Viper Vapor

Awesome!

I had to change my review, this is the best vapor shop hands down in San Francisco. They have so much knowledge and don’t try to upsell anything. The store is wonderful and they have the best quality stuff.

Looking for a vape shop? GO HERE.
Great customer service, great products, cute dog.
To share a few things that make this place awesome.
1) The best flavors, for sure — I don’t go anywhere else now.
2) The guy knows what he’s talking about — he clearly lives and breathes this stuff (pardon the pun) and can talk in whatever depth you choose about this.
3) Incredibly helpful — Cedric has even fixed a leaky tank for me that was not from his store (for free no less), and could off the top of his head talk in detail about the tank and the company that makes it.
4) The guy in charge is honest and won’t try and sell you on more than you need — he actually advised me against a potentially large sale because what they had in stock at the time didn’t match closely enough with what I was looking for at the time.
5) Seriously, the bulldog is awesome.
I honestly cannot imagine what you’d want in a vapor store. Sometimes the hardware selection is a *little* light because it takes forever to clear customs, but it’s worth the wait
…and aside from that? It’s pretty much perfect. You’ll get your moneys worth and be supporting a fantastic local business.

I was desperate for a battery for my Nautilus… my 510 battery (a Vision Spinner 1600) was near dead. I have been smoke free for 3 days, and needed anything that would hold a charge for a couple hours.
Stopped in and asked for a battery. I was asked what kind I needed. I said I had an eGo but anything would do. All that was «available» was a tiny 510s (400 or 600 mAh) that came out of a box or drawer off a shelf (I think, I wasn’t even explained what they were, possibly a used tester?). They were not in any retail packaging, not charged.
What about that Spinner II in the case?
«It’s broken.»
Oh.
I could see DOZENS of batteries charging behind the counter. 18 650’s and others.
I have oodles of cash, was prepared for a mod of any price to get a charge for my Nautilus. Heck, I would have dropped for a $ 250 mod… I guess I wasn’t hip enough or something?
«Sorry.» was the only response I got.
Wow.
Thanks dude.
I guess this is a VIP vape club or something? The 2 other customers trying out $ 12 flavors were a priority. I don’t know. I just needed a battery or mod.
I would have waited if the other customers were in the middle of a transaction, or conversation, I just needed a replacement battery or mod of ANY KIND so I could continue on my way cigarette free. I was pleasant, was not rude, and asked politely.
A vape shop should have more then 1 – 2 dead eGo batteries. Heck, they must, to provide tasting services… there were 2 customers in there tasting! Not to mention the dozens charging behind the counter and mods in the case.
I wouldn’t recommend.

Great locale, nice selection of flavors and gear. Unfortunately the staff seems to have half a brain. I brought in a vape, showed them the coil I had and asked to buy replacement coils. They immediately said they had them and sold me a pack. Unfortunately they weren’t the right ones. For somebody working in a shop that is dedicated to vapes, unless they are baked, there’s no excuse for this.

What can I say other than Cedric is the man!!! That guy will wind your coils so sick that the juice vapes you!
Bought my first mech there almost a year ago. Super nice Raijin mod with patriot RDA that still kicks ass.
Since then, it’s become a hobby.
The SF 100w Sigelei is a must have for a Giants fan. Once again, Cedric had my back for that one.
I guess Lawrence is pretty chill too.

This place is awesome and you could not ask for more helpful and generous people.
They help fix and replace your gear without question, get information, and everything you need.

This place is really beyond fantastic. Cedric is a star — hands down the kindest, most informed, honest and straightforward person I’ve met in years. He has guided me toward products he doesn’t carry (how rare is that?), offered insight, expertise, and assistance in determining the very best personal atomizer, batteries, mods, and flavors for me and my crew.
The quality of service and the pleasure of exploring atomizers, coils, builds, mods, and liquids has made me a loyal, in person customer (which is rare in a world of «order it cheaper on the net.») I find I want to stop in and hang out a little, say hello and see what’s new.
If you’re new to the world of mods and rda’s or just thinking about finally quitting smoking, Viper Vapor is the place to come, spend some time, and discover all that’s available to you.
Friends for life, and I haven’t had a cigarette in 2 years! It’s amazing and I’m very grateful.

I was gifted a nemesis clone for my birthday and even though there was basic instructions It wasn’t enough for me to understand my vape so I came into the store where it was built. Cedric and Lawrence are the people to come to for any vapor needs. Lawrence built my vape the previous day and was really helpful with all the questions a newbie like myself had and trust me I had plenty. He patiently went over steps and things to do with my vape and even admitted he was jealous of the build I have lol! He taught me how to change out the cotton, dry fire to clean off the coil and excess gunk, and he helped me look for some juices too. All in all these dudes are hella chill and welcoming. There’s also the added bonus of the cute puppy that greets you at the door :]

Awesome store. CEDRIC knows his shit inside out n backwards. Helped me save a top of the line atomizer I knew nothing about and took the time to get me fully back up n running and educate me about my unit. He didn’t try to oversell me stuff I didn’t need, but had everything I needed at very fair prices.
I wish he had juice samples so that I could try flavors without having to buy. I like to taste so I know what I’m buying before I commit. But the prices were reasonable enough that I didn’t feel the sting.

So last time I came in I was pretty blown away by how kind and thorough the staff here is.
Once again I have nothing but great things to say. This time I expressed that I wanted to get something a bit more substantial but had a tight budget for it. Cedric got me set up with an awesome rig and even pulled one of his display models down to knock some more money off the total! He then went and put it together for me, set the entire thing up and the demonstrated how to do maintenance on it. I ended up walking away with an awesome piece — I picked up a mechanical rig ~$ 200 worth of equipment.
The whole time he was super friendly and was happy to explain the best practices for the rigs use. I am a huge fan of customer service like this and will absolutely continue to be a repeat customer. Thanks again guys!

I was a pack a day smoker for 15 years and joined the vaping world about two years ago. I’ve been avoiding B&M shops for the most part due to their prices and lack of service but this is one shop I find myself at more often than my vape budget can handle.
Cedric is definitely running a tight ship as the shop is clean and the service is top notch! I’ve heard him educate smokers wishing to kick the nasty habit and he’s spot on with information and doesn’t pressure people into taking the plunge.
I recommend this gem of a shop to people who chat me up when I’m spewing vapor clouds.

BEST VAPE SHOP I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!
Cedric & Jay are super cool, patient and very very generous.
Had the impression they genuinely cared about our vaping experience.
They carry many flavors and were very happy to recommend and let us test out flavors.
Cedric even gave me a free coil from a test product they did not carry.
Definitely recommended!

Was visiting San Fran. Found this vape spot initially because they where the only store open past 6 on a Sunday. Being a vape shop owner myself and having the same hours on Sunday. I thought that was cool. Came by. Great vibe. Great service. Tried a bunch of juice. Landed on like 4 awesome flavors that caught my tongue. Thanks for then store owner hookup. I’ll be back whenever I’m In town. If you guys are ever in Miami come by the vapour café. Your always welcome. Thanks!

Cedric and the other amazing guy are the most humble, respectful guys you’ll have the pleasure to meet.
Tastes juice talk mods and walk outside happy! Will definitely be back soon if not weekly! Nothing bad to say about these stand up guys!
Give them a try eh!

Cedric is the man! Very knowledgeable and always willing to help.
Kits for beginners, mechs and RBAs for the cloud chasers and lots of juice!
They offer free builds and troubleshooting any issues you may have with your setup.

Awesome service from Cedric. Love the set up and great prices too! This will be mine and my boyfriends go to shop now. Thanks!

I had the pleasure of checking this place out today! Hands down the BEST vape shop in the city. While the peninsula and south bay (and even LA) have been the placeholders of my best shop experience, I have found my SF go to.
The product is well stocked, the guy working was knowledgeable, and I walked out with everything I wanted and more. The shop is clean, the product is well displayed, and the guy working had excellent suggestions for me along with plenty of flavors for me to try.
I will be back, this place gets my business as long as it stays open!

HANDS DOWN BEST VAPE SHOP I’VE EVER BEEN TO!
Nestled along Divisadero and the Lower Haight area is Viper Vapor. I don’t know much about this neighborhood since I don’t venture out here very much. PARKING SUCKS monkey balls and in the evenings, its a bit shady.
Some notable eateries are located near here too, such as Bar Crudo, Candy Bar, King Foot Subs, and Little Star Pizza.
I heard about Viper Vapor through a friend who was attempting to kick his smoking habit. I’m glad we rolled through last week because my buddy hasn’t touched a cigarette since.
I tried a vape a few times through friends and considered getting one at some point too. Skeptical, I asked a butt load of questions and Cedric was a cool cat. He explained how this «vape» thing all worked; from the technical aspect to the refilling of the flavor cartridges. There were over 50 flavors stocked there, varying from really fruity ones (ladies, come check it out) to robust smokey flavored ones. Also, there are flavors where there is nicotine in it and non-​nicotine.
My friend and I each purchased a vape + 2 flavors to keep us sane. There are some interesting names for some of the flavors, but I have got to say that the Mango, Half and Half (Half Lemon and Half Tea flavor), and the Tundra (like an Altoid) flavors were my favorite.
Viper Vapor has the try it before you buy it concept, which works very well since there are many flavors and juices to choose from.
My buddy purchased the Hazelnut and Tundra flavors. Needless to say, I a very satisfied with the product that I purchased, and converting from my 3 packs a day of cigarettes to a vape has gotta be one of the best decisions ever. I can even vape in a lounge and not get thrown out!
Thanks Cedric for your humbleness and awesome service! I’ll definitely be visiting your store again sometime!

Was walking around the neighborhood and strolled into this place. the store specializes in selling electronic cigarettes and has a bunch of different flavors available for purchase. i don’t really know that much about e-​cigs or vapes, but Cedric was really helpful. he took time to explain the difference between all the products there. he also let me sample a few different flavors. kind of cool that they have a menu to explain all that, too.
if you have time, swing by. the staff is very helpful and can answer all your questions regarding e-​cigs and vaping
