If you're in need of certain devises.... this is a good place to go. They're not outrageously over priced like some other head shops, and in general they're willing to bargain with those of us "regular" customers. They're always polite as well, and parking can be hit or miss depending on the time of day because it's on "the Ave." in the U-district.

Sam has the best selection of all drug-and-tobacco accessories in Seattle. HANDS DOWN BEST PRICES on all glassware. Unless you're looking for a really unique, expensive, artsy piece (for which I'd reccommend a private blower...), this place is where it's at. Period. Impressive cigar collection, hookahs, whippits, scales, pee-clean kits, etc., etc., etc. SAM'S RULES!

They have a surprising amount of merchandise for such a small location. I've been stopping in here for years and they always have what I need. Too bad I didn't really know about it until after Off the Wall expired (I hated that place--all the sex gags there really skeezed me out). Sam's is a good no-nonsense, you're in and out in two and a half minutes smoke shop.

Sam's is awesome. Good selection, good prices, and the guy who owns the place and possibly lives there is really cool. He's almost always on the telephone but always has time to help you with anything. I think he's talking because he's bored more than that he's too busy to help his customers. He gives away free stuff if you spend a bunch. If you're in the know, you buy your para at Sam's.**UPDATE**As an herbal enthusiast, most keen on extracting the sweet aromas from various completely legal herbs to freshen the air in my home, much like one might use a stick of totally legal incense, I HAD to buy this herbal vaporizer called a volcano. If you haven't seen it, you probably aren't reading this review. These things, as you are no doubt aware, run in the 550 - 650 dollar range. So clearly, you only get one if you REALLY care about freshening the air in your home with only the purest, entirely legal herbal vapor-extractions, such as I, myself, very much do.Well, good old Sam comes to the rescue again. I had enquired about the price as I could get one on ebay, new for 539 with free shipping and no sales tax. With tax it's 545 or so. I said to hell with it, I'm already here, and the ... incense I've been burning... several, several times a day for the last year... has proved a tad carcinogenic and seems to have produced a bit of chronic, uh, productive, cough with uh... well, let's just say it looks like I'm a fireman. Which I'm not. So you see, it's really a health investment for me. But I digress.So then he's like "You paying with cash or card?" "Oh, you won't take a check?" I asked, hoping to get a rise out of him. "BAAAHAHAHA! No. Now you pay with cash or card?" He was completely unfazed. "Well, card, then, I guess." "I tell you what my friend, if you pay with cash, I can do it foooooor... 530, okay?" Hell yes that's okay! Several ridiculous conundrums later and I had cash. Long story short, I got a great deal on a brand spanky Volcano. The man is a deal maker, I'm telling you. Biiig smiles on his face last night. I love this guy! If he didn't smell of roasted goat I'd kiss him.

A few months ago I really really wanted a chillum. I hate bongs and spoons, because I once (okay, okay, TWICE) accidentally burned my thumb while trying to light up. And one of those times I burnt off half my thumbnail (and I was completely sober at the time). I have no idea how that's possible, but now I'm EXTREMELY leary of any device that I have to light vertically. Most of the other head shops in the U District I went to didn't have a very large selection of chillums, and/or their chillums were overpriced and/or poorly designed and/or ugly. Yes, I'm a girl, and yes, the beauty of my piece matters. Sam's has the largest and prettiest selection of chillums...so if you're looking for a chillum, go here first. (I would also recommend the place on 45th by Deep Roots--they have reasonable prices and they also had a pretty good selection of chillums when I went.)If you're looking for salvia, Sam's also has the largest selection at the best prices out of the shops I visited ($20 cheaper for the same 40atomiX purple sticky salvia).

I Love, Love, Love Sam's. I love it so much that I take a bus all the way from Cap Hill to the U District just so I can shop there for my smoking needs. They have the best prices on pieces here, and a great big huge selection. The guy that works there is always very nice and cool, and if you buy a lot at once or pay in cash you can usually get a discount of some sort. Sam's will not disappoint.
