Extremely rude female assistant, disrespectful and condescending! I just had the worst customer service experience at Smokey Mountain smoke shop. I came in around 1 pm today bought a small torch that was defective as soon as I got home and brought it back less than 2 hours later and the attendant woman (with glasses) working today was extremely rude and condescending to me. I wanted to simply return that one and spend more to buy a better product and she told me I couldnt, then picked up a new one and asked me Is this one working while laughing and being condescending. I called her on it, she kept making it even more condescending remarks laughing while turning her back. Then I said I wanted to spend more to get a better one for safety reasons and she started laughing (as if Im supposed to know there is no refund) while the other attendant who was really nice was trying to be helpful explaining there are no refunds at this store but it was too late. Im now stuck with the same product (new one in a different color) that I no longer want. Also the defective one was probably put back on the shelf so make sure yours is working before buying it. Even if there are no refunds in general this is a product I had just purchased hours before still in the brown bag with the receipt and bar code and I should have the right to a refund and to spend more on a different one if they sold me a defective product. As I took the new one and walked away the same attendant was very loudly talking to me thank you for coming in and Im glad I could help you while still laughing at me in front of other customers trying to make me look bad. I walked out with a product I do not want and obviously upset about how I was treated. I have been a customer there for years and I will not be coming back. This type off employee will turn customers away. Disrespectful and not trained to talk to customers.
Sold me a bottle of sad boy vape juice, when I got home and tried to fill my vape, the squirt part of the lid came right off. Half of the $20 bottle spilled all over me. When I went back to the store to switch it out for a new one, I told the group of employees what happened. There was a lot of glances and comments amongst themselves while I was left standing there wondering what was happening. I finally asked if I was waiting for something and was told someone went to the back, to ask what to do I assume. When they returned they offered me %20 off a new bottle... I just spent $40 in that store and now they want me to give them another $18 to replace a defective bottle? I told them this was not the resolution I need and they just stared at me then told me to have a good day.
Im always pleased by the service here.Enormous array of products with a knowledgeable staff. Win-Win!
Fantastic Smoke shop! All your needs for a reasonable price. The employees are all friendly and knowledge of the products sold there.
Nice selection of products, great customer service
Super nice customer service
Hands down the best smoke shop in the area.. NO ONE beats their prices or quality. The employees are so freaking nice I spend like 20 minutes in there every time just having good conversation; and the best part.. they let you try ANYTHING that could be defective in the shop to ensure it’s perfect. I got a mr fog max, it even worked, and they STILL let me exchange it for a new one with no hesitation because I told them it tasted a little weird AND she even opens it for me so I don’t have to go through that struggle. If that’s not great customer service idk what is.
Absolutely great experience with the employees today, Tiffany was exceedingly knowledgeable across all aspects of the store. As well as incredibly personable and helpful in the selection process. She is definitely making a positive difference for new and returning customers!
Staff is always friendly and helpful! Inventory is always full and appropriate prices!!
This is truly one of the best smoke shops in Jacksonville. They have some of the best deals and prices and their customer service is priceless! One of the managers, Emma, is the best sales person and always is recommending me items to try that I end out loving! She is always extremely super nice and helpful and I always end out connecting with her every time I come in, definitely recommend this smoke shop, and you will be 100% satisfied with yourVisit especially when Emma is there
Friendly staff got all kinds new stuff to keep up with the times
Best shop in Jacksonville, I 100% recommend to anyone. The store is stocked with quality products, and the employees are very friendly, and helpful, especially Emma. If you are unsure or looking to try something new, ask for Emma you will leave fully informed, and happy. This service, quality, and good prices are unmatched to any other shop in Jax.
Best prices on tobacco products.
Amazing service, very nice staff, and a lot of choices. Maranda was very nice and I would recommend this place to my friends.
I love going there. They carry my e-liquid, and at a great price.
I would advise to go to any smoke shop in the local area but here because the rude sales clerks and counterfeit products. On more than one occasion I have patronized this place and received poor quality puff bars and other vape products. Their main objective is to get you in and out. I purchased a Lush Ice puff bar it was counterfeit and they said they could nothing about it coldly. Mainly they need better customer resolution tactics because they could care less about anyone spending their money there locally.
Great place, nice staff. I will continue to shop here for all of my tobacco needs.
This place is awesome! So many unique items and a plethora of bubblers and pipes. You could spend a lot of time in this store and not even realize it. Extremely knowledgeable staff too. I was very unsure about what I wanted, but with their help and guidance I bought a few items and Im very HAPPY!!!
My go to smoke shop. Love everyone who works here, too! Always helpful and on point with product reccomendations!
I always shop for E-cigs in here. What I love about them that they ask you to try the product inside their store just in case it didn’t work
Def one of my fav smoke shop around
The girl that helped me out was very helpful and super nice I am very satisfied with the product thank you 😊
AMAZING experience!! Dina helped us and she was super sweet and made us feel comfortable. Best prices I’ve seen in a long time! The item we chose did not function and she was happy to exchange it for us. We will definitely visit this store each time we are in Jacksonville!!
Good shop decent prices
Last minute shopping trip huge rush not paying attention they give me instead of The vape I wanted one that was twice as expensive when I go back in they argue with me about the whole situation and did not refund or offer a refund or even to switch it out and give me a partial refund I wouldnt recommend this place to no one
Best smoke shop hands down, been coming here for about 3 years . Always a wonderful atmosphere & staff is always helpful!! I refuse to go to any other smoke shop!!
Ive been coming to this shop with my boyfriend for 5+ years and we love it. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices are great as well. During todays visit Jen helped me and she was great, friendly and patient as I went through different pieces. Would definitely recommend going here for any of your smoke shop needs.
They literally wouldnt sell me anything because i described what i was looking for. No warnings.. Im supposed to browse and see the inconspicuous signs even if i know the exact area i need to go.
Perfectly acceptable smoke/vapor shop with a good selection of e-liquids, pipes, hookahs, and more. Exactly what it needs to be, but nothing more.
I used to have good service here up until today. The woman at the desk was extremely rude. I recommend not going here anymore
Great store with helpful and friendly staff. They also have a good selection of products.
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! went in and bought a puffbar I hit it in the car and realized it had a weird taste compared it to my old one and the color was a little off. I looked up the code on the puffbar website and realized it was counterfeit. Called and they told me they couldn’t do anything about it & that I should have checked the code inside. also told me they have never had anyone that said they got a counterfeit from them but from the reviews I see thats not true. LITERALLY GO TO ANY OTHER SMOKE SHOP BUT HERE!!
This is my absolute favorite store in Jacksonville, FL. Each and every single employee working in that store are top-notch customer service titans. I am a repeat customer there and at least 80% of the time, as soon as I enter I verbalize loudly Im home! or finally I have returned to my home I have never been to any store of any type that has had staff so solidly proficient in their product. I cannot recommend Smokey Mountain enough. As soon as you enter, you can just feel an air of peace. Highly recommend A++++++++++
Ive spent a pretty good but of money here. Today was treated with absolutely zero respect. Lost a good customer over that 5 dollar part.
I came in last night to get some shisha for my hookah and saw the most beautiful water bowl, but had no clue how to use it. Not only did Nina tell me how to use it and what it does, but she also told me about the health benefits of the water bowl vs traditional ceramic or silicone. The staff here is awesome and extremely knowledgeable. This is definitely my go to smoke shop!
Great selection of product. The staff is awesome super happy and greet you with a smile.
This place is your amazing local smoke shop. Ive been there about 12 times or so in the past year. The cute Russian guy thats always there is friendly but not pushy. He helps as needed and knows his stuff. Their prices are great compared to certain smoke cities so I always come here first when I need something or when Im just shopping. You wont be disappointed I promise.
Friendly staff that is very knowledgeable of many products! Hands down one of the best shops on that side of town!
No one was wearing a mask. Not the person working there or the customers.
Sold me a faulty Cartridge that did not work, I called them and was told there’s nothing they can do... YOU SOLD ME JUNK YOU CAN GIVE MY MONEY BACK BUT YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT TO! Don’t buy Buyers Beware! All Battery’s Carts Vapes from this place are JUNK and I don’t appreciate you stealing 7+$ from me. I will not ever return to this store facts.
Ignore the two most recent ignorant reviews of this shop. To the person who asked about crack pipes... of course you were asked to leave, all products sold by any shop of this sort is for tobacco use only... Basically pipeshop 101. This shop has a great selection and a great range of cheap to nice equipment. He is still expanding and constantly adding new product, he is always ready to help and will answer any questions you have. I have spent $2000+ in the shop by now and its usually my one and only stop. Dont be discourage by the other bad review either... 4/20 is not recognized by TOBACCO shops, and as someone who is well versed in that here 7/10 is not some up and coming day... get over yourself dude.Long story short... spend your money here!
With one of the largest selections of the glass and glass accessories in Jacksonville, Smoky Mountain is a highly recommended and a reliable smoke shop. What I like most about is that they always have the newest products nearly as soon as they come out. Their glass selection is huge and features some of the most sought after glass in the industry. Head over to their store now and see if they have anything that interests you. I came in here and got what I wanted with help from they guy who works their and paid within a few dollars or cheaper than the online price where the others stores I went into doubled everything. I would come here dont waste your time going to every other shop.
We’ve been a regular customer here for 5+ years and have been 100% satisfied every single time. Smoky Mountain is the only shop my husband and I ever go to. We met Nina today and she was fantastic, she hooked us up with everything we needed and more! If you’re ever in this area definitely stop by Smoky Mountain you won’t regret it!
Amazing smoke shop! Best prices in Duval with amazing customer service to follow. Ive been coming here for about 6 years. George, Chandler, Nina, Jordan, Lisa and Jenn all know what theyre talking about! Large selection of products to fill all your needs.Come check em out!
I called about a puff bar that i have that usually last me three days and it ran out in less than a few hours i explained that i was at work and really hadn’t hit it much and once i got home i was hitting it a few times and it started not really hitting unless i hit it really hard and the same thing happened to another one i had and it started tasting burnt and the girl said that i could be lying and bring in a old one. i come in about every three days to maybe a week to get a puff bar and the girl on the phone was very rude saying she didn’t know what to tell me she couldn’t help me.
This wasn’t my first stop. My friend and I went to several smoke shops around Jacksonville and had a mediocre experience. The service here is exceptional and we didn’t feel like we were being forced to make a purchase. We both ended up buying two separate water pipes with new bowls. The service is outstanding and we will be coming back in the future. Please stop by and come share the same great experience we had.
This is the best shop to go to in all of Jacksonville. The guy who works there greeted me and helped me out with everything that I was looking for and had superior knowledge on everything. After letting him know what I wanted he showed me a few items that were exactly what I needed and a fraction of the cost of all the other stores. The place has tons of inventory with anything you can think of and still is expanding. 5STARS!!
I love coming to this place all the time for anything and everything i need. From the quality of the items and service to the prices in store. The salesperson Nina was so sweet and really helpful in helping me in the store. Her help is appreciated everytime i come into the shop.
The best smoke shop in Jacksonville!! Great staff and great customer service. Just about whatever you need or want is here. Coming from New York my husband and I feel right at home. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!!
Love the product choices plus the staff is always friendly and helpful.
I love this shop. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Today Nina helped my buy exactly what I was looking for. Great shop. My two sisters are now customers.
Great selection of glass and the staff are SUPER helpful! With helping me expand my collection and with helping me teach my friends what good pieces really are! 10/10 would totally recommend.
I buy my e-liquid and my coils and such here. The guy that runs the place is always fair, hes ordered stuff for me and he let me test things I wanted to try.Most other shops you have a hard time getting someone to be helpful or find someone with product knowledge.Never had a single issue here and thats why I go there every week for all my stuff.
Some cashiers way better than others but my biggest thing is that a lot of the stuff I buy seems defective? Ive bought juul pods and had them leak and two different universal vape pens randomly quit working within a week. I used to like this shop but I can find better quality elsewhere.
I bought a scale about a week ago. When I got home it didnt work at all. Tried to switch it out, and was told No. Id avoid this place, and go to Smokebucks on Phillips Hwy.
Great store‼‼Customer Service was awesome. Go see my Tiffany🤙🏾
I love this place! Great prices, great products, and great staff. Ive been coming here for years and never leave disappointed. They beat gas station cigarette prices by at least fifty cents, the hookah tobacco selection is phonomnal, and the staff there is always knowledgeable and pleasant. Plus they have a lot of cool e-cigs and juice flavors. And the best incense scents in town Five out of five, this place is the best!
Best smoke shop in town. From prices, selection and atmosphere..hands down.Place to go for everything you need.Great discount program too!
Amazing staff💕
Just moved here. Walked in to buy vape juice which this would probably be my everyday place to purchase but I asked a question about a product that the guy was trying to sell me and.... He kicked me out!?!? (I do not do drugs nor have I ever). There’s sketchy people in there. It’s like your clearly a head shop selling bongs and pipes and stuff with pot leaves on it that looks exactly like pot but if I ask a legitimate question (seriously a legitimate question) you kick me out with pleasure. This is America. No sir I’m not interested in that it kind of exactly looks like medical marijuana “get out!” That’s insane. It seems like they must be under investigation or something. All I want is vape products. It’s like if you have naked girls walking around and I walk in for a drink and I ask “is this a strip club or something?” “Get out!” “How dare you these aren’t actually strippers they are “stripper like”.
Love you guys, but if Im sitting outside your locked front door, 15 minutes after your opening time, youve lost a customer. Ive seen 3 customers leave. Im now the 4th.good bye business .good bye money
Very Rude female working 2/29/20 at nighttime.. used to be my favorite place would go out of the way, won’t be back
Takes forever to get help or even conduct a simple transaction. Sketchy people constantly in the store. Rude counter people. Amateur hour at its best. Save your time and money and go to Smoke Bucks on Phillips Hwy.
Very good discounts. Always nice people.
I get my vape juice from here and the prices are so good.
Dont shop here if youre an avid hookah smoker. The owner was apparently too lazy to continue selling higher numbers of full-size coconut coals in a single box due to distributor supply issues. They unfortunately now only sell half-sizes in 90 pieces and full-sizes in 72 pieces once they stopped carrying this particular stock containing full-size 120 pieces resulting in $5 profits over long run. Once again, please take your business elsewhere.
Nice location. Great selection. Pristine customer service
The guy who works and owns the place is very down to earth. He is professional and has pretty good inventory on both quality waterpipes and hookah stuff with variety. Its not ridiculously overpriced like all the smoke shops on Beach.
Attempted to purchase a $350 glass piece. One employee said I could get 10% discount on it if I did some type of rewards program, but at the counter when being checked out by the manager he refused this and would only give me 5% due to the high price of the item. This was not the issue and did not stop me from trying to purchase the item. After the manager reluctantly swapped the type of dome for the glass piece, I tried to finalize the purchase but was informed that they do not accept credit for totals over $150. Needless to say, I walked away empty handed in a similar fashion to the Smokey Mountain smoke shop, as I intend to find another piece of glass from a different store and spend my money there. I had cash to spend, but it felt like the manager was really trying his hardest not to sell the item. Ive heard of a credit minimum at stores, but never a maximum...
One of the best shops in town. I shop here exclusively. Owner is a great guy, prices are good and selection is awesome.
Wide selection with friendly staff.
I absolutely LOVE this smoke shop!! Every time I’ve been in there, the staff has been incredibly helpful and and swears any questions I have had.My most recent purchase was a new Vape to help me quit smoking cigarettes. I got the Smok Stick Prince Baby and a week after I bought it, I accidentally shattered the glass tank housing. Went in looking for a plastic one to replace it and ended up walking out with a great replacement. A couple of days after I got that, I noticed that the tank would leak out all my juice pretty quickly. I contacted the store and explained my issue, they thought it was a defective coil, which happens, no biggie. They replaced the coil and I went about my day. Well, that didn’t fix the issue completely. It didn’t leak as quickly, but it still leaked out my juice overnight, so I reached back out to the store. George chatted with me through Facebook and ended up replacing the whole tank piece with a brand new one to make sure that the product I purchased worked and I was happy. It’s been since the end of November and so far, the new tank has been great and I haven’t experienced any of the leaking issues at all!!Whenever I have friends looking for a good smoke shop to go to, I tell them to hit up the staff at Smokey Mountain and they all love it too. Thank you for taking care of your customers and making sure that at the end of the day, we’re happy. I’ll definitely be coming back to them for anything that I need!!
Came here on 7/10, money ready to buy a new piece to replace my old one that broke.I asked if there was a sale on water pipes for 710 and the guy looked at me like I was crazy and told me he has no idea what Im talking about with an attitude. I proceeded to ask him again, if he has a sale for 7/10, as it is like the 4/20 for concentrates.He then proceeded to start getting aggressive in his tone with me and told me he still has no idea what im talking about and that his shop only has tobacco concentrates. As was walking away, he continued trying to talk over me as I was trying to say theres no reason to get aggressive with me, and he wouldnt let it go until he got the last word.BOTTOM LINE IS: Stay away from this classless establishment, if youre a real 420/710 lifer and expect good vibes from the people that work at a headshop. They definitely will never be getting my business again, unless Im desperate. Their pieces are all overpriced and the selection is disappointing to say the least anyways, Ive checked. See my other disappointing story about this shop below.Other Bad Experience: The one other time I came here, also ready to buy a piece to replace the broken one, I found out that the store does not even let you water test the water pipes, to see how the air flow is. (You really expect someone educated on glass to go spend 400+ on a rig when you wont even let them try it?) This is also when I perused all of their water pipes for concentrates, finding that they were all overpriced or cheaply made glass for the most part.- An extremely disappointed customer
I came into store two weeks ago and worked with Jordan who sold a bottle of vape juice, two atomizers and a battery and was told to come back with any issues. When returning had a bit of an issue; however, George the owner promptly replied to the issue and immediately rectified my problem. I posted an unfavorable review and within an hour he replied and assured me he would make things right. I came back into the store the following day and George was incredibly helpful, explained why the original atomizers would not work, walked me through using a replacement and much nice atomizer and explained much more about using the vape I had than anyone has ever done.I assured George I would update my review based on my customer service interaction with him and here it is.I would now return to this shop and recommend if you have any issues talk to the owner. He did what he said he would do and that is not typical with business folks now days. I respect his follow through and the facthe took time to make sure his customers were happy Thank you.
Very informative employees always pleasant to deal with 😉
WARNING!! Is this place or has this place been under investigation? If you don’t want to have to find out and don’t want to get stopped by the police, I suggest you not visit this store.We visited this store to purchase AL Capone Cigarillos and the odor eliminating spray 1/5/19 at around 6:00 p.m. The messages on the door should have been a red flag for us. The second red flag should have been the extremely rude Caucasian female behind the counter who appears to have a great need for mental assistance.We entered the store having a private conversation but no matter where we went in the store, the rude female behind the counter interjected into our conversation. When I asked about the odor removal spray, my companion stated “You act like you smoke weed…[always buying those sprays]”. The referenced female instantly appeared to require high doses of mental medication and asked us to leave the store. As puzzled as we were by this, we left without a scene. As we were leaving she said “Until it is no longer my Constitutional right to ask you to leave, you have to leave because we do not allow you to talk about anything illegal in here.”Shortly after we left the parking lot, we were pulled by the police, which leads me to believe that either she called the police or this store is a place of interest for investigation. If she called the police, I believe that she really needs an extremely high dose of psychotic medication. If she isnt the owner, she is losing the owner money and can possibly cause a business loss.
The store has a lot of options, Nina was very helpful an was able to assist multiple people.
Great selection and great prices. The staff is super friendly and quick to help as well !
Great selection of all things tobacco. I love that they carry Nat Sherman cigarettes
Always have what I need for a great price, professional and informed staff
Awesome customer service. Got the wrong size tobacco piece and they exchanged it no problem! I was expecting to pay for it! Most smoke shops would make you
They have great customer service, and a very nice place with everything you’ll need !
Love this shop! Its the best. Come here all the time
Great place prices and selections way better than some of the shops in Jacksonville, FL. Highly recommend this place.
Great place, nina is the best! And the manager is really respectable.
Ive been to all the vape shops just about in Jacksonville and this one has the best atomizers. Most of the atomizers I buy from other vape shops fail within the first 4 to 7 days and the one I buy last me almost 15 days.
The staff at Smokey Mountain is very friendly and knowledgeable about their products.
The guys at Smokey Mountain helped me find a great piece, the price was what I was looking to spend too. 10/10 would come back
Place was very professional, great selection of products! Nina was very helpful!
2/19.. Very rude unprofessional supervisor. I needed help with just questions about a mod i brought from this location. Although this location is only a mile away from my house I will never return there because the lack of proffesionalism.
This is the best smoke shop in Jacksonville they help you save money great service ever everyone is just so nice I shop there like 6 time a day everyday.
Nina was very professional...she helped set up my vape and she was amazing!!!!Great Service..give her a raise!!!!
Wouldn’t allow my fiancé to purchase a piece due to the fact he called it a bong instead of “water pipe.” Told him he had to come back tomorrow and re-ask using the right words because “he didn’t know him.” 😂😂 ridiculous. I’m sure if my fiancé didn’t have an accent he would’ve been treated differently. Will not come on again.
Jen was great, best service ever. Deserves a raise!
The Teller girl working 11-19-2018 was completely and extremely rude to me. Definitely lost a customer today.
I love this place especially the Russian guy. They will never lose my business.
