So you are looking to quit smoking and/or get into this "vaping" scene. You start looking online,…read moreand see all these cig-a-like brands with amazing reviews (as sites pay other sites for great reviews). You will likely try them, and if you are lucky to receive your package from customs, you will be intrigued ... but not satisfied. You will then go looking for more. More clouds. More taste. More trust in components and liquids. At this point, you will look locally as you recognize shipping costs add up and time is precious, and when you do, I can't recommend The Vapeshore enough. Wes and his guys?fam? have started a great store here on the west side of Toronto/Etobicoke (which is at the bottom of Brownsline and the Lakeshore, not where google thinks it is). I have been to a couple stores here in Toronto (more downtown focused), there are some good ones (like EZ Vape) and some of which offer cheap chinese components rebranded with their label. However, Vapeshore is a step above. Here you will have great customer service, with Wes willing to teach you the in and outs of the vape scene. It is all very laid back, and other customers/regulars/pros will likely be there and are a fountain of information as well. Vapeshore stocks all the e-cig hardware (and mods) that you need to get started or advance your collection, and offers a host of liquids from top Canadian brands--which frankly blew me away (after ordering from top US brands, waiting forever, and paying more only to realize the Canadian scene is far further along than I ignorantly assumed). Come to the Vapeshore, sit down, ask questions, sample top juices. Listen to what they teach and you will be closing the door on tar/arscenic and opening one to endless tastes and clouds. (Their website is under construction, but there is more info on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheVapeshore/timeline)

I drove down to the vape shore from Hamilton to try out a few of their e-juices as I saw quite a…read morefew interesting flavours online. I was hoping for a menu that showed the juices and what they consist of but they only had the names of them on the evod tanks for sampling, and no explanation of the flavor. the bottles were behind the counter and couldn't really see them or the labels. I use an RDA, asked for some samples to test/drip and they only had 6mg or higher nicotine when I just wanted zero. The staff were friendly and it was a pretty nice shop but there could be some improvements. I came to buy some good e-juice and left empty handed. Most likely won't return.

Hands down this has got to be the best cigar store in Toronto if not the whole of Canada…read more They have a HUGE selection here and an even bigger selection in their new store across the street. The walk in humidor across the street has got to be the biggest in Canada. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgable, you will not be rushed into making a decision no matter what your requirements are, they have a wide selection of Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran cigars. As well as pipes and pipe tobacco. they also carry lampe Berger and colognes and perfumes amongst other items.

Fantastic selection of anything a Cigar lover wants or needs. Customer service was also top notch.read more

Yesterday I bought a vape and it stopped working today, so I twisted It out to use it in a…read moredifferent battery and when I did that a wire came out with the cartridge. So I guess it was from the battery anyhow. So I put the cartridge in a different battery that I have and it still didn't work and I had a few more cartridges that I had bought from the same place and they worked. So it was specifically this one cartridge that wouldn't work. So I'm explaining that to the guy behind the counter and you know he's being very pleasant, but he's almost acting like how unfortunate of a situation it is... Which I was wondering why would he be behaving this way? Isn't he just going to replace it? So I asked him I said so are you going to replace it or what happens from here? And he said oh no we don't replace them and I said but I just bought it yesterday I paid like 40 bucks for it and he said yeah no we don't do that. I was completely beside myself as I literally just paid 40 bucks for it yesterday and clearly it's the battery they gave me or it's the cartridge like it has nothing to do with me and so he gives me a piece of paper with yocan written on it and battery beside it I guess maybe I'm supposed to get hold of yocan and then underneath it it says back 40 cush mint that was the flavor of my cartridge LOL. So I don't know how that is supposed to help me When I'm gone out of your store so I get home anyways and I totally see that there's these random stupid things written on the paper makes no sense. So I call the store to try and find out what's going on because there's no way on Earth that I'm going to get screwed over for my 40 bucks. I literally go shopping there almost every single day of the week like I spend so much money there. It's outrageous!! So yeah I call the store back and the guy that was on the phone seemed really pleasant and I'm not sure what's going to happen from here. If I'm going to get some kind of help with this cartridge of mine or if they're just literally going to just act like it's no big deal because the guy said to me. Yeah that's not our problem like that your vape stopped working or your battery broke. That's not his problem. So whose problem is it? I gave you my $40 for the vape and then I gave you the 20 bucks for the battery. Like whose problem does this become.... There's also a stoked around here amongst a couple of other weed stores that I used before. Friendly stranger came in the neighborhood. See because friendly stranger I've been using since these weed stores came into effect. So once they moved into my neighborhood I naturally went and started using them. Well, that's not going to happen anymore when I use the other place around here. Stoked! If something happens to your vape or anything that you have, they will deal with it. They stand behind their name... So I was you know mortified you know losing with the battery like you know almost 60 bucks right? So I will no longer be using friendly stranger and I don't recommend any of you use it if you value your money because if something happens to anything you buy from them they are not responsible for it. They will not help you. They are just not interested so I'll be going back to stoked where they stand behind their product. They stand behind their name and yeah like a legitimate business should I'm going to give this five stars only because I do not want to give it one star or it will go right to the bottom and people need to read this. Like when you go to their store they should tell you when you first walk in and become a client. Just so you know we do not stand behind our name. We do not stand behind our products. Just know that before you spend your money here!! Signed. Extremely disappointed, that a company such as yourselves "friendly stranger" does not stand behind their product or their name and or take care of your clientelle in a fashion that we deserve. I mean I must spend hundreds of dollars there in a week. Never mind in a month in a month I don't even want to know how much I spend there....

Stopped in last week to buy a bunch of packs of JUUL pods before I went travelling. I was sold…read morecounterfeit pods, spent $72 on 3 packs and threw them out because they were practically useless. Who knows what was even inside them. The packaging looked exactly the same on the outside, but I was immediately drawn to the foil on the inside which was a completely different colour. I didn't think anything of it until I pulled the cover off the first pod, and the entire top of the pod came off as my JUUL started flashing yellow and wouldn't accept them. Fooled. This happened to the second pod, and when I finally managed to get one to work the flavour profile was completely different of the 3rd and 4th. All I smoke is Virginia Tobacco and these tasted like some sort of cake. Incredibly disappointed with this store. I wasn't given a receipt so I couldn't return them. Waste of your money, don't shop here.
