i-Vape

Excellent service. Far better than most shops of its kind. I bought a product that broke a week later, and the store took it back and replaced it without question and with impeccable service. I was really impressed and will certainly be returning here regularly.

Im writing this review because been to this shop a few times and always left happy! I cant see why people would give such a low rating. this is my go-​to smoke shop in the east village (been to quite a few in the city)
they have a good selection of products that you would usually have to order online, which is a big plus.

A little pricey but might be the city where its at, overall i cant say much but you will get what you need :)

hey abbas,
you are an inbred puddle of piss
stop ripping people off with your counterfeit shit
this place competes with my dogs bathroom
you are making many enemies in the village and all over manhattan, so when you walk the streets i hope you constantly look over your shoulder.

Walked in and dealt with the guy named Abbas. What a douche bag! The other reviews here are right. This guy is a rip off. Shady as f*ck. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Walked into Beyond Vape and had a much better experience. I hope iVape closes down.

Abbas was incredibly helpful ! I came here two years ago and was turned off by how rude the staff was. Abbas was super helpful and when my tank broke I came back in and he replaced it for free. Honestly don’t bother with other vape stores — this place is legit.

I want everyone to understand exactly how much of a RIP OFF this place is. I walked in and dealt with he owner named Abbas. He sold me a vape pen which stopped working a day later. I came back in to get a new one and he would not do anything to help me replace it. He actually tried to sell me a new one!!! (douche move but hey were dealing with a doosh!) so i asked for a receipt and he refused to give me a receipt because his system «cant reprint receipts «. Once I mentioned that I was going to complain to the BBB and I also let him know that I knew he had an existing complaint against him he suddenly said fine i’ll give you a receipt. A couple days later I felt bad about the way things went down and called him to apologize. We hashed everything out over the phone and I thought I would give him another try. I went in a month later to buy 2 more items I was interested in. After coming home and having this weird feeling in my gut that something was off I went online and did some searching for the same item I bought and was able to find it online for $ 28.99. I thought wait a minute Abbas charged me $ 75.00 for this item that was clearly available all over the internet for $ 30 bucks! So I called Abbas and asked him if he could do anything for me? He said in a cocky rude manner that all the stuff online was fake and he sells the real deal and that he wont give me a refund or anything. I have worked in sales for 13 years and this is definitely not the way to stay in business for long. This guy is a complete ass. He gives off that dooshy vibe that hes from Brooklyn, probably sheeps head bay area and is just a sketchy dude who got lucky with a loan from his parents and opened up a business. With the way he does business he will def lose his parents money. Folks I warn you to NEVER SHOP HERE!!! Im in the process of filing a complaint with the better business bureau. Theres so many other stores on that block that sell the same things and for much cheaper. This is a lesson learned for me and I will never step back into that store again.
Thanks for being such a herb Abbas. I hope you pay your employees legally and on the books instead of cash which is what you’re probably doing. I’ll have the Labor Department make sure you’re doing the right thing, jusssst in case.

Go see Abas. Mets hat. They had great products and great advice I’m very happy with the service and what they recommended!
very nice selection.
Good times!

Josh ripped me off, he was very nice though… Sold me a $ 5 piece for $ 15 and a $ 15 piece for $ 25. I should have done my research more but thought walking in to a store to talk to a real person for my first vape would be a good idea. This was actually my second time getting a vape from here, they ripped me off the first time too but now I know much better.

Came in last minute to get a new battery. Josh helped me out and was honest and helpful. Appreciated the good customer service. Will return again.

Staff was knowledgable and helpful.

This store masquerades as an alternative to other smoke and vape stores in the region. Their main competition is Beyond Vape — a store they love to trash — saying they have better prices. In fact, during my experience with them I spent $ 100 and then was forced to spend another $ 60 as a piece was broken in two weeks which they blamed me for and then broke again in one week when I hadn’t even touched it. When I spoke to Abbass (the supervisor) he yelled at me and told me this was a business and to man up. I subsequent went to Beyond Vape where they were willing to look at my vaporizer, try to fix it for an hour and then explained if I buy from them it is not only cheaper, but they will give me a two week in-​store warranty. Basically, I put my faith into I-​Vape and they were nothing more then scum. Unfortunately… I really thought they were more then that.
Also it looks as thought many of their tanks are counterfeit or knockoffs according to both the manufacturers and other prominent stores.

I don’t normally (read never) do this to a new business, but what I experienced in the minute I stood inside i-​Vape was so beyond the pale, I feel compelled to tell everyone in the East Village to take a train or walk to Soho and hang out at the sleek, modern vapor bar/​store, Henley Vaporium.
I went in because I left my backup in my friend’s car and he’s a flake. I don’t want to buy a new battery before he mails it back to me or I go back to CA.
I was in the E Village (Veselka and Café Mocha), saw this store, and figured I could charge up. All I needed was an outlet (which I got at Café Mocha along with a glass of wine and coffee), but I like to look at new vape stores, so I went inside.
Well, it’s not a bar. It’s just a store.
One lady was buying a new tank (40 bucks, a fancy one which did look nice).
When that transaction finished, I explained my plight and asked to charge up.
This white guy with an obnoxious non-​New York and faintly Southern accent was rude from the get go. He said they don’t charge people’s things and with not a soul in the store playing that truly odious country music s***-kicker song, I was annoyed.
I said, «Really? I’ve never had that happen and I visit lots of stores.» Then he not only states the policy of the owner, but enforces it with gusto. No apology, no sheepish, «The boss is very strict about this.» Nada.
Upon reflection, what so angered me is that vapers are supposed to stick together. There is a code among vapers: it’s US vs the ANTZ (anti-​nicotine and tobacco zealots).
I used to write for the Huffington Post (as a blogger not staffer) until the mess surrounding my article about e-​cigs and the NYC City Council usage ban on 12/​19/​2013 (time flies!).
I went on a podcast in February to discuss my apparent dismissal and found myself blocked days later.
With all the stupidity, the propaganda, and the lies, solidarity among vapers is key.
This guy was a hostile jerk with no social skills. He’s also a bear of little to nonexistent brain, because when a girl in a pretty coat with a fur collar and lots of jewelry walks into your hideous, empty store (more on this in a moment), any employee with half a brain obliges her.
I am quite sure this man is single and not happy about that inevitability, but it’s not my problem/​fault he developed his personality in a car crash (line from the film adaptation of David Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago, About Last Night) and chose to do nothing about his personality problems.
I was so shocked by his rudeness that I asked how long this store had been here (and keep in mind I was Miss Smiley at the outset). He said not long. I said, «Oh, well, I’ll tell everyone I know to go to Henley in Soho.» He was sullen and hostile to the end.
So I’m delighted to be the first person on Unilocal to say this: After you’ve had a blintz or matzoh ball soup or borscht at Veselka, get thee to Spring Street and hang out at a true place of community which doesn’t look like something in a Reseda strip mall. (That’s a not very desirable part of the San Fernando Valley, though not nearly as bad as Van Nuys or Canoga Park – for New Yorkers who, if they know the Valley at all, know Calabasas from Ray Donovan/​the Kardashians, or Encino, an upscale Jewish suburb).
It’s tacky, overly bright (fluorescents) and all those garish bong-​like objects are clearly pitched to cannabis users, rather vapers proper. I can tolerate ugly décor and terrible music on a road trip through the middle of nowhere (Inyokern, somewhere between Bishop/​Mammoth and the Mojave Desert/​Death Valley), but only a blind person could have designed this store. It’s not funky or bohemian: it’s just ugly.
Yes, they sell some very high-​end stuff (not your basic EVOD Kangertech or Vision spinners). But so do a lot of other places which don’t employ a man who has no business in *any* branch of customer service.
Lest you think I’m being too harsh, look at my graphs. I am enormously generous on Unilocal.A preponderance of my reviews are 4 and 5 stars. I love helping worthy businesses and sharing cool places with Unilocalers and others who read my work.
This is the worst vapor store *ever*.
