the slightest bit about this. kept on calling the atomizer the top... its a Yocan Evolve XL Atomizer.. learn to call it by the right name so you dont waste ANOTHER CUSTOMERS TIME MONEY AND PATIENCE FOR FOOLS. Needless to say this store is off my preferred list permanently.. when amazon puts you out of business NorCal smoke shop.. at least your management will know why. and the careless staff does NOT mask.. I do NOT recommend shopping here read more

I searched all over for a beautiful pipe for my friend. And Nor Cal was right in my backyard. Their staff were amazing. Found it! Beautiful pipe for my friend. So grateful. read more

Excellent Service Excellent Staff Excellent Stock Wide Varieties of Supplies Wide range of products Excellent location Excellent Prices .... Was visiting Monterey areas the other day and I broke a part from my dome and needed replacement . Went to Google to search for smoke shops near my location . A few places were recommended so I picked NoCal smoke shop as the reviews rained excellence ! Yuuuupppp is what I'm saying !!! Wall to wall of products fit for all types of pockets . Too bad NoCal smoke shop isn't located where I actually live because it is a great place that I recommend anyone looking for a superb and well stocked smoke shop ! I Love it A lot !!!! read more

Always have a wonderful experience at this shop. We're loyal customers, here every other week to restock on juices. Customer service is top notch, they're always super patient with me (which is saying a lot because I'm pretty picky) and always have great suggestions for when I want to branch out. Had some issues with my vape today when I left the shop so I ran back in and Moe figured it out, fixed it, and saved the day without complaint! Love this place, love the selection, and love the people! Can't beat it read more

Nor Cal Smoke Shop - Cute lil Kirby mouthpiece! - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Monterey, California

I came in for one main thing as my Christmas gift for myself, and picked up a few little goodies too. Everyone was super friendly and helpful! I definitely will be back! Thank you! read more

This review isn't necessary, because everyone knows that Nor Cal Smoke shop is the best in the business. However, they constantly go above and beyond to work with their customers and they deserve to be commended. Whether you speak with Sean, Mike or any of the other staff, they're knowledgeable and ready to provide whatever service you need. Never once have I left this shop without being 110% satisfied. The glass they sell is always of quality, from generic pipes to Brand name pieces. Almost every other vape shop in the Monterey Bay area has closed for one reason or another, yet Nor Cal has up-kept their inventory and sales for one simple reason. Nor Cal tours the most knowledgeable and caring staff, while it offers the best products, for the best prices. Winning combination as far as business practices are concerned! Thanks for taking care of us Nor Cal! read more

Best Kratom selection on the Monterey Peninsula. I have scoured every smoke shop in the region and these guys are king. You will find tons of options across all price ranges. read more

Michael, who I believe is one of the owners, was very undermining and unprofessional. I definitely don't recommend this place. This place sucks read more

I used to come to Norcal Smoke Shop all the time! I love the shop and all the employees but recently had trouble with one of the employee, I had gone in on Thursday and felt very disturbed and bothered! I was getting help with a new bottle of vape juice and the person that was "helping" was a short African American with curly hair and earrings, who kept asking way too many questions about myself and "what I do for fun" and "if I was doing anything later tonight" and just was very creepy!... I ended up making it clear to him and gave him the message as if I was clearly not interested and he responded with a deranged and disrespectful behavior... not to mention he did not even look 21 to be working there! and had the audacity to get mad at me. read more

I'm going to start my review by stating that this review is 100% about the vape section of this store. The glass and other items this shop sells are amazing. I will start off by saying this place has great hours; they are almost always open when you need them and will generally have whatever item you need. The staff here is also for the most part pretty great. When I first moved to Monterey a few years ago, this is where I purchased my first setup. I also regularly bought juice here for convenience and because at the time, online prices for juice weren't much cheaper. This store used to have a wonderful selection of vape products; tons of mods from quality companies, rebuildable products, including wire for coils. Im not sure what changed, but if you go into this shop now looking for vape products, all you are going to find are products from SMOK. Pretty much everyone in the vape community has recognized SMOK products as 100% garbage. They used to make great products, but they have become chinese mass produced garbage. If you buy a SMOk product, it will fail on you. Their coils will burn out in a day or two. I get it. SMOK products are cheap, which is probably the reason this shop still carries them, but I have a feeling it's more an issue of this shop being out of touch with the vape industry than knowingly selling crap. I have had great experiences with everyone in this shop except for the dude that is in charge of the vape section(the guy with glasses, I don't recall his name). On multiple occasions he has made outrageous claims that make me question if he has any actual knowledge of vape products. On one occasion, after I had tried returning SMOK coils after they had started burning out in under a day, he told me that "all coils are like that now from all brands, that's how they make their money." Sorry but that is just ridiculous and is either a lie to keep making money selling shitty coils, or he just doesn't pay attention to anything in the industry. Another time I went in to ask about some RDAs and the same guy said that they don't carry any rebuildables any longer because "they aren't popular in the vape world any more". Uhh.. What? Rebuildables are literally one of the biggest products in the vape industry right now. He also has tried charging me almost double on bottles of juice that I had bought just a few days earlier from other employees. I could go on and on about this crap but I will leave it at that. I am so sad that this place has gone so downhill, as I really love supporting local shops and I really enjoyed this place at one point. read more

The guys at this place will do you right, give you a good deal, and their selection is off the hook.

Absolutely hands down the best Customer Service around!All the guys at the shop are awesome!They are knowledgeable and on it!if they don't know,or have what you need they will find out,or get it. They say they are family? Not so sure about that.....Is it possible for one family to have so much Greatness? Well good job mama somewhere out there because these guys are solid! Mo,Ray,Sean,Jordan,Morgan,Nick,Chris,IslamAND Michael. Can't forget Michael;) Great Customer Service! Knowledgeable with their products and Just real raw good peeps! Lisa R. read more

I have been frequenting Nor Cal Smoke shop for almost 10 years, and year after year it only keeps getting better. Between customer service and amazing selection, this is THE smoke shop for glassware, accessories, and a massive section devoted solely to eCigs and Vaping. If they don't have it in stock, they will order it for you. If you need assistance and have no idea what you are doing, they will not only help you, but treat you well no matter how basic the instructions. The staff is always eager to help you out even if you aren't ready to purchase. There has never been any pressure to buy a product in stock, and the staff would rather help you out and educate you, than sell you something you don't need just because it costs more. I really can't say enough good things about Nor Cal. When things have gone wrong (an extremely rare occurrence) the focus is on making things right as quickly as possible. While all the staff is amazing, Mike is hands down flat out amazing. Ask him anything you want to know, and he will go out of his way to help you learn. He alone would make shopping at Nor Cal a fantastic experience, and is one of the nicest people I have ever come across. If you are in town, or live within driving distance, it is definitely worth the trip. Even just to marvel at their inventory, it would be worth stopping by. My wife and I will always go out of our way to find an excuse to stop in. Thank you to everyone at Nor Cal. But especially to Mike, thanks for everything you do. read more

Love this shop. Very helpful and friendly staff. I haven't smoked in years but my boyfriend gets his items here. They deferred payment when the power was out and allowed us to cover it on the next visit. Thanks! read more

Great place. I buy my vape pods here and everyone is always super friendly and helpful.

Local glass experts. Helped fix my water pipe and has extensive knowledge/ variety of glass and different methods of smoking

Made a Yelp account because i needed to leave a review! Without a doubt 5 stars for this review. Everyone in there are very knowledgeable and helpful. My sister got me into vaping as soon as I started getting bad with cigarettes. The staff will go above and beyond to meet your needs. Whether you want a certain juice, or a certain mod, they will order it and not rip you off. I've been to other smoke/vape shops, picked up the same juices and all were overpriced compared to NorCal. Special shout out to Michael, never feel like I'm getting ripped off and really enjoyed all of my transactions. NorCal is the one and only place I'll be going for my vape supplies here on out. read more

There is one person where who if your unfortunate enough to talk to you will have a bad time. Everyone else her is fantastic, funny, good sense of humor, willing to help you out, doesn't get upset from a little bit of haggling, but there is one person here who kinda ruins the good name of this business, won't say names because the boss probably already knows. read more

I got four words for ya: I love this company! Wooooooah! Amazing selection of pieces for many price ranges, papers, blunts, silicone bongs, everything you need to be a high brotha pie, aHAHAHA! The apex of the vortex of stoner consumerism. This will be the spot for all my cannabis needs. Thank you Nor Cal! read more

Amazing shop!! Exceptional customer service, everyone in there was helpful and friendly. We will definitely make the drive down from Merced again! Thanks for being so awesome! read more

I don't even know where to begin. I have been a customer here for almost 10 years now, I bought my first piece of glass here way back and these guys are practically family at this point. Nor Cal has become one of those "staple shops" not only in my life but a lot of my friends as well and with good reason too. I started going here for shisha and coals for my hookah back in 2006 when I moved to Monterey after a bad experience at the head shop across the street. Immediately I knew I had a new smoke shop. I have had the privilege of watching this amazing little smoke shop grow into what I personally think is the best smoke I have ever been in. Even back in 2006 you would walk in the door and the first thing you would notice is the impressive and unique collection of glass ranging from cheap sneak a toke to top end works of art from some of the best glass blowers in the industry. Over the years the shop has grown to include a top quality vapor bar with a massive selection of gourmet fluids & mods and even an impressive section dedicated to cigars. The staff is always warm and friendly no matter how busy they get. it doesn't matter what you are looking for as far as smoke supplies these guys probably have it and if they don't they will usually do their damnedest to get it for you, how's that for customer service?! Oh and did I mention prices? If you are looking for a great deal this is the place to go, not only will these guys help you find a piece (waterpipe, bubbler, pipe, etc) or new vape mod that you will love, they will do it within your budget. I feel like Nor Cal Smoke Shop is a must visit shop for any of you 420 friendly folk or vapers in town for the weekend. Even if you don't plan to buy anything definitely check out their amazing glass collection, chances are you'll walk out a happy customer. I know I always do =) read more

I love everything about this place. They have some of the best quality hookahs and hookah flavors for the price. The staff is pretty great at suggesting different flavors or even techniques to make sure your shisha experience at home is great. They obviously have a lot more than just hookah essentials- but to be honest i've never really strolled to look around at everything else. read more

Okay so I can't say enough about this shop!! I hate when people write a story but this IS the exception!! The short and skinny of it all I am now the proud owner of a beautiful, original, unique, milk glass "tabacco" (Mmhmm) pipe.. Cannot wait to show it off!! And yes I said milk glass people, it is beautiful!!!!! YAY!!! The back story on why I was so pumped on the shop: I lived in Paso Robles oh i dunno a minute ago.. and had bought an awesome dragon steam roller from a guy who was looking to come on some cash.. LOVED IT! I had it for a long time and was a real attention getter and conversation piece. Until one day, it was set down wrong and the dragon broke off inside. :( I knew the piece came from monterey but I had never really ventured to the area. Ended up moving down to LA and hadn't been back to Nor Cal in many years. Came up for Seca, and seen the shop on the way back from cannery. For some reason I had a thought hmm I wanna go in there. The following morning my "traveler piece" got dropped. Grrr.. So I scurry over to lighthouse where I knew I had seen the 2 smoke shops across from each other... My decision to go to Nor Cal was purely b/c of the name. Although I did think mary jane was a cool name but a little cliche for me. So I go in and man! I was like a damn kid in Fn candy store!! BY FAR HANDS DOWN THE BEST SHOP IVE BEEN IN, IN YEARS! For these reasons: Staff was off the chain awesome and nice, Shop was very welcoming, everything is set up for viewing and is not cluttered as most are. SELECTION man can say enough about, what ever you are looking for it is here i guarantee it. They have your "cookie cutter" cheap get er done glass, but i would definitley would say theryre specialty here is specialty glass. Nice selection of family guy and south park pieces.. So funny! Most of the pieces may have the same concept but are still different! Each piece is truly its own. No one will have it! Again AWESOME! So I had asked for the steam roller section, so he shows me. As Im looking I see Dragon rollers!! I thought no frickin way! So I asked are these something you carry always? it was then I learned that this shop has a private glass blower that they go through. Translation: they are there to give you quality and satisfaction, not just out for your money! We talked more and I realized this was most likely the shop where my beloved dragon roller had came from! Although he had dragon rollers there was not one that was just like mine, or for that fact one in the case that was "exactly" alike. Just makes the piece that more special. Guess Im saying this shop is for those who smoke frequent and for those who collect glass. I am so happy I went here! Now when I come to monterey the Nor Cal smoke shop will be on the list every time! Why, so I can take home my own piece of originality, looking forward to coming back just so I go to this shop! read more

While on vacation I went to this vape shop. They have great prices and very helpful. I was having.issues with the mod I had bought so I took it back in the next day and they tried to fix it and ended up exchanging it out for me with no hassle. Great guys. Great place to go read more

I've been going the this smoke shop for about 6 years now and every time I go in I get treated with the upmost respect and like family Mike and Moe knows what's up with everything, they gives you the best prices and is always willing to go outta their way to make you happy by far the greatest smoke shop I've ever been to.

Nor Cal is the best place to buy vapor products in the Monterey County! Not only do they have a large selection of flavors and devices, they have a very awesome team with tons of knowledge. Mike always make me recommendations for the best flavors that meet my standards and find the next best tank. With the help of their expertise and recommendations, they did an incredible job getting me off the tobacco! (Since October 2015) +Great Selection of Flavor +Plenty of Options on finding the right device +Great Customer service +Competitive Prices +Store Hours are super convenient read more

Fast, efficient and plenty of selection for all. Knowledgeable and they sell cigars! Open late is a huge plus

I brought in my service dog and they didn't even bat an eye, which was nice. They had a great selection of products- from glass to disposable vapes to cigars and more. Definitely recommend based on the product selection... maybe not so much on the attendants as one of the two was on the phone the whole time. But he did acknowledge me as I was leaving and made sure he thanked me and wished me a good day. Overall 4.5 stars. Really dig. read more
