“I asked for Marlboro 27’s and I got 72’s without any explanation. Was just slid the pack after I paid and didn’t realize until after I drove a mile away.”

“Best vape/smoke shop in the area. Great selection of anything you might need, the workers are very friendly and helpful, the store is always clean and organized, and everything is priced fairly. Really convenient hours as well, Being open 7:00 am until midnight 7 days a week is crazy.
It's cool that they have a glass blowing studio, always cool to see what they are working on.”
“They are always friendly and open when their hours say. Other places close early a lot of times, not these guys. Great selection. They didnt carry something i was shopping for, and after talking with them, about a week later, they started carrying the item for me! Thank you!”
“This smoke shop is hands down one of the best in the area. The selection is amazing, everything from high-quality glass pieces to vapes, rolling papers, hookahs, and more. The staff is super knowledgeable and always friendly, ready to help.”
“Best liquor store around! They have a variety of drinks and there is always a crowd in the lounge chilling out like a normal bar! The owner is great and is running an awesome store!”
“The guys are the nicest, TJ is the best, and I went to highschool with Carlo and he's the nicest too. They have good prices for being an independent shop with one location, and they'll always give you great service and have their point system you can redeem for free stuff. Been going here for like 7 years, these guys are great”

“I would and already have recommended this store to my family and a friend. I went in with the intention of purchasing disposable vape(s) as I'm in the process of quitting smoking and surprised at some of them are decent quality. I brought in a vaporizer that I haven't used in a long time. I'm mentioning this since I couldnt get it to work and had requested assistance at another store a while ago. Rather than attempt to help me, they ended up selling me alternate items. Today, Ali at Advance took the time to get mine in optimum shape. Even after replacing coil, etc....it still wasn't working. Ultimately, 20-30 minutes later, it was working properly. Besides not selling me items I didn't need and taking the time to solve my dilemma...he didn't make me feel foolish for not knowing how to fix or operate. Further, he didn't take advantage by selling me a replacement that was practically the same. While I was there, I noticed a variety of other items they offer....In addition to many brands, flavors, etc of vape products like candles, CBD, apparel. The prices also seemed competetive and best guess is that he would offer some deals if you purchase multiple items. So, even if you have a 'regular' place you shop and get 'smokin' deals',lol, I think it's worth checking it out and giving Ali the opportunity to earn your patronage. Bonus, the store is conveniently located in the strip mall shared with Wal Mart in Lake Zurich. ???”
“Awesome place to buy a cigar. Jack was very helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to enjoy a nice cigar he recommended and had an amazing talk with him. I will definitely come back every time I'm in town.”
“This really is the best smoke shop in the nw suburbs & beyond IMO. I’m the type that loves to pop in to a smoke shop and check it out, no matter where I am or what my needs are. What makes this shop a standout is how thoughtfully picked their inventory is and how nice the people are. Everything is priced fairly. Things are sorted properly and easy to find. Plenty of options for people on a budget. They carry CBD for pets! Mushroom selection. The owner(?) Eric is mad cool. Shoutout to Iday (not sure of spelling, sorry!) who is always cool to talk to and very knowledgeable of the products they carry and is super patient if you need to ask questions. I stopped in today to talk about switching to a reusable component from disposables and didn’t at all feel pressured or weird about taking the time to make an informed decision for what I wanted. I got exactly what I came in for and then some.
I don’t know how else to phrase it — this shop, and its vibe, just does the right thing. From the variety of product, to the shopping experience.. everything you need you’ll find here. You’ll meet people in line that love this place as much as you do.
That has to be a testament to being properly managed by good people and doing good business all around for the customers. They’ll make you feel like family from the jump. Huge respect for this spot.”

“You've found the best vape shop in this area. Stop scrolling and set your GPS to Vapetricity. Tons of juice, mods, tanks, pods and whatever you're looking for. Staff is amazingly helpful and kind.
This is the only 6 Star vape shop in the area.”
“Very, very friendly people that work there know what they’re talking about when I need help. I am prices are really good. I have no complaints. I appreciate them being close to home. Can I use a wheelchair and in the summertime? I can ride up there in my chair, so thank you guys. I used to go to the one that was in Huntley, but I moved now to Crystal Lake so I go to this one now.”
“Since the outlawing of vapes in Wisconsin, it sent me searching for a new vape shop. Wise Guys Vapes is awesome. The employees are always very friendly and helpful. They have a really good selection of products. I would recommend everyone to try them.
The only drawback is I found a particular E juice I like and since the first time, it is never in stock. If they have an E juice that is very popular, order more of it or offer to hold one and call a customer when they have one. That has never happened and it would be great customer service.”

“The owner is very friendly and knows the business. He has great products and has great customer service. I highly recommend everyone check this place out especially in a cold winter day! It'll help.”
“I’ve been a frequent customer here for quite awhile now and just realized I’d never left a review. First and foremost KP and his staff are fantastic! KP is great at managing his inventory and always makes a point to let me know when he’s running low or restocking my preferred brand. When it comes to price he is more than fair and offers deals when appropriate. His also makes recommendations and is always looking for new products his customers might find interesting. Moreover, when he isn’t on the premises the staff he has the in store and s very friendly and upholds the standards he’s set for his business. As others have stated they do have a surcharge for using credit cards but it’s posted at the register and offset by his very competitive low pricing. Absolutely 5/5 rating - would recommend to anyone looking for a preferred shop in the area.”

“Arina was absolutely helpful. She is friendly and knowledgeable on her inventory and products. They have the best price in ALL of Crystal Lake! Come check them out if you have not already.”
“Great selection for a liquor and smoke shop in Fox Lake. It also has pretty affordable prices. Puff N' Sip has what you need for a good time. Bigger place than it appears. There's a whole lot to choose from whether you're puffing or sipping. Better prices than most places around here. It's advertised as being close to the lake, which it is. There's a small parking lot here, kind of annoying to get in and out. Anyway, the actual prices and selection make this worth looking into. There's bottles of liquors about $11 or so. Ok prices to be honest. There's also pretty cheap prices on tobacco and smoking kinds of things. Has useful items for pretty cheap. It's one of the few good liquor stores around here. They have stuff for you to drink, smoke, and whatever.”
“For the first time I received a geek bar that didn’t work at all. Tried charging it and all that and it wouldn’t even turn on. I went back right away and showed ramstien the issue and he gave me a brand new one no problem. Great service!”
“AFFORDABLE PRICES. HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE. GREAT SELECTION OF QUALITY PRODUCTS. PATIENT WITH QUESTIONS. I won't shop for my vape needs anywhere else. THE BEST AROUND. Thank you guys! ?”
