Smoke Scene

It’s wonderful to be working for smoke scene, great store. No place is better than it’s :)

Here’s a good place to stop in for some juices or hardware. They’re well stocked and knowledgeable. And they usually aren’t too busy so you can get helped quickly. I bought an ego one there and it was defective so I came back the next day. The guy remembered me and gave me a new piece no problem.

Wow! I don’t know where to start. How ever this is one of the best smoke shops I have ever seen. They have the biggest vape selection I have ever seen. More then 50 brand e juice. They also have a very helpful workers who who what they doing.

Will do if you are in a pinch for ejuice and vape stuff like spacejam since they are almost open all the time. Not the ideal place to buy hardware from, you’d get it for a lot less elsewhere.

Sucks. No good collection. Barely any types of Hookah Tobacco/​accessories needed, plus whatever I found there was at least twice as expensive as at other places. But in all honesty they did carry a product I’m familiar with but have never ever seen outside certain countries, the variety they carried was a cheap Chinese knock-​off that was set as a kit and wrapped in the hard plastic-​y foil. One sales guy who was assisting me at first seems to have a habit of suddenly disappearing after he hands me a product and I check it out.
All in all not a fan.

I am sure this is a great shop for cigars and lighters but if you are looking for vape supplies don’t waste your time here. I am traveling frim florida and stopped in looking for an atomizer. They had no idea what I was saying. Would have bought a second kit but they had a very limited stock. They were not very knowledgeable about vaping.

Never Again…
On my intial visit (the day before), I was given one price and when I came back (the next day) another price, $ 20.00 more. Considering that I had price researched, in the villiage and UWS, and done all of this traveling to make an informed decision-​the bait and switch was beyond annoying.
Finally, I decided to just purchase a product, it didnt make sense to spend the time, energy and additional money to go back to the village. Finally, I purchased an overpriced (ego clone) at 10 dollars more than it’s average price-​only to be told that I would be «taxed» for using my credit card. When I asked for an explanation, I was told my credit issuer charges a «tax» for it’s use-​which was untrue. My credit card issuer charges the proprietor (all proprietors) that chooses to offer «payment via credit card» as a convenience to the customer, a fee-​but more an opportunity to gain sales they would never get without the ability to accept credit cards. He was full of «crapola»
I knew this, but once I figured in the time… travel…cost of said travel-​it was, and still is, negligible…
BTW everything in there was overpriced-​from hookahs to snapple, and the staff knew nothing! They tried to sell me e-​liquid with 16mg nicotine, when I told them I am not a smoker.
They even reassured me, the e-​liquid was 0.0 mg until I pointed out the big 16mg printed on the label. Maybe they did know… pawns of the nicotine industry-​lol Anything for a sale!
After completing payment, i couldn’t help but to call him out. When I did, the guy started stuttering and blaming «scam artists» of NYC for the «tax». Shaking his head for drama.
He is right about scam artistry in the city, and he is so right about his store being a consistent scene of it…
I say, take your money to a place that respects you enough and makes enough of a profit to to pay their own fees or better yet ‘has the brains” to understand the contracts they sign with credit company and the balls to explain their policy before sliding you s receipt that says «no returns”-though this policy IS voided by their contract relationship with credit issuers… LOL. I paid by credit card, I can always return…

I am usually not one to review very low, but after reading the reviews on this place I thought I was sure to give this place a higher rating.
I really don’t know where to start, but I thought the workers there would have a better knowledge of what hookah products they carried. The reason why I say that is because I purposely called a week in advance to see if they carried the list of products I was looking for. I was told that they did, but it was the complete opposite when I actually got to the store. When I was going over the list I made, they seemed a little confused and unsure of what I was looking for. They pretty much pointed me to the section where they had the stuff and left me to look for myself.
And on top of that I felt I was over charged for some of the items I purchased only to find out when I got home that some of the items where defective. End of story I will not go back to this place to buy anything for my hookah needs.

Smoke Scene, I wish you existed on the east side. However, I still have no qualms about trekking over to explore you! This is no ordinary tobacco store. Their selection of rolling papers is quite extraordinary compared to most others above 14^th street. They are very reasonably priced, even cheaper than st. Marks! Geez, I am nostalgic thinking about the first time I got Elements rolls there for $ 2.50. Since then the price has risen a little over a dollar (thank you government) beyond that.
If you are on a quest to find a nice piece in the bong category, this may not be the best spot for that if you want some kind of rare but awesome brand. not to say they don’t have quite an array, I myself once owned an incredible little monster of a piece from here, but I am not picky when it comes to brand names and size.
They have some vapes, a cabinet full of carved wooden old European dude pipes, piece cleaning materials, hookahs ranging from very large to very small, cigarettes & rolling tools, zippos and lighters galore, two giant cabinets of cigars, ash trays, and little one-​hitters/​bowls/​bubblers. There’s plenty of other intriguing odds and ends as well.
One of th best parts (for me anyways) is the cat that chills in there! She is a friendly one indeed and is always in a content sort of mood! Obviously this place is incredible beyond even my recognition if the cat loves it so much… so yeah, you must go!

May have been the best prices I’ve seen in the whole city. They were also very helpful.

This is one of the better tobacco shops I’ve been to in Manhattan. I keep returning because these guys sell everything at an honest price. If you go down to Shisha International in the Village, there’s roughly a 100% chance that you’re gonna get ripped off. At Smoke Scene, you’ll be astonished sometimes at how fair some of the prices are. They also have a good selection of everything from hookahs, to cigars, to paraphernalia, to bongs, to bowls, and beyond. Everything you’ll need for any kinda smoking adventure will be here and you won’t feel like a cheated douche when you walk out.
