Wish I could give zero stars honestly. I went to this shop to buy disposable vapes as New York made them illegal to sell. Called ahead and they were nice giving me a list of what they had. I had bought a Hyde disposable previously but wasn’t super familiar with them. Well Hyde was the main disposable brand that they had in stock. Bought a ton of lush ice because that’s my favorite across all brands of disposables. Picked out a few others. And then bought a couple of a different brand. Ended up spending $297.50 all together. We’re on our way home and my boyfriend mentions they don’t have a scratch off sticker for the QR code that Hyde uses to verify its vape authenticity. I kind of was like hmm It DID have a QR code that brought you to a video about how to authenticate them. So I thought that’s what he meant. Definitely regretting that now. First vape in the batch lasted MAYBE 24 hours. They’re rated for 1500 puffs. The other Hyde I had bought from a different shop lasted me days. The first vape also burnt my throat instead of shutting off like they’re supposed to. My bottom lip also has tender spots on it now from the vape heating up that last time and leaving a small burn. Opened a second one to give it another chance and it did the same thing. So I decided to open the two that are different brands than Hyde and one didn’t even work and the other had corrosion at the bottom. I’ve been vaping for years and never had any of these problems.Look for the holograms on Hyde’s and a scratch off sticker. Now that I know I’ll never buy another one without it. They have an authentication code to make sure it’s not counterfeit.Overall the employees were great. But I drove an hour and a half to this store and spent plenty of money. To receive counterfeit vapes is just a slap in the face. I will be reporting them to Hyde since they have a counterfeit department and definitely finding a different shop. This kind of situation is the reason why good shops didn’t stand a chance in the states they’ve already been banned in.
Typical pipe & tobacco shop. Been going here for years now. Some nice local glass artists sell work here so its nice to stop in and browse their selection from time to time. They stock a nice selection of everything a daily smoker may need or want.
I wouldn’t recommend any disposables from there they have a metallic taste and are way more expensive than other smoke shops near by
Everytime Ive gone in the emporium I am instantly greeted with a smile and actually happy to help me
We are trying to go to every shop in vermont,we love great glass work
Everyone is the best. Any problems I have they try to help. Great employees. Thank you.
The best spot for premium goods
Tl:dr; Definitely go here for functional and affordable glass. If youre looking for highend heady glass, this is not the place to go.Just a heads up, as of today 6/28/21, they continue to require masks in store.Id say the Emporium has the largest selection in Rutland County - especially if youre looking for regular glass pipes, tobacco, CBD, or vape stuff. The quality of their glass pipes are decent, better than their water pipe collection. They have a fairly extensive CBD display and a large section of their store dedicated to vapes. Their vape juice is a little pricey, but thats the cost you pay for the convenience of brick-and-mortar.Ive always had positive experiences with the staff being helpful, kind, and patient with drawn-out decisions.
Employees are always helpful. I love this place
Great place for a quick cigar
Service was fair. There is a 3$ charge added to your total for a CC fee! Wont go there again...
Great selection, great prices, clean,easy to get to quick help and super friendly staff
Love this place. They are professional and the customer service is amazing!
Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very well stocked with just about any smoking or vaping supply you might need.
Can always find what Im looking for here!
Knowledgeable staff and a good selection of products.
I’ve been a customer here for years, and whenever I go in the people working are really nice and helpful. Recently I bought a new Vape Mod and within a week of purchase it started sparking, smoking and my batteries are now unusable and the mod itself has melted the terminals inside.You would think that having JUST purchased it they would consider doing a trade because I spent almost $100 on this alone and I don’t know how I would have broken or misused this product after having the habit for almost 5 years.I get that the store policy is ultimately decided by the owner or manager but I kind of feel really screwed out of $100. Very nonchalant “no returns or trades, store policy” and I don’t think I’ll ever be back. Now I have no way to smoke unless I buy a new mod and wait for what a month from the manufacturer? This left a nasty taste in my mouth, and I really can’t believe how they treated me. Be wary or just go to another sho
Today i arrived about 10 minutes before the shop opened. As i was waiting outside for the shop to open a employee came out of the store with 2 flags one was the American Flag and one was a open flag. The employee threw the American flag on the ground and leaned the open flag against the outside wall while he went out to the road then came back to the store pickedup the American Flag and plced it in the flag holder on the wall.Total disrespect for our American Flag
I agree with most of what other reviewers have posted. First of all I said hi to the employee and she didnt say hi back. Prices are twice or so of online shops. Especially the vape juice. The worst complaint is that they dont do returns even if the next day with receipt unopened product. All other online shops will stand behind their products. Why dont they? Will only go back in if I need batteries.
Large selection of your every day tobacco needs; all without the insanely jacked-up price of other smoke shops. A lot of cool merchandise as well as friendly staff
My daughter went in and loved the place...
Best smoke shop on rutland. Wide variety of nic salts and cannabis apparatus
Helpful staff, great selection
Very helpful in explaining medicinal products.
Would give 0 stars if I could its called robbery what they just did to me. I will never shop here again. Very sad that they tell you they cant do a return then only give you part of your money back in the cheapest products I have ever seen.I hope they free 6 buck is worth it. Worst place ever.
These guys are AMAZING!! I swear I stop in just to get a lift to feel better after a good laugh or two!! Fun, upbeat a d have LOTS of great stuff!
I go here for one thing, cigars. Thats it. Cigars, get it? Can they vape you, pipe you and whatever you? Is the Pope catholic? Anyway, it looks that way to me. Not my thing, but not judging. As for cigars, a pretty nice selection for a small town and an irregular smoker. The staff is head-shop friendly. They talk nice to an old dude and thats all I need.
Completely disrespected, was trying to see what kind of selection they had they kicked me out without hesitation, just because I didn’t have my ID with me, I am 21
Love the emporium
Absolutely love coming here. Supporting local is one reason, but the customer service is absolutely perfect. Way better than Haze Glass, thats for sure
I went into this place a few weeks ago and made a mistake of purchasing something from this store. I will never do it again. Prices are a lot higher than they are in Castleton and owner doesn’t stand behind his product. ( doesn’t take returns even on a faulty product returned next day) I also felt the staff didn’t know much about the products either.
Ive never encountered a bad experience at Emporium, everyone is professional and friendly. I have to drive about 45 mins to get there, and once I made it a few seconds before closing time. They let me in to quickly grab what I needed. Some stores will just turn you away. They carry a very wide range of products, and the prices are great too. Definitely worth the trip especially if youre more local than I. It seems like the state of VT wants to keep everyone smoking cigarettes, but for those of us who are vape obsessed, theres the Emporium!
Best shop around!!! Best prices, and a great variety of the best products. Amanda, Lisa, Cody and Jordan are amazing!! They are helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They take great care of their customers. They are not just out to sell, they truly care and want you to have a great experience and to love your purchase. Wouldnt ever shop anywhere else!!!
Decent selection of their stock. And every employee i have ever had assist me here has been amazing. Sarah is my favorite. Definitely check this place out.
Great place. Had a bad experience there; but all turned out good in the end! I would go back and recommend it to friends
The customer seevice is GREAT the people are friendly an willing to help an give you the latest news on whats good an whats not. An you leave there a very happy customer. So go check it out has alot of great products to offer.
Awesome staff!! Friendly and courteous
* Disposable vape selection is mediocre at best, Store is oddly dark, employee didnt want to be at work, and .... The shop is full of cheap chinese made glass*Good selection of merch, stickers and rolling supplys though* unless Im stuck in the area. Ill just head further up route 4 to Castleton for better selection, a smiling face, and products made in the USA
I really like the people who work at The Emporium, they are very personable and knowledgeable about their product. They have a full line of tobacco, and fine cigars.. and I see that they now carry the Leaf Only Fronto & Shade Leaf tobacco wrappers, which is really cool.. that would make it the first store in the area to carry Whole Leaf Tobacco, by the leaf. Ive only seen this in NYC so far. Its impressive that they have it!
Great Vape shop. Has a variety of juice and have always had pleasant interactions in here. Gonna miss this place since I’m moving back home.
This is the only ecig store that knows what theyre doing. Friendly knowledgeable employees! Great products! Great prices!
Decent prices, very helpful people
No replacements/returns, even if unused and broken/defective, not to mention over priced. Average product quality is low, the same items are available online, for a third of the price. I dont mean some off brands or similar products either. I mean the exact same products. Based on research from online shopping you can see the general selection of this shops inventory is all of the cheapest products available online. More than half of the staff members dont even smoke weed or vape, so youre left with a bunch of uneducated employees, selling you cheaply made garbage products for triple the price.
Always neat and tidy, no customer is neglected, never fail to help me find what I need within my budget. Great atmosphere and friendly employees with the best smiles
Ive been to a lot of businesses like this and this is one of the best. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. They carry a very large selection of products including some really nice locally made glass.
Great shop for CBD. If you want some THC try some local growers they cannot sell but you cant radar offer gifts I think theres a green leaf club or something like that on Facebook. At the store is
I usually have a good time when I go here. Friendly, knowledgeable staff always ready to help and answer questions
I LOVE THE EMPORIUM!! Every one is so helpful.. and the products are beautiful!
Nice place. Wide variety Helpful staff. Prices are average, as well as the quality of glass.
Great vape shop! Friendly people great products. I will return !
The vape flavors are good
SUCH good customer service. I went in 10 minutes before close for an emergency vape replacement. The guy (sorry i didnt catch your name!) was the most helpful Ive ever experienced in a smoke shop and whats more, he was friendly and explained why Im having issues with my vape and how to use the new one.
An extremely well informed staff that is very helpful and knowledgeable. Very friendly and a cool place to shop. Large selection of CBD, pipes & papers.
I love there apollo e-liquid they have! The have a lot of different flavors! The people that work there are very friendly and helpful!ow ya the hours on Google are wrong for Sunday they close at 6pm!
The best Emporium in VT! The staff here is great and super helpful. Great selection of cigars, glass and fun nic-nacks. This place knows quality at a perfect price.
Good price. Great for all shopping needs
I Love to go into the Emporium!! There is an Amazing amount of Vapes, Juul, Pipes, & Many other items to go with the items I have mentioned. Emporium Staff are knowledgeable of the items I have mentioned, as well as the many items that are sold there... Looking forward to the next visit!!
Literally bought a new brand name bong yesterday that was defective because of the factory, went into exchange it for another one...was told to go to Home Depot to patch it up. I never even got to smoke out of it. The worst customer service. Even after wasting time to check it. Out the gate he could have said we don’t refunds or exchanges
Lots of stuff but should not be listed as a tabaconist. Small pipe Tabasco and cigar section that staff knows little about. More like a vape store
Great customer service and an excellent selection of products. They answer questions with knowledgeable answers.
Great prices & awesome service!
❤ this place, everyones super sweet n knowledgeable af 😁
There definitely stoners but a great place none the less

Love this store. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Theyve got what you need. Happy July 1st 2018
Last two glass pcs bought here sucked as seriously! I dont smoke what others do but when you buy a bong, get it home and pick it up and the bottom separates from the rest of it or you buy a banger for 30 bucks and the moment you put a torch to it the damn thing cracks and all they can say is we have a no return policy on glass but we are having a 20% off sale so you can come buy another pc ummm no, I dont think so, I think Ill tell people to order on line at places that sell good quality products not this cheap crap from china.
Excellent selection of everything tobacco you can think of, great prices, and very knowledgeable and helpful staff!
Great Staff and friendly service. When I asked them to get a type of shisha they made it happen! I have reffered many folks to stop by!
Good selection, very helpful staff.
July 1st law went into effect prices doubled but they added more on top of the double.. money hungry, dont seeing this store lasting long..very disappointed in the money hungry..
Way over priced. Unfriendly staff that kind of reminds me of the character Daria. Small vaporizer section. Large glass pipe and other weed stuff. When I say over priced think 2x the price of anything online. E-juice has limited selection and 30ml is about the price of 60-100ml everywhere else. Avoid.Parking lot is usually empty and that should tell you something.
Good selection of ejuice and vape mods.
Clean, and staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
Very friendly staff and the owner is a very honest and all around great guy to deal with
Awesome selection, wonderful and knowledgeable staff, so friendly and helpful!!!
Best prices great staff
Excellent customer service, and a great selection of artisan pipes.
Nice shop with really kind staff...
When I was in rutland I always got my vape supplies there, prices are great, employees were always helpful, always had a good experience, but now that I have moved away, I cant seem to get good quilt vape supplies were Im at, do they have a Web site I can order from?
Friendly staff! Great place to get vape supplies! *****
Best place to get any smoking accessories you need. However, they dont have too much of a variety when it comes to vaping. According to employees, they will be caerying different vape juices
Love the products, employees are knowledgeable, friendly, and prices are fair.
