“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!”
“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.”
“I love this place!! I live close by, so it's convenient, but the owner and others working there are so friendly and inviting that it feels like a second home!! They truly care about their customers and it shows!! I've even asked for special items, and he'll go out of his way to make it happen.... THAT'S GREAT SERVICE!!!! ? ? ? ? 10/10”

“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.”
“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! ?”
“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.”
“Love this shop. The guy there is awesome and very friendly to chat with and gives his honest opinion on items.. went today and bought a pen and he was awesome as always ! Even though I’m 40 mins away, I always come here . Worth the prices too!”
“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.”

“Have always had a good experience at this place great prices very friendly staff and the new girl is super cute and friendly and hot maybe she will Read this I give her a,10 just for looks and she gets a 8 for work efforts and friendlynees she does a good job”
“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!”
“I absolutely love the drinks! I feel like I can accomplish what I am needing to do for the day. As for Ashlyn. She is wonderful and so knowledgeable about the products.”
