Amazing. On so many levels ;)

I bought something here, and when I got home I saw on my receipt, "All Sales Are Final".I hate to do business with any place that has a policy of no returns, under any circumstances. If you sell stuff you gotta figure that once in a while something is defective and a return is in order. I will do business there on ocassion only because it is the ONLY place anywhere near me that I know of. But I will be very careful as to what I buy there and for anything over a few dollars, I'll go somewhere else.Was going to buy a vaporizer but now I won't buy it there because of their no return policy. I'll get it on the net instead, where they allow returns for defective merchandise.Also, this place is by no means a "one stop" head shop. They have no whips for replacing your vaporizer whip or ? and VERY limited replacement parts for bongs. The clerk I spoke with was very nice but not very knowledgeable. Is it really that hard to find someone who wants to work in a head shop who knows about head supplies?The ONLY reason to go here is if it's way closer than any other place. Otherwise, drive to Venice Beach or Hollywood. The Spice Shop on Sunset in West Hwd definitely has a much better selection of parts. Not sure about the places on Venice Beach but I will find out and post back here.I bought something here, and when I got home I saw on my receipt, "All Sales Are Final".I hate to do business with any place that has a policy of no returns, under any circumstances.

i've seen better. i get tired of the ppl asking me, you have to be 18, lets see your id? its really, annoying. im guessing a bunch of local kiddies keep trying to be COOL and hit up this place. its juss sad and just bad for business.

Great selection and friendly people.   I had some time after a meeting and decided to visit versus hitting the freeways.   Large selection of glasswares and good selection of cigars.  The woman at the store (who may have been the owner) was polite and helpful.  So I recommend this place.

I've had nothing but positive experiences and great service when I've come here.I've purchased 3 glass pieces from them - my boyfriend loved the one I bought for him and I am still in love with the ones I bought for myself. They have a wide range of options - plastic, glass pieces of varying thicknesses, colors and styles, little disposable things...I mean the whole back room is full of decent stuff (and some adult products...haha) but the main store has COUNTERS full of products. I have a hard time believing anyone who would come here and NOT be able to find something suitable.They also have lots of bags, cleaning products, screens, supplies...also incense, hookahs, vaporizers...seriously, I can't even describe all the stuff they have. Sometimes I go in if I'm nearby just to LOOK at all the cool stuff they have. For cleaning I definitely recommend buying Agent Orange - doesn't smell horrible and does a great job. The service is great - the owner is very sweet and everyone who works there is super chill and will give you recommendations and help you find what you need. Last time I was there buying a new glass piece, I was telling the owner how much I love the store and about my satisfaction with previous purchases; she ended up giving me a big discount and a free bag (and those bags can be kinda expensive).They may be a little pricey, but like I said, they have a LOT of stuff in varying price ranges and I'm sure you could work things out with the awesome people who work there. I also like the store tries to reward its customers - they do a lot of raffles and special discounts. My friends and I happened to purchase from the store around the same time and ended up ALL winning merchandise from the raffle. The same friends also went here to get a piece fixed and were very happy with the final result.A great smoke shop with a wide selection and awesome service. I definitely recommend it.You can park directly next to the store (30 minute parking) or all around the little residential streets - parking has never been an issue.I've had nothing but positive experiences and great service when I've come here.I've purchased 3 glass pieces from them - my boyfriend loved the one I bought for him and I am still in love with the ones I bought for myself.

REALLY helpful and friendly staff.  I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted but Linda (the owner) took the time to help me out.  They have a guy who does amazing glass work for them and it is all top of the line stuff.  They appear to have a lot of happy repeat customers; the staff knew many of the people that came in by name.  Venice is skeazy, please support local business in Culver City.

I am now convinced that one could shoot heroin with more ease in public than smoking tobacco. Does anyone actually smoke cigs anymore?Well, some enjoy other varieties of the smokable, uh, materials. Talk to Woody and you'll get a lecture on vaporizers. And they're pretty damn cool. Takes the poisons out. Gives your lungs a break.Not that I do that or anything. I'm a good midwestern girl.

I came in here for a vaporizer and had a great time talking shop with the friendly chica who worked there. When I bought something and was on my way out she gave me some free stuff. It was very clean, open, and friendly. Great prices, and truly beautiful glassware in the back.

we checked this place out last night after sushi at Sushi Karen. i'd say it's Stoner Heaven. they have every type of pipe (glass or wood?), bong aka 'water pipe', rolling papers, lighters, incense, incense holders + ashtrays decorated with the image of Bob Marley, a fairy, mushrooms or Lord of The Rings theme. there is also a 'special room' in the back with cases and cases filled with handmade 'water pipes' and 'adult items'. the lady who helped me seemed like she had sampled the wares. very friendly + helpful, but a little space-y.great place to stock up on 'supplies' ;)

I mean, I hate looking a gift horse in the mouth, but.......this headshop is so generic it fuckin' hurts.No character.Poorly blown glass.Tourist quality gear.I braked hard this evening and took a hard right off of Washington, getting an impetuous instinct to be stupid.Walked into Nirvana and suspended vomit when 3 Mexican teenagers were in the process of spending WAY too much on a plastic hookah (ewwww).Oh.  My turn.  Hallelujah."Yeah honey.  Case of cartridges, cracker and tres balloons.  And a bullet.  Thanks""Hi!  I'm unknowledgeable and poorly trained at what at I'm, like, doing"  (paraphrasing I guess).  "What's a bullet?"*I mean FUCK!  The reason the drug paraphernalia has non-descriptive ID is so that I don't blow shit up*But damned if I cared.  The spot was a total ghost town save for the 3 latinos."Yeah.  I want a threaded pipe that helps me blow.......pixie sticks."BIG SMILE!Whatever.  I was out for about 45 bucks.  The cracker wasn't entirely compatible with the cartridges and my thumb was numb for 34 minutes, or thereabouts, from a misfire.I'm going back tomorrow with the hopes of a partial refund.  Wonder if I could take a head shop to small claims for purveying chintzy merchandise?Then again.  Maybe I'm just a stuck up rich boy from Vermont who puffed tough with the best glassblowers in the biz in the C-woods during third period Biology...I mean, I hate looking a gift horse in the mouth, but.......this headshop is so generic it fuckin' hurts.No character.Poorly blown glass.Tourist quality gear.I braked hard this evening and took a hard right off of Washington, getting an impetuous instinct to be stupid.Walked into Nirvana and suspended vomit when 3 Mexican teenagers were in the process of spending WAY too much on a plastic hookah (ewwww).Oh.  My turn.  Hallelujah."Yeah honey.  Case of cartridges, cracker and tres balloons.  And a bullet.  Thanks""Hi!  I'm unknowledgeable and poorly trained at what at I'm, like, doing"  (paraphrasing I guess).  "What's a bullet?"*I mean FUCK!  The reason the drug paraphernalia has non-descriptive ID is so that I don't blow shit up*But damned if I cared.  The spot was a total ghost town save for the 3 latinos."Yeah.  I want a threaded pipe that helps me blow.......pixie sticks."BIG SMILE!Whatever.  I was out for about 45 bucks.  The cracker wasn't entirely compatible with the cartridges and my thumb was numb for 34 minutes, or thereabouts, from a misfire.I'm going back tomorrow with the hopes of a partial refund.  Wonder if I could take a head shop to small claims for purveying chintzy merchandise?Then again.  Maybe I'm just a stuck up rich boy from Vermont who puffed tough with the best glassblowers in the biz in the C-woods during third period Biology...
