    Sam's Smoke Shop on Harbor & Victoria, same center as the 99 cent store
    Sarah F.

    I came in here on Wednesday (12/27/23) at around 2:15pm, (I didn't catch the name of the guy working there, so hopefully the time stamp will help owners identify who he is), and I was looking at Terp Slurps. I asked him a few questions and he begrudgingly answered them, but it was extremely apparent that my questions and I were a huge annoyance to him. There were no other customers in the store, so it's not like he was swamped and I was demanding his attention away from anyone else. He just wasn't interested in doing his job or making a sale. I asked him if I could look at a nectar collector, and he didn't verbally reply so I thought he was ignoring me until I looked up & saw he had walked over to take it out, and he handed it to me without a word. Honestly the entire experience was just tense and awkward and uncomfortable. Before I left, I asked him if I could look at the basket of dab tools, to which he replied "they're all the same they just have different colored tips" This was not accurate. I could very clearly see that they were not all the same, but he just wasn't interested in doing his job I guess? Idk maybe I caught him on a bad day. We're all entitled to bad days. But part of being an adult in this life is leaving your s#*t at the door and doing your job. Lost a sale due to his attitude. ‍

    2 identical small mods.    Sams-85$, Vaping Industries-39$

    This place is bad. I bought some Humble vape juice called Creamy Crunch 60ml 6mg Nic., I take it home and open it and it smells like a nasty chemical reaction comparable to formaldehyde. If you smell it you would immediately back away from it. So I bring it back figuring no problem the sh-tuff stinks, and Sam takes a whiff, looks down at the name and says it smells like a creamy delicious dessert! (actually said it smelled like creme) Now I know I am dealing with a con man. Creme does not describe the smell of rotting carcass. So I check on the vape mod that I bought, he charged me 80 something dollars so I'm figuring its a full size mod, from the box picture I wasn't sure, I open that up and its a little small thing that shouldn't cost 80 bucks! I drove my bike a block south (actually 3 Blks.) on Harbor Bl., to another vape shop, and bought the same little mod, different color, for 39 bucks plus tax. Obviously the guy is out to rip people off once and then relax because they ain't coming back. Go south of this store, same side of Harbor Bl, for a honest vape store.( Vaping Industries)

    Again I will recap my story from the other Up In Smoke store reviews. Yes the Up In Smoke stores…read moreare family owned and operated by my guys Mike and Murad. I used to chat with Mike at the store he managed on Bristol Ave formerly. Now today I got the story straight from the crew at both locations and my guy Johnny at the location here on Newport Blvd North and Wilson in Costa Mesa. First, make sure that you're headed north on Newport Blvd back in the direction of Santa Ana. Then just past 23rd Street you'll see the stop light at Wilson. The center is immediately on the right, be careful as the parking lot is rather tight. Also there's the 7/11 right next door. My guy Johnny was also super nice and accommodating when I asked him if I could take some pictures. One thing I noticed was that this location also has a good selection of Kratom from various brands. Really nice to add to your coffee or in a protein shake. Also this location has a cool Zippo lighter display with a decent selection of cool lighters. A slightly larger selection of Hookahs than the Newport/Balboa store. Everything else is solid and quite comparable to the Balboa store. Fantastic service whichever locations you might find yourself visiting. What I personally like is that these are family owned and operated, veteran owned, and have provided the community around Costa Mesa, Newport, Irvine, area for over a couple of decades now. You can't go wrong with stopping by any of the stores, they have exactly what you need and the best crews in store there to help you get exactly what you want. I HIGHLY recommend the Up In Smoke stores whichever location is nearest you. Enjoy!!

    "Congrats, You Lost a Loyal Customer Over a $1 Water Bottle!"…read more I've been going to this smoke shop for TWO YEARS, dropping enough cash on vapes and juice to probably fund the owner's next vacation. Easily over $2,500 in clouds of fruity smoke. So imagine my shock when one of the owners comes sprinting after me like I'm shoplifting diamonds... over a ONE DOLLAR WATER BOTTLE. Mind you, they've given me water for free before. But suddenly, this $1 bottle must've been liquid gold. The look of pure existential frustration in the owner's eyes was like I'd just asked him for his firstborn child instead of a sip of Dasani. I guess loyalty means nothing when they're counting pennies. So here's the deal: Thousands spent on vapes? Check. Loyal customer for 2 years? Check. Free water bottle? DENIED. I hope that $1 was worth it, because you officially lost a customer who practically pays your electric bill. I'll be taking my vape habit (and my thirst) elsewhere. P.S. Next time, maybe save the Olympic-level sprinting for actual shoplifters... not your regulars who keep you in business.
