Listen. I fucking love you guys! You are my go-​to vape shop in LA. But I have a few issues. Firstly, you need more morning hours. You open at 12pm. Great for the hipster party mentality but not good for real young professionals who have to show up to work at reasonable times. You know, like people who have actual jobs! There has been numerous times where I had to go to another shop just because of your, frankly, silly hours. Secondly, carry more products with max VG. There has been endless health research proving the health problems associated with vaping PG. PG is a chemical found in things like cleaning products. It is simply not safe for human consumption. Whereas, VG is a natural product that has been a main ingredient found in high quality face washes and soap for decades. I honestly feel that if you were not in a neighborhood with highly mixed educational backgrounds, you would not be succeeding in the slightest. Move your shop to a more business minded neighborhood where your customers have things like «a job» to deal with and things will go south very quickly…

If you’re shopping for vaporizers or e-​liquid in LA and go anywhere else but Vape Goat, you’re stupid. The staff is super helpful and patient, especially to someone as vape-​challenged as I am (what the hell is a cartomizer?) I smoked cigarettes for over a decade and then Vape Goat came into my life. They have good deals and reasonable prices. I brought in my haunted vaporizer in the store today to have them take a look at it, and they switched it for an even cooler vape mod in blood red, with a tribal wolf inscribed on the side, because they’re badass and so am I.

My favorite vape shop in LA. Background: I’ve been vaping for about 5 years and as far as vape hardware, I value functionality, reliability, and quality over exotic mods. High quality liquids are a priority — marked up prices on cheap base ingredients are a no go. I keep it simple and buy the best I can within my price range.
I moved from the Eastside to KTown, and after a few months of checking out shops in my new neighborhood, I decided to trek back to Highland Park and stick with Vapegoat long term. Even though I keep a tight schedule, in the end quality is more important than convenience for me.
Really well informed, mature, mellow staff. No pushy upsale tactics — they respect their customers. They always stock quality liquids, hardware, and mods. You can get a super fancy set up if you want, but you can also get a reliable, solid, complete set up for a little over $ 100.
Their hardware and liquid selection is well curated (read: select brands, not walls of random liquids) and I’ve had a couple years of enjoyable, consistent, positive experiences with them. I always look forward to dropping by.
Tips:
True North is my favorite liquid line. Sophisticated, clean flavors and quality base ingredients.
Feel free to geek out with the staff and ask questions — I’ve always gotten honest, helpful info and they go out of their way to educate curious customers.

Awesome place. Cool artwork, decent juice selection… But most importantly, employees that care enough to explain the products and will give their honest opinions whether it makes or breaks a sale. I respect that, and will continue to give them my business.

A warning about their policy. All sales are final. I’ve been in there a few times and their customer service is ok at best. From what others have said, I think it really depends who is working. Bought a battery a month ago and the charger stopped working. Took it in today and he wouldn’t exchange the part, which btw probably costs them less than a dollar. Asks me if I wanted to buy another one. I was courteous and said I think I’ll get a new one somewhere else.

Love the place take a trip down and you will know why. Simple as that I can not explain. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is hip and super accommodating. These people know their shit. I never vaped before, but they really made me comfortable and were so knowledgeable about the product!
They do art shows here, too!
If you’re new to vaping or a complete veteran, you should come here. You will not be disappointed!

After recently reading an interview with NBA superstar Kevin Durant in GQ magazine, I became inspired by his seemingly new found penchant for being a complete a$$hole. It could very well be that this part of his personality was simply in hibernation prior to this season, only to be awoken in full force by the sports media’s often times dizzying array of mindless and repetitive questions. This has undoubtedly alienated a number of his fans but I happen to find it quite refreshing. I’ve lived my entire life as a relatively friendly/​low key, non assuming guy and I’ve always wanted to delve, if only for a very short time, into the wretched world of douchebags and dickheads so I decided to give it a shot. I realized that it would take time (and maybe some spray tan and a couple fist fights?) but with enough practice, I was confident that I could reach the highest levels of douchebaggery.
I happened to be in the Highland Park area and decided to give my new attitude a test drive. Poor Vapegoat. They would be the first to experience my not-​so-​random act of dickheadedness. But hey, I was in need of e-​juice and from the outside, it appeared that this place would be able to meet my needs. As soon as I opened the door, one of their idiot workers had the audacity to greet and acknowledge me right away. I had no choice but to look around and channel my inner Travis Bickle, «You talking to me… you talking to me?» He seemed a bit confused and I pretty much ignored him after that even though the poor bastard asked me if there was anything I needed help with. As much as it pained me to have to interact with this loser, I didn’t have much choice otherwise I’d leave empty handed. As a compromise, I would just point at their very impressive collection of top notch brands of juice & make grunting noises, mixed in with a couple of head shakes until he got to a flavor I wanted to sample. As I sampled a few more flavors, I surveyed the place a little further and couldn’t help but notice all of the artwork hanging on the walls. «So what the fvck is going on here, exactly?» I asked. Apparently the imbeciles who run this place thought it was a great idea to support local artists and adorn their walls with incredible artwork. I rolled my eyes so thoroughly that I’m fairly certain I caught a glimpse of my brain at one point.
Some other jackass was also working behind the counter but he was helping another customer. Admittedly I’m a bit of a vaping newbie so the conversation that was taking place between them was entirely foreign to me. All this mechanical talk about coils, atomizers, etc. was way beyond me. The amount of detail that was spewing back and forth from their dumb faces made me feel like I was trapped in some sort of third year engineering lecture. Who the fvck would want to know so much about vaping equipment? Was I stuck in the vaping equivalent to comic con? An annoying amount of knowledge of the products but I guess that’s why they hired that nerdy, tragic troll.
I finally decided to purchase three flavors and what happens? It starts raining buckets. I parked a bit far and I wasn’t about to consider walking out there in this weather especially given how quickly the LA streets can flood. I knew I’d be there for a while so I decided to make myself comfortable. Lucky for me, there were these really comfortable sofas toward the back of the shop so I proceeded to take off my shoes and lie down. For some reason this elicited some scowls from both employees and other customers alike. Why else would you put couches in here? For customers right? Well I’m a paying customer dammit! I gave everyone the double bird and rolled over on to my side. There was now a convergence of the comforting sounds of raindrops from outside interspersed with the lightly pulsating hip hop beats inside. Add to this the opulence of sweet fragrances wafting throughout the shop and I was engulfed with the perfect amalgamation of soothing elements that was just too much for me to withstand… I was out like a light. I could get used to this place. Ahhh.

Great spot in a neighborhood lacking in quality vape shops. Everyone I have delt with here has been chill, and more than willing to explain and teach me more about everything there is to know about vaping. Very welcoming environment, and I felt comfortable hanging on the couches vaping even after I had made my purchase.
Ask for Butch — he knows his stuff, and he can hook you up if you are just getting into vaping, or if you are an expert looking for advice on mods.

Had a rad experience here tonight. I came in to grab a bottle of juice and had an awsome time and recived some of the best service I have had at a vape shop. This will now be my go to spot.

To be fair, I’m not much of a smoker, and therefore haven’t really surfed the vapor tsunami yet, but my wife wanted a device, so I ducked into this place on a weekend, to see what I might want to walk away with. This store is obviously riding the vapor tsunami quite comfortably, as they have need for only two glass cases of product to stay afloat on one of the fastest growing strips of North East Los Angeles. Good for them. Who doesn’t wanna surf a massive wave and come out smiling?! So I picked the «blue Evod650 battery and tank» for $ 25 plus case and USB charger, to begin with, though I predicted correctly that it would take my wife an undetermined period of time before she gets herself the cartridges with which to fill the device. The dry leaves burning devices are like quadruple the price though, and I like baby steps. Vapegoats emblem is right on point though. I must’ve biked by the place hundreds of times, and always turn my head to look at that weird Donny Darko looking skull. Maybe I’ll add a star. Maybe it matters.

Five stars for their customer service! I’ve been coming here about the time they first opened. Pretty awesome crew here, the chilliest people I’ve met. They know their stuff and they will take care of you. I’ve brought my dad here to get him to quit smoking and Reese did a helpful job explaining my dad how to get started. Cool thing is they’re also an art gallery, stop by during art walk, definitely nothing but good vibes here!

I visited this shop for the first time on a NELA artwalk night and was more than pleased with both the customer service and the ambiance of the place. The shop had eclectic art work on the walls and a cool NYC loft vibe. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t vape, but my husband (an ex-​smoker) wanted to get into it and left with a really cool starter kit. The owner and employees were super attentive as he spent over 2 hours trying to decide what flavor juice he wanted! He enjoyed trying the free samples and both of us had a good time just hanging out at this cool establishment.

Came by looking for something they didn’t have. Dude working the counter was friendly and attentive – said he would hit me up with a price quote. It took a week, but true to his word, he dropped me a line w/​a price. Now that there is customer service!

I went in for some coils and the guy there (pretty sure was the owner) wasn’t friendly at all. I walked in and I was the only one in the store and he didn’t greet me or anything, pretty much just ignored me til I got to the counter. I got what I needed and left. They’re more expensive than my regular vape shop and don’t seem to carry much of a selection of juices or equipment. I was hoping to come here for all my vaping needs bc it’s so close but no thanks, I’ll go where I’m not treated like a nuisance.

Excellent service. Helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Usually stop by with my gf or bf to pick up misc items (bf works here part time as well) but last time stopped by to pick up a complete girly pink kit for my gf for Christmas.
The kit came complete with everything you need to get your «hookah (as my friend calls it lol)» on. She loved it! Thanks!

Vapegoat is this awesome hybrid vapeshop/​art gallery. The building is kinda sorta on the corner of Ave 51 and York (well there’s another building on the corner but I don’t think it counts. Why? I just don’t). For place that is only street parking, there was plenty on the Wednesday afternoon when I went. I easily found parking and walked over to the shop. It’s very spacious in there, with lots of nifty places to sit. They had a decent selection of ejuices and different hardware ranging from beginner to advanced, high end mods. I look forward to going during one of the art walks.

Great shop!
Friendly staff!
Reasonably priced.
I walked out with a new vape thingy. I love it. It’s purple with a clear oil thingy on top. I also bought the «Big Stick» oil. To die for! Guess what? It taste exactly like a Big Stick too. Pineapple and Cherry together equals yummines. I will be back to buy my mom a vape thingy too.

When it comes to vape shops, this one is the best. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly.
Juice flavors: They have a wide selection to choose from.
Hardware: They have a little something for everyone from the beginner to the pros.
If you want a good place to get your vaping hardware. Or if you’re looking for a great vapor lounge I highly recommend this place.

Super friendly staff and dope art on display. I got a great deal on a telescopic mod I have wanted for a while. Love their selection on juices… black label Belgian breakfast is one of my favorite flavors. Great place to make it easy to kick the habit !!!
