The Gas Pipe

This use to be one of my favorite smoke shops in Austin, but it has sadly gone way down hill. The staff is very rude and act as though you are inconveniencing them, they all have bad attitudes and couldnt be worse at customer service. The glass selection is terrible, they dont have much to chose from at all and the FEW decent pieces are extremely overpriced. They dont have any grow lights or anything in that area. Bad shop, bad employees, bad selection… not worth your time.

Great selection all across the board and a friendly staff that can assist. Parking may be difficult but most are in and out quickly at this location.

Great selection but the employees have no idea what they’re even selling. I specifically asked whether or not a certain vapor tank was compatible with my battery because it was larger than the ones I already own, they assured me it was but it didn’t work at all. They don’t do returns. Waste of time and money.

This is all I want to do all day! Yeah!

Great customer service, but prices are higher than the competition.

I went here over the weekend and did not realize it was the Rolling Daze event day finale on 8−13−11 when I went.
HOW MUCH FUN WAS IT?
Pretty smoking fun!
Jordan and Tim are amazing (hope I spelled their names right). They had memorable, colorful personalities. Loved it!
I watched people perform the art of glass blowing and it looked awesome! I had never seen that up close before. They offer weekly classes on how to get your glass blow on…(easy there, there is no other way to write that ;)
They had a rolling cigs contest at 4:20 and KLBJ was there. It was hilarious and fun. Someone very close to me got second place.
This store has everything you can imagine for someone who likes to smoke it out…
I got a terrific Sangria scented candle off in there as well as an Orange Vanilla one. MMMMM. They are small but pack a punch!
They even sell E-​Cigs. I saw an array of pipes, tattoo relative items, cigars, cigarettes, tee shirts, movie posters, incense, candles, and other objects that one would normally find in a traditional head shop, of course. Their variety and square footage was much more impressive than other head shops I have been to. Everything is bigger in Texas! Lol!
The store is wide but filled with great merchandise and the parking situation is interesting.
Just keep circling the building, you will get one!
Definitely check this place out for the smoker near you :)

The Gas Pipe is a pretty standard head shop. You will find and assortment of pipes, accessories/​parts, posters, tobacco products. The outside looked better than the inside. It was kind of dank. The people working the shop were too busy eating to ask if I needed help. I explored on my own. I found a couple of items. At check out, they tried to sell us some other things. No one offered us a free bumper sticker or calendar, like I have seen other people post. Booo.
It is nothing special, really. I didn’t find any unique products or helpful staff that make me want to go back. The nice thing is the private lot out back for parking.

I stopped in here today while showing my little brother around downtown Austin. I have always liked this shop and my brother really thought it was awesome. They had a very nice selection of anything you could imagine from glassware to posters and stickers (you can even get a free bumper sticker and calendar).
They have there own little parking lot in the back which is nice as parking in Austin isn’t always the most fun. It also is in a great location being downtown and right next to I-​35. If you cant find parking the first time around, it’s not a biggy as you can take a couple of rights and be right back where you started! If you are in the South Austin/​Downtown area I would swing by this spot, I think they have a much better selection than Planet K with better prices to boot!

Stopped in for some late night stash for my pipe and they had a pretty good selection and very friendly staff. A bit weird having all of the flourescent lights though, was like hitting up my bookie over at the VA. Pretty easy access when down on the strip.
