Great staff. The lady who helped me today has helped me twice in the past and all three times with a smile and made me laugh. The store is always clean and even when they are busy they take the time to answer every question you have without making you feel rushed.

This was going to be a bad review because a few times I came in some of the staff wasn’t as knowledgeable as they should be but this one guy in particular (Q or quayln something like that) turned it around I came in upset that I was sold the wrong coil and he took responsibility even though he didn’t make the mistake and fixed it quickly selling me the correct coil and also taking the time to educate me on a few other things I was interested in he seemed to a have a varied knowledge base which was impressive to be some guy at the head shop he turned the experience around all the while training new staff, putting stuff on the shelf and answering questions his coworkers had. I was very impressed and recommend anyone who goes there to ask for Q

Ive been shopping here off & on for many years now, and Ive always left with what I went in for. My most recent cost was 3 days ago, and it was the first time I left with more then I had expected to buy. 😊 I wish I could remember her name, but the girl who helped me asked if I wanted to buy a disposable vape grab bag which I had no idea they even had those. (I was going in for disposable vapes and had told her when she asked if I needed help,so she kindly offered)I thought what the hell Ill try one. 😀The concept is GREAT and I would recommend them to others but I do have one tiny request if its possible ---> could there be non-menthol bags?? Maybe do non mentholAll menthol and then a mix.I personally cant smoke any thing menthol or ice (as the disposable vape refers to it)And my grab bag was literally all menthol except for one vape 😕 I really dont want to sound ungrateful...and love the concept... But if you guys could please consider my idea... Cuz Id really like to continue buying those bags...but I dont want to end up having to give what I pay for away because I cant smoke them...lol...

Nice staff, although Ive gotten the impression that the newer employees dont know anything about vaping or the hardware that goes with it. Been taking 15-20 min. for them to find my coils when I go in. They used to have really sharp, knowledgeable people working there...I dont know why the change lately

You cant ask more from a vape shop honestly, the staff and its customers are very polite and easy to deal with, they really make you feel good when you walk the the doors, friendly people isnt all though, they have some of the best products youll find anywhere and such a wide variety of products that youll definitely have a hard time going in without struggling not to break bank

I was looking for a disposable vaping device but they didn’t have any on the shelf in the milligram of nicotine I wanted. Q, the employee said “hold on, let me look in the back”. He came out with exactly what I was looking for! Excellent customer service!

Used to love the Gastonia store,but after my last few trips Ive been really disappointed in both the lack of useful stock as well as the lack of helpful employees.Sunday 08/23/2020 I visited for the last time. The majority of staff was out in the car not minding the customers coming in to the store. The employees inside the store had no knowledge about products being asked about I had one employee go get another who was clueless about glass pieces and components. When the outside employees came in all they wanted to do was play and cut up. Look I get it. Its a smoke shop and there is a certain vibe of a smoke shop, this was not that vibe. This was dont know dont care vibe. So we vibed our way up to your big green competition and got exactly what we were looking for and then some. I suggest that anyone looking for a knowledgeable but yet fun welcoming smoke shop visit the green shop with the little religious figure in the name.

So I guess they don’t care to hire or train anyone with common sense anymore. My deaf brother went in with a typed out list of everything he needed. They first didn’t give him batteries, then sold him the wrong coil and refused to exchange it and when they did finally sell us batteries they are dead and don’t work. Highlife will never get my business again, my brother felt like they were playing him because he is deaf and then to not take back the products you sold broken and wrong?? Absolutely horrible. This place has gone so down hill since Heather left being manager. Do not give them your business.

Review №28

This used to be my go-to headshop, with amazing staff that knew what they were selling and a cool selection. The past 6 or 7 months I see they have new people and maybe new management and it’s a mess. I’ve been sold the wrong coils and e liquid four times and now it’s to the point where I have to double check before I pay. Because even if the employees grabs the wrong thing you asked for, they still won’t let you exchange. These kids don’t know anything about vaping and it’s to the point where I have to get my vape supplies elsewhere. You already charge high prices, and you continually sell customers the wrong merchandise, and won’t let them EXCHANGE THEM for what they originally needed? What a joke. Train your staff better.

Brittany was SO incredibly helpful today when I went to find something for pain relief after multiple hip surgeries and a lower back injury. I ended up buying two types of Kratom to try, the Bumble Bee brands of the Red Maengda and the Bali Gold. 40 capsules in each bag and only $9.99 each. I’ve taken them today, as she instructed I should, and I definitely can tell some relief.I highly recommend High Life - they are knowledgeable and don’t try to force expensive sales on you just for the sake of making a sale. They truly care about their customers needs and will help in any way possible.

Review №34

Holy hell! Called here because I couldnt find Novo 2s anywhere and they had an overstock of them. The prices are amazing here. The reg price for a Novo2 device is about half what it is elsewhere. Juice is also the cheapest Ive found. 14.99 and 16 were avg salt prices which is internet price! Ive found a new favorite shop!!!

Great customer service! I walked in, there was at least seven other people in the facility when I got there and as soon as I walked up to any counter I had someone come up right away and say they would be right with me with a beautiful smile on their face and then maybe 30 seconds later I had their help!!! I asked to wicked two different things they gave me their honest opinion of the two different items and brought up great suggestions! Thank you I finally have a water pipe I enjoy!!!

Staff told me to try my new disposable vapes off the to side so I did and one didn’t work immediately after buying it but since I stepped outside to get away from everyone they wouldn’t switch it out due to store policy.

Staff are awesome! They help you with everything you need and take time to explain all of your questions. I even got CBD dog treats for my dog that gets scared when my message tone on phone goes off no matter what I changed it too. 1st day she still avoided me. Today she will get in my lap. Several employees personally recommended them and they were right!! I found my store!!

Very rude people. If they arent pressuring you to buy things you dont want. Or needThey totally ignore you. Ive went a few times and they are rude every time. They arent professional at all. I wouldnt recommend. Also check your receipt because they over charge at times. And they never put your items in a bag which irritates the mess outta me...

Review №58

My husband forgot his drivers license so they wouldnt sell to him which is fine. But, they didnt ID the other customer. You should ID everyone!!!

Jo
Review №59

Popular place, but not worth the hassle. The wait to talk to anyone behind the counter took forever, but it felt like I was bothering the sales person when I finally did. Not to mention that what I came in for was way over priced. Do more research on vaping equipment, including getting a feel for pricing before you go to a brick and mortar store.

Been shopping here for years and is where i get 90% of all my vape supplies considering they have pretty much the best prices around and my guy TJ there always gives me the look out and shows me all of the newest gear and products that they have at the time and tells me whats worth spending my hard earned $ on and to me customer service like that is unrivalled in the vape/smoke industry along with great pricing. I can promise you it is definitely worth your time for you to stop in or drop by and check out what they have....you may even be surprised
