Vape New York

I know they say that the store closed but i just came across a comment of the gangsta vaping owner directed to me on one of my other reviews about another business. Lol

As my profile suggests, I am often called upon to travel on very short notice. Having tried e-​ciggs on and off since 2009 and fully stopping analogs in 2012, I never want to be without spare batteries, clearo/​cartomizers, or juice. I found this place by accident the day before a trip when I was completely out of supplies, and part of a vibrant NYC vaping community in addition to just a store.
Phil was a great help when I called ahead, offering to set aside the parts and liquids I needed before driving over. Once I arrived, he displayed the various juices on offer, and I found one of my new favourites. The coffee taste is excellent, and they also have a good range of nicotine options to choose from. Phil also provided excellent guidance for starter kits when I got two friends to join me in dropping analogs, suggesting not just product but also clearomizers which would be easier to maintain for a beginner.
Finally, VapeNY’s participation in the community matters, especially now that there seem to be legislative efforts underway to marginalize or even ban electronic cigarettes. By participation with VapeFest as well as grassroots organization of calls to action when there are hearings or potential ordinances they are working to keep vaping a real option for those who want to quit smoking.

Knowledgeable and professional service even when they’re slammed! It’s a small space, but they have everything from starter kits to advanced mods and a plethora of liquids (though I haven’t found one that I love yet). Spike is very helpful and nice and it’s a great atmosphere.
Their prices are very reasonable for a b&m (brick and mortar) store, so I’m happy to support them so there is a presence in NYC! They are have meetups during the month where people can trade tips and equip/​juices etc.

What a horrible experience! This was my 2^nd visit to a vaping supplies shop and this sent me running back to the first place!
First: try to find it. Its hidden deep in the bowels of a crappy make shift ‘mall’. Not to mention its just scary to go there, this mall is not only a ghost town, but the few that do wander around look like low-​lifes. Vape NY shares a booth with another business, no signs, gps couldnt find the address etc
Second: its filthy. Stuff everywhere, I have to say most of the junk floating around might not be theirs, it might belong to the other people they share the booth with, regardless its there, everywhere. Their side of the booth is sloppy and unorganized as well, and the 2 dudes behind the counter look like they just rolled out of bed.
Third: Crappy service. I took my friend there (shouldve took him to the first place I visited, not sure its ok to mention them here) were both new to vaping, and so had lots of questions, the kid that helped us seemed half asleep, and not excited about helping us at all. When my friend asked for help with the tank hes BUYING, filling, instructions on cleaning etc (we did say we were new right?) the kid acted like we were annoying him. The older guy that was there was buried in his tablet and barely looked up at us. (I’ll get back to him in a sec)
Fourth: HIGH PRICED. The tank my friend bought here for $ 30, we later saw at the other spot ive mentioned, for $ 16. Nuff said.
Back to Ipad guy; well that tank my friend bought, for double the price elsewhere, BROKE just a couple hours later! Let me be clear, my friend didnt break it, the tank fell apart in his hands, I was there. Sooo, next day he goes back, IPad guy is there this time, and REFUSES to refund my friends purchase, and would only offer store credit, which forced my buddy to put down ADDITIONAL cash, and take this $ 30 highly over priced tank.
Well never go back there, and it just makes me appreciate this other spot SO much more.

Went to Vape NY today for the first time and it was an awesome experience! The guys there were incredibly helpful and super knowledgeable! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Owner or manager did not care for me being there, like I was an unwanted pest or I was bothering him. Even though I was polite and was asking him questions because I just started vaping. I will be looking for a new place to buy my ecig products. I will give 1 star to the very helpful young associate who was helping me with my purchase though. BTW, prices are much more expensive for their eGo batteries than you would find online

The selections are good and the people seem knowledgeable and nice. (Thus 3 stars) But the liquid smells badly, both flavored and straight «tobacco». I tried liquids from 5 suppliers, mostly online, but this one, which I actually bought in the store, seems to be the worst;(.

Yep, VapeNY is the best for experienced and beginners alike. All of the Staff are knowledgeable in both the Queens and Manhattan stores –especially Liz! Liz works so hard and you can see how much she loves getting people set up to vape and quit analogs. They take their time and make sure your happy before you purchase. Honest and nice place to do business. P. S. — the cutie tank is the best, I really like the function and maintenance.

I had just staring vaping only a week when I went searching for a store. So I decided to pay VapeNY a visit because of it’s reviews and I can tell you that I was so happy when I left. The guys in the store (sorry really bad with names) were so helpful. They took their time to teach me and let me sample flavors. I wish I lived closer, I would stop by more often and shop. Maybe I’ll just go for a drive :) …

If you’re going to smoke e-​cigarettes, you’ve got to pay these guys a visit. They are so knowledgeable and friendly. Their products are great and they’re very honest. They will take the time to show you exactly how everything works, and if you ever have a problem, they’re happy to accommodate you even if it means replacing your malfunctioning item. Really great business!

This is my first Unilocal review– I feel especially compelled to write about VapeNY because it is such a fantastic place.
I heard about VapeNY on the internet; tired of analogs and crappy e-​cigs, educated on Reddit, I headed to Jamaica Ave to see what all the hype was about. Tucked into a corner of a strip-​mall is VapeNY, and I can’t imagine a better experience with them. I brought my parents in to meet the proprietor, and skeptical as they are, the owner was able to answer all of their questions and concerns in a knowledgeable and professional manner. Clearly, VapeNY is a labor of love; these people are honestly trying to improve the lives of their customers (as evidenced by the repeat customers who came in during my visit, with nothing but praise for VapeNY and their top-​quality e-​cigs). I have had some experience with e-​cigs ranging from the crap you find at gas stations to eGo-​T batteries, and wanted something a little more permanent.
The owner was happy to spend time on the sale, and addressed my questions carefully. You get the feeling that they really care about their customers, and they are not just trying to make sales. In addition, the customer service is great with a wide selection of juices and nic levels to try. Selection of vapes is outstanding. Prices are exactly what you’d find on the website, but I’d highly suggest coming in to see what VapeNY is all about.

Its an unusual location in an even weirder looking mini mall but the owner Spike is cool. She is patient and she uses what she sells so she really knows her stuff. The discounts are great as are the prices. The location is off the beaten path but so worth the trip as the knowledge u get here goes a long way. Go ahead and order online if u want but i suggest paying Spike a visit. This place understands smokers and vapers so dont be shy and tell them what you are thinking.

No more mail order for me! This place is excellent and Spike (its proprietor) is a fountain of knowledge. Great juice flavors– you can try em all before you buy.

I am soo HAPPY that my husband was introduced to VAPENY. He was a 2 pack a day person of Parliament. He came home with this kit and his juices. I tried it… and was hoocked! I LOVE IT! My husband sent me to the store and bought me my own set up! I am a menthol smoker so Spike made me my juices fit to my liking. You get to try all the juices which is Great!
The Customer Service here from Spike is NOTHING BUT PERFECT! I called car the night before and was going to take my kit to Forest Hills for me to pick up! That is how accomidating she is!
I purchased a kit and I texted her and she got back to me immediately when I told her my problem. She was right on it! She Actually sent out a whole new battery and cartridge (that holds the juice) Spike mailed it out Priority and I got it a day later!
I cannot say enough Great things about this company! They really are concered about the well being of everyone and will do anything to make sure you dont pick up another cigarette!
They are really the coolest people was fun to meet and do Everything to meet your customer satisfaction! When You meet Spike she is one of those people who feels like an old friend!
Thanks Spike & VapeNY for Transforming my husband’s cigarette habit! He No Longer has a habit!
And Thank You for taking the time to educate me and for going above and beyond to make me happy! (I was happy when I got there, but left even happier) :0)
**Love the Raspberry Ice with Menthol Drops!

Okay, let’s be real. I only write a review on Unilocal if I really like something or if I really fucking hate it. VapeNY is awesome and the owners give a shit. I would even go as far as to say they give two shits. The owners are knowledgeable and they only stock good stuff. Anything that they don’t like or trust goes on clearance. I’m going to keep this short and sweet: VapeNY is the only electronic cigarette retailer in NYC and that’s absolutely fine with me.
protip: Their peach ice is awesome.

For my first trip out to New York, I lost an entire bag of clearomizers! Then, the one that was on my Provari stopped working! I immediately began searching for an ecig store in New York and I had no idea what to do.
VapeNY not only came to my hotel to give me advice on the proper gear to buy, but they gave me some juice to help me out while I was waiting for the gear to absorb my juice.
HIGHLY knowledgeable, VERY professional, OUT of the way customer service and above and beyond any expectation I had.
I was without my vape for an hour. It took VapeNY 30 minutes to get to me from where she was and I could not have been happier.
I hear all the time about how New Yorkers are mean. New Yorkers aren’t mean, they are just really fast. I can’t thank VapeNY enough!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If I get a chance I’m gonna go see the store tomorrow before I head home to Chicago.

VapeNY is the real deal and the owners are awesome. I was using a cigarette sized ecig for quite a while and was curious about the eGo stuff I had been recommended on reddit time and again, but wanted to see how big it was and learn how to use it in person instead of mail ordering and hoping I liked it. So I drove out to Jamaica Queens with my cousin (a smoker of 15 years). We both got two eGo batteries (I highly recommend the eGo-​T Upgrade 1000mAh, in fact i bought the 650 because it was shorter and then came back a week later and they let me swap it for the longer battery for a full credit of what I paid!).
They have a station set up to try all of their eJuices and I gotta say that their Peach Ice is my favorite, with Raspberry coming in second place. The guys are super knowledgeable and won’t sell something they don’t use themselves or believe in. They are also the same price you’ll see online and are often willing to work with you on a price a bit if you are buying a bunch of items or are just getting started.
Seems like they are scouting a location in Manhattan for a second shop and I’m thrilled because the mal they are in is like the worst mall on the planet and in the middle of nowhere, but they are the only game in town and do a great job.
Thanks VapeNY!

Just made my first visit to the Vape NY store, the owners, Spike and Boog are awesome! They had a nice selection of flavors to try and gadgets to buy. The prices are very reasonable and the owners are incredibly nice and helpful. I would recommend to anyone who vapes to give them a try, you won’t be disappointed and you might pick up some useful knowledge.

The products they have are amazing. The customer service is amazing, knowledge of ecig market is superb. Had an issue on a weekend and they replied within minutes. I dont even buy online anymore, everything that I need, they have right there. If you live in nyc and want to quit, stop by and you can even sample there products and ejuices on the spot.

What can I say? Great juice line, convenient location, knowledgeable staff and competitive pricing-​Usually you stay AWAY from the mall E– cigs-​but VapeNY is the exception–
Products are available online as well, and the owner is an advocate of the E-​Cig community! In fact, some say she STARTED the E-​Cig community–
5 Stars!
