Up In Smoke

DO NOT go to this store for your Vape or E-​cigarette needs, period. The staff is completely uniformed in the industry, and they will sell you outdated hardware and crap E-​Liquids. If you are using a more advanced set up like a mechanical mod, they will probably set it up for you in a way that can be potentially harmful unless instructed thoroughly on how to safely operate the device, which they will not know.
The staff is rude, selection is small, and there are two other Vape shops within two miles of it that specialize only in that specific industry. I will go hit up one of the two Crescent City Vape locations Uptown before I go here for Vape stuff, and if they were closed, you can always go to the Mushroom till midnight 7 days a week. I feel bad hearing the stories some of my friends have from this place, and I hope the word gets out that they simply just do not understand the vaping industry and just tacked the stuff onto their inventory to simply try to cash in on a growing sector. Sorry guys, no-​go

They sell knock-​off glass & Chinese import crap. Only thing worth something in there is the rolling papers & BIC lighters

Rude staff. I tried to like this head shop because I’ve been going since it was Mary Jane. However, ever since the location switch, after the name change it seems like all the employees don’t care about customers. Fair prices limited selection, it just seems out out date. I’d recommend a few retailers over this shop. I was literally run out of the shop by an employee I’ve done business with several times.

Best prices on rolling tobacco and supplies out of all the smoke shops in the city. I recently had to stop at another (unnamed) shop on Canal St. (hint, hint) and ended up spending $ 40 on what would have only cost me $ 25 at Up in Smoke. I won’t make that mistake again… Plus, the employees are really nice and helpful.

My friends and I were visiting from OK, so we decided to drop into Up In Smoke HQ. My friend wanted to buy a tobacco pipe for her brother back home. All in all, the pricing was decent and there were a few sales. However, I was very unimpressed with the red-​headed woman who was working behind the counter. She didn’t greet us when we came in (she was too busy on the phone) and she was rude to us when she finally ended her phone call. I assume she was attempting to joke with us, but she came off very negatively. When the phone rang again, she didn’t even answer it. In fact, she demanded one of us girls answer it for her. If I ever return to NOLA, I doubt I will return to Up In Smoke. If I do, I hope another employee (with a better attitude) is present.

I went here for E-​cig stuff. The employees were super friendly and knowledgeable and got my hubs all set up with 2 starter kits and some NOLA vape juice. FYI: they have tons of flavors of e-​cig juice.
Third day out one of the chargers melted itself and the battery that was attached to it died. Phil swapped it out no problem.
Store looks awesome. They have lots of tie dye and batik. I’ve got my eye on a beautiful rainbow mermaid prayer flag string.
Parking isn’t bad. It’s on street parking but so far I haven’t had the misfortune of having to look for spots. always one right out front. Maybe because they’re open later than most magazine street shops? (11a-​7p)

I went to Up In Smoke yesterday for the first time. I would normally head over to the Herb import co or Ra Shop for all my smoking needs… but I came across this place on the internet and thought… Hey let me check it out. Glad I did GREAT place and the staff has the best customer service out of all the headshops around town. Thumbs up and high 5’s all around!

Fun place! There was some really nice thing in there. They had these pipes designed in the Art Nouveau style I don’t use smoking pipes but man those were pretty.
Other than that the clerk was really cool. And oh the clothes in there were nice too and you can order/​design stuff by phone and pick it up later

Went into the shop today just simply for some incense and received the most gracious help from the lady at the shop. She was genuinely interested in helping me out, and took me around the shop showing me different types of incense that I might like, judging by the two I had already picked out. This place has an enormous tobacco and glassware selection, but the shop itself isn’t big and overwhelming like too many headshops these days have become. GO HERE. that is all.

Excellent friendly staff. Large selection. Best experience overall. Will definitely go back.
Even got my first vaporizer. :)

Good shop and pretty cheap, especially on rolling tobacco.
They do accept credit cards though this page says they don’t.

I love Up In Smoke for three reasons;
1) they sell the cigarettes I like for cheap.
2) they have the friendliest headshop employees in the entire world.
3) they’re open until 7 pm. everyday, which is phenomenal for any magazine street establishment that isn’t a bar.
