Illusions

I came here looking for a small piece for parties and whatnot, and the guy behind the counter was very patient and understanding as I took a ridiculous amount of time deciding on one of their $ 10 pieces. He took my considerations and needs into account in helping me pick a piece, and i walked away very happy with my purchase.

This location is amazing. They have everything you need when it comes to smoking accessories. Mike (the owner) is a great guy and always gives the best possible deals. I highly recommend this place, you won’t regret it!

I have been coming here for 7 years before it was even called illusions and I am sad to be leaving Davis because this was my go to spot. Mike is very knowledgable, easy to talk to, and always willing to go that extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. I always come here for my tobacco and coal and recently I bought a hookah. It was not hitting right and I brought it back someday to be replaced and he even hooked it up with some products. Don’t by shy! Just make sure to go in with cash ;)

I’ve been coming here for a couple of years, and have to say I wouldn’t go to any other smoke shop.
If you go in, don’t say anything, and walk out, your experience will suck. But if you go in, ask questions and try to humor the owner, he’s very friendly and knowledgable about the products he owns
He has everything we’ve ever needed, and I’m bummed we moved out of Davis!

Moe is amazing :) I was up in Davis for a conference and forgot to charge my Gpen. The guys at Illusions were incredible not only did they test to make sure my own was working but they had the charger I needed and gave me a great price. It made my day knowing that I was able to use my pen for the long drive back to SoCal.
On a side note they also have a wonderful selection of water pipes and rigs. They had David Goldstein rooster rigs, hit man, toro, even a few local artist and a fab egg. I was randomly looking through their selection and saw a in n out cup that I’ve been looking for and almost bought it but had to leave to go back home. I called the next day and got the best customer service I’ve ever had from a head shop. Now I’m a happy customer with my new in n out cup rig that’s being sent to my front door I couldn’t ask for more
Thanks again Illusions :) you will always be my first stop for my glass and pen needs

Poor knowledge of vape products and very limited selection this is a smoke shop not a true vape shop!!! Poor selection of juice and I have not heard of most of the brands. this is a smoke shop it should stay a smoke shop!!! I’d rather drive to sacramento to the many vape/​e-​cig shops then go here for anything related to vaping! I recommend vapour house on q st Midtown or planet of the vapes in s. sac, Carmichael, midtown… hopefully this helps the fellow vapers

I visited the shop today and the owner Mike was extremely helpful and professional.
The prices were fair and the service was excellent.
They have a ton of high-​quality products.
This will definitely be my go-​to smoke shop in Davis. I’d recommend Illusions to anyone.

Went to buy a piece, lots of great selections. I was totally sold when the clerk demonstrated the sturdiness of the pipe by throwing on the ground. And he threw it on the ground hard!
Will be back for any other smoking needs

There were some reviews against the owner, and I didn’t experience any of that! He was so nice and was such a great help. It’s definitely a place people should go to when the need smoke assistance! I don’t know about y’all but I’m coming back!
Thanks, Mike!

The owner is a very kind and fair man and I have experienced nothing but outstanding customer service from him. I had a small problem with an item that I bought recently, and he made it right. I’ll definitely keep going back.

This place definitely has a home in Davis and much to it’s respect this post just concerns it’s practice. I bought a scale from them quite a whole ago from the son who runs the place when the father is not there. And for some reason the error of calibration came up many times deeming my scale worthless.
Already sick of the scales problematic features I gave up and invested my money into another scale from WildZone in Sacramento owned by Sam, a very knowledgable enthusiast than here at illusions (worth a visit).
I called in today to see if I could finally get it replaced or fixed entirely from illusions only to be given a discount on another scale if I were to purchase. This is very poor practice to me and I feel sad that I wasn’t given more attention seeing how the sale of the original scale netted them over 1000% in profits.
It’s a real shame when someone who sells you something can’t or rather won’t put responsibility in their sales practice when something they are pushing goes awry.
With that said best of luck to this shop, but please be knowledgeable when going in or go someplace else.

Super friendly and prices are comparable to other shops in nor cal. Got my sister a pipe there and bought cigarettes and cigars there a few times. Always nice and helpful staff.

This is by far some of the worst customer service and pricing I have ever encountered. My friends and I walked in looking to pick up some shish and we were met by a stand offish 20 something with a scum stache. A few minutes later the presumed owner came out and was even more unfriendly than the first guy. He aggressively told us he sold the cheapest products (completely untrue) and that we were crazy for thinking otherwise.
Not only were the employee out rightly mean and uncaring it seemed they didn’t even want to sell their products. I will not be returning and am now more than willing to pay a slightly higher price to order online so as to avoid any more encounters with these threatening scum lords.

Huge selection in almost anything you need. Prices are legit, staff is always helpful and always willing to just chat with you. Highly recommend this place for all your smoke/​fun needs.

Dishonest business practices! My husband is trying to quit smoking, bought the e-​cigarrette for the transition. These guys sold us used e-​cig cartridges, without the seal (factory tab used to indicate it hadn’t been used). My husband was having terrible withdrawal and said the e-​cig wasn’t working… after inspecting the refills we found that all but 1 was missing the seal and were completely empty!
We took the cartiridges back the next day, and the owner nonchalantly took them back, he made us wait until all other customers were gone from the store (and earshot) — he then gave us new refills with the seals, but not before he accusingly asked us if they had been used! Wow, if I were a business owner selling used cartirdiges I would be concerned! He surely was acting guilty enough, I am sure he or his employees are using these then trying to sell them to customers. Imagine how terrible it is to quit smoking and get empty refills missing the nicotine replacement!
Against my better judgement and because I didn’t want to drive to Sac, I went back for my husband for 2 additional refills. The owner approaches me and says this time we won’t be taking any back, we can’t tell if you used them! I told him then don’t sell me refills that are used with the missing seal! He said, oh some come that way, I don’t know why, and anyways I don’t use them! wow…
Avoid these scam artists…
Thinking of calling the better business bureau on these wierdos

Great glass pieces at great prices. If you want the high end pieces then thats when things could escalate quickly and before you know it you could be paying a lot. A LOT. Shop smart and go in having an idea of what you want.
Be warned though, if you are under age (you have to be at least 18 to see the pieces), they will be very strict towards you. Having a talk with the owner, he told me that undercover cops come in from time to time to make sure that they’re not doing anything illegal.
Overall a fantastic place to buy inexpensive glass pieces. Until Davis opens a new shop, this is the spot to go.

Great customer service. Went with a friend to buy his first grinder and they were very helpful. :)

Illusions has some pretty cool gifts and an impressive back room full of pipes and «tobacco accessories», with a few really lovely glass pieces that I haven’t seen elsewhere. The staff didn’t seem exceedingly personable or talkative, and when I come back I’ll skip the front room full of crystal and rhinestone-​laden clothing… but I *will* come back from that smokers-​delight back room.

After being spoiled by spending the Summer at the likes of The Cave in San Mateo (easily the best headshop in the Bay), Illusions is a one-​stop emergency shop when you’re too lazy or don’t want to wait to go back to your usual shop back home.
The prices on the glass are pretty standard, so this place probably wouldn’t be great for a large investment. The shisha prices are somewhat steep also for what’s expected in the Bay, but what’s a stranded college student to do?
However, they do have a wide selection of paper and shisha products, so you’ll likely find you need/​want as long as it isn’t too obscure.
Overall, a standard head-​shop with standard prices. Stop by for supplies, but save that big trip for somewhere else.

I don’t think I have anything good to say about them. I used to buy a lot of shisha, and never bought any there b/​c the prices were way too high (no pun intended). They benefit from being the only smoke shop in Davis. I caved in and bought a hookah from Illusions a while ago. I knew right away that the hookah was made in China b/​c it was a screw on. When I asked where it was made, the owner said somewhere in the Middle East, even though it said China on the label. Never went back to them after that. Bought it b/​c I needed it.
Honestly, just save your money and go to San Francisco. I bought a pipe in SF for a friend for 6 bucks. Went to Illusions to check out the prices there, and it was over 20.
