Beyond Vape

I purchased four starter kits about 6 months ago. I take very good care of them and make sure I keep the devices, especially the connecting parts, clean and pretty much free of dirt and grime but to no avail. Each device had issues: two leaked e-​juice and all four stopped charging completely at some point.
I know these are starter kits but they should last you more than a few months with good care.
Very disappointed with the quality of the items.

Atmosphere: When you first walk in, it feels very clean, organized, and professional. It has a very chill and relaxing atmosphere. There’s more than enough seats for trying out flavors and for just chilling.
Products: They have a good range of mods and lots of e-​juice. They have more than enough vape products for both beginners and experienced users ranging from atomizer/​cartomizers to mechanical mods. Also, they have a good variety of drip tips. I personally like the Aria and Mystic Atmos drip tips, which are a bit costly, but worth it IMO. Although they do have good brands of e-​liquid like The Vial or Halo, they need more of a variety of Villain Vapor, Mr. Good Vape, and my personal favorite, the Vaping Rabbit.
Customer Service: Great customer service. One of the main guys, Z, really knows his stuff. This shop has mostly experienced and knowledgeable people, but some of the workers who work there as cashiers and vape-​tenders don’t know a thing about mechanical mods. Also, there was a girl who started a lot of drama for a false accusation, which made me really uncomfortable coming to Beyond Vape.

I was completely new to vaping and had been curious for a long time. I love hookah, and wanted something to smoke while at home.
I walked in and let them know how new I was and was greeted by a girl who told me she had only been there 3 months but seemed to really know her stuff.
She let me sit and try all the juices that I wanted and gave me recommendations and everything.
I walked out with a starter kit and 3 juices for less than 50 bucks.
I took my friend back there after dinner one night and we sat and talked to or vape-​tender and tried a ton of juices.
This place also has a small area where you can sit and relax and vape.

My friends & I all felt very welcomed by the workers, good vibes, & whatnot.
I came here after I had received my first vape as a gift a week ago to buy juices. Awkwardly the girl that was helping me knew that I knew nothing about how to use it, clean it, etc. She & her coworker decided to show me exactly what to do. They answered any questions I had even if it didn’t regard their products. The staff were all very friendly, patient, & incredibly helpful!
Anyways! In the end, I decided to treat myself to 4 juices! I absolutely love the watermelon ice!

+ Friendly and helpful staff
+ Huge selection of Juices
+ 20% happy hour weekly specials
~ Wish they had Crafted Vapor but that’s ok.
I always come here if I needed to pick up some of their great juices or to browse their mechanical mods. The staff is very knowledge so ask away! It’s honestly the only store you should go to when it comes to vaping and vaping accessories. Haha.
Recommendations:
Cran’ Chi by Halycon Vapors. It is a very sweet cranberry tasting juice. My personal favorite from this store.
Blue Granite if you’re into a very strong blueberry flavor.
It’s also next to Half&Half! After you order your drink, go next door, browse around for like 10 –15 mins, hell even pick up some juices or something from the great people at Beyond Vape or come back with your boba to do so.

Beyond Vape is now my go-​to shop for all my vaping needs. First off, they have knowledgeable people there. Secondly, fresh drinking water is free (unlike e-​cig city, which has a vending machine). The air conditioner runs cold, which is nice during the summer months. Plus, they’re ALWAYS having specials on different juices.
So far, I’ve been helped by Alexis, Elaine, and Hank, and all are quite knowledgeable, and after-​sales support is impeccable. I will definitely be returning back here in the future.
Oh, did I mention this shop is open until 11pm 7 days a week? Great if you go to CSULA like myself — finish a night class, head here before you go home!

Walked in unacknowledged and waited 10 minutes to be helped. 3 people behind the counter: 2 were helping other people and 1 guy was just sitting there cleaning stuff. I just was interested in sampling a few juices and purchasing some a couple of bottles. After 10 minutes of waiting, I just walked out. Thanks Beyond Vape.

I am a newb when it comes to vaping. I asked a couple of my friends and they recommended that I give this vape shop a try! While I didn’t get my starter here, I did want to come and support by girlfriend’s boyfriend Zee! So this past Friday I was out and waiting to get Half and Half, (the line being out the door) I went inside to check things out!
Unfortunately my friend wasn’t there but another associate name Kenny was able to help me! He was very patient with answering all my questions and showing me all the different vapes and juices! In the end I decided to get the blueberry pomegranate! I can’t wait to try it! Oh, did I mention Kenny was a cutie?! Check this place out! Whether a newbie or seasoned vaper, they should have everything you’re looking for!

Came in here the other day to have my rda serviced since it’s been a month. I’ve been here before for the same service and there was a young guy who helped me rebuild mines and he did a good job with it. This time, there was a older guy, maybe in his 40s still rocking an earring on the top of his left ear. He looks like one of those older Asian gangster guys thats has the look of «I don’t give a f*ck about you» but will serve you in a way like your a cheap ass. Anyways, he helped me rebuild my rda. Didn’t take him that long, and now I know why… It wasn’t that clean of a build. If you ask me, it was one of the worst build I’ve ever had. Normally when I get my rda rebuild elsewhere, it always burns evenly. And doesn’t look like shit.
Now, I must say the workers who work here are always very friendly and very helpful. I do like the selection of the juices and tank accessories here. But I don’t know if I would want to come here to have my rda serviced by an old A-​Z-​N gangsta man… I ain’t gonna hate that hard. 3 stars it is

So I have been here a total of 5 – 6 times, and decided to finally write a review about this place based on my overall experience.
Pros:
–A nice selection of high and low end mods for vapers at all levels.
–A good selection of juice in all nic level
–Knowledgable about all general vape questions
–A great location since it is right next to boba and food places
Cons:
–Rude and terrible customer services, I walked into the store, the workers just looked and continued talking amongst themselves. I felt very unwelcome.
–Slow service, I bought a patriot RBA and asked for it to be built, took a little over an hour because the person helping me stopped every 2 – 3 minutes to help another customer that came in after me.
–Expensive place to rebuild I ever been to, they wanted to charge me $ 14 to rebuilt my steam turbine, when most places are free or at most $ 5.
Overall, I came back after multiple bad experiences because they have a good selection of high end atomizer and mods. Generally speaking vape stores have a friendly vibe with workers that are easy to talk. I find it difficult to feel that way about this store, and will unlikely return in the future.

Ok so they tried.
I’m not big on reviews unless I think I can actually help. I tried this shop ended up purchasing $ 120worth off Vape gear, (mod, cartomizer, battery, and charger.) My issue is that I got recommended a bad set up and they weren’t knowledgeable enough to have recommended a better one, or to explain the true pros and cons. It seems like they recommended based on inventory rather than optimal use. I had to go back twice just to get the set up working properly, and it was still not right. I know they will get it right. Please support and/​yet know your own info. Wish you guys the best.
Oh And i Still haven’t gotten that receipt.

Ask for Emily! She’s the best !
Favorite juices here are Strawberry Mango and Blue Granite!
Pretty good selection of devices (best I’ve seen in the last 5 or so vape places I’ve tried in the SGV area) Good selection of Juices as well. If I’d have to pick one place to get juices for the rest of my life it’d be here!
Prices are okay, not cheap but not unreasonable either. Just wish their beyond vape juice prices could go down a bit :‘D

I came here the other day and I called first to see if what I wanted was available (a hello kitty tip) and when I called the employee who answered was very nice and even listed all the colors in stock for me. So a couple hours later I arrived.
There were two employees on a Sunday night and if was 10−11pm and if was somewhat busy but they were both helpful. My boyfriend and I only got a battery and tip but both of the men seemed knowledgable of their products and weren’t hesitant to answer any of my questions.
I tried out probably 10 different liquids but didn’t buy any because I was a little iffy about what to purchase since I’m so picky but he gave me really good liquids I had in mind of wanting. Although I live in San Diego, I would definitely be back!

In the last 3 months Vape stores have set up shop in almost every nook and cranny.
I came into beyond vape so that my boyfriend could get his vape rebuilt. I am not sure what they means but the guy did something with wires and rope. (which is $ 7)
While waiting for him to rebuild the vape, I watched many people walk in and check out the place. Because this vape store (among others) are fairly new to the area, many people who are either finished with dinner at one of the Chinese restaurants upstairs or done with the boba drinks from Half & Half, will wander into this store because its the new biggest thing.
The staff was friendly. There was only 2 workers and while 1 was rebuilding the vape the other worker was left to manage everyone else.
Ended up getting a «juice» called Frozen Lime –theres more to the name I just forgot and a rebuild. I think the total was around $ 17?
This location is fairly close to my house but so are others.
I (meaning my boyfriend and I, since I don’t own a vape) would only come back if I am in the plaza again.

Service here is awesome! The employees are really knowledgeable in their product and really try to relate to you. When I go here I feel like I’m hanging out with friends.weird.
There’s a decent selection if flavors at an okay price so it’s not too bad. Don’t forget to check in on Unilocal for 10% off!
I love the sleek loungey seats and flat screen tv.

Glad that this new vape store popped up around the corner from my
work. A nicely designed store with a simple layout and multiple flat
screen tvs on each wall. They’ve got a great selection of mods and
tips, and TONS of juices. I didn’t have time to sample everything, but
I ended up getting 6 of their house brand juices. They have a buy 2
get one free promo at $ 8 a bottle right now so it was a killer deal.
The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable able their
rebulidables. Johnson helped me drill the air holes to my liking and
then set up the dual wick/​coil on my trident perfectly. He voluntarily
explained what he was doing while working on it so I picked up some
new techniques.
I think their prices for the juices & accessories are cheaper than the
other stores I’ve visited. As for mod prices, I believe they are
similar to other places. Most other vape stores I’ve been to don’t
have restrooms but this place does and they also have a water cooler
since throats tend to get dry during vaping. I heard one of the staff
members speaking Chinese to an older customer so I already recommended
that my uncle come by. I think he’ll probably feel more comfortable
learning this stuff in Chinese and maybe even quit smoking.

Peaches n cream by Jamison on deck. Get em before it’s gone. Also best mod
Holders in the game by Aria. Get one before I buy them all hahahahah!
Btw shoutout to the super friendly and energetic manager Kiray! You were so helpful in convincing me to drop stacks!!!

I don’t like this place. The male employees have a cocky attitude with the «what do you want» vibe. In addition, they don’t let you drip test their juices (which is a big deal for those who use mechanical mods because the experience is TOTALLY different). COME ON ITS TWO DROPS! Is that really going to hurt a potential sale?
On the other hand, they do carry some decent high-​end products here once in awhile. Yeah I’m being blunt but I never had a real positive experience every time I stepped foot in here. When it comes to vape shops, I’m very concentrated on how they treat their customers but for some reason, I don’t never received a nice, positive attitude from some of the guys that work here. It just so happens that I always go around the night time during the week days. Glad a lot of other people have though.

This was my first ever experience going to a Vapor lounge. They don’t necessarily only cater to smokers. It was a fun experience coming to this place… just like an oxygen lounge where we inhale flavored oxygen. They have a so called milligram measure for the flavor depending how strong the consumer wants it. There is a zero… which contains no nicotine in it, while there is a .06 small amounts of nicotine, .12 more nicotine, etc. (I think that’s how the scale works). The scale is basically used for strength of the flavor and also helps to assist a smoker to slowly curve their intake. There is a good and a bad I think. The good is helping a person taper off on smoking, and the bad is getting a non-​smoker like me to start! Well I assume it’s all about Will Power.
Of the few flavored electronic cigarettes I’ve tried, I like the vanilla coke and the menthol flavor the best. The vanilla coke has a strong vanilla coke flavor (obviously) when inhaled. The only ingredient missing was the carbonated taste. Other than that I liked it. My other favorite was the menthol. It tasted very refreshing as you inhaled the vapor. It kind of tastes like Scope mouthwash. Very enjoyable, and hopefully it removes our bad breath! j/​k! They also have fruit flavors and even dessert flavors. It was so interesting.
The lounge is nicely set up with a huge glass display case of different electronic cigarettes along with its accessories. And behind the counter are all the small bottles of flavors used to plug into the electronic cigarette. There was a menu that they have to show you what they have to offer. Just like a restaurant! There were posh lounge sofas and chairs where you could sit and smoke. Pretty cool!
The person «Johnson» who helped us was extremely knowledgeable about the product. He knows and understand how each accessory works, and how to manipulate the electronic cigarette to make it even more enjoyable in addition to how to make it more durable. He was a very nice guy who was very polite and gave us his undivided attention and was always smiling. This is a great example how every business should be operated regardless of what is sold to make it successful. Good job Johnson!
If I do ever become a electronic cigarette addict… I know where I’m going.
Btw, if you check in on Unilocal or Facebook, you get 10% off the product. Just let the associates know.

I don’t smoke myself, but always seemed to end up dating smokers. So you’re trying to get them to stop ashing in the damned Benz with the nice perforated, massaging, cooled AND heated leather seats, and vaping is the solution these days. The right thing to do (if you decide to keep a smoker in your bed for more than a couple of days) is to make a bee line for Beyond Vape’s couches right after the chick get her bucket full of sugar water from Half n Half. H&H’s space makes me so ridiculously claustrophobic I just want to go Postal in there. (Do vaping kids these days even remember that first shooting in ’86 at USPS? Probably not)
Unfortunately, these smoking side-​chicks are also always fickle as hell, so imagine your surprise when you bring ‘em to Beyond Vape and the juice menu reads 105 flavors long. *SMH*. Sometimes, the freedom that comes with capitalism is really too much of a good thing. It’s like: B***CH, DECIDE ALREADY, the ice in the half-​n-​half foamy drink thingie has completely melted already. Can we GTFO of here?
