The Vaping Buddha

I purchased the Kanger vaping system with a joytech battery. I was very happy when I left the store and the staff were very helpful in explaining the different systems available. I had some issues with the units leaking, which I am still trying to fix, but I believe it is a manufacturer issue. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service and the store in general.

Man!!! This guys are the bomb, theyreally helped me a lot, they are so friendly and willing to answer any questions you have, specially if you are new to vaping, keep it up homies!!!

Friendly and informative, didn’t feel rushed to make a decision. Will return

I’m one of those 30-​something-​year-​olds who recently started vaping and quickly decided to check out every vape shop possible. Having begun my habit in Texas (during vacation), continuing it in South Dakota (another vacation) and returning home to SF, i was shocked at the prices of juice and hardware. That said, I found this GEM and will not go ANYWHERE else in SF. I came here after having purchased my new TC vape from a more expensive shop in SF where the information i was given about it was a bit incorrect. Mind you, i researched the heck out of the hardware so didn’t feel like i was really relying on the shop kid, but was surprised to find that he really didn’t know what he was talking about. At any rate, I came down here. The two people working the counter were incredibly helpful and informative. They were very welcoming and have a nice, put-​together, shop. The juice prices are more on-​par with other places, and they allow you to test. I have found other SF shops to sell a lot more gimmicky juices — one of which i’m positive was NOT a level 3 nic (probably a zero). Vaping Buddha was great and transparent about prices. Found my hometown shop!

You know when you tell yourself «ugh, I really need to stop smoking. Those camel crushes or newports get me EVERYTIME. Or even worse, marlboro reds»
Yeah, I’m a social smoker but I’ve decided I really need to stop that habit because it is not beneficial to my body nor is it good for my lungs when I go to the gym or do pilates. Lol…
Anyways, walked into here and they gave me such a warm welcome and got me a whole new set up versus my old weak one, lol. The guy here helped me out and he’s super sweet, great recommendations for mods and juices. They have a great collection of everything you could want/​need and you can even request them to get more things for your vape.
Very happy with them and will be returning to purchase new juices and all my vape needs. Smoking sucks… but it’s hard to quit. like a toxic relationship with a terrible guy… lol
ignore me. ahahahah.

This is a great vape shop. They have nice mods, great juice, great accessories, and awesome customer service. You can come in with a dead battery, and they’ll charge it while they let you use a loaner battery. They’ll offer you seating and a cup of water while you hang out. I love this place!

(Very late review) I dropped by a couple of weeks ago ! It’s been ages since i been here. The vibe is always good. Anyways, payday was yesterday so i figured I’d buy the same box mod my cousin has! The sigelei 150 watt!

Been to a few other shops and I must say that this is the one that I keep going back to because of the customer service and the ambiance. They are always quick and on point when it comes to rebuilding vape.

So I have been vaping for over a year now, and this place is hands down the best I have been to in not only San Mateo County, but in California and Nevada! The service is top notch, the selection is amazing, and the prices are ridiculous! Every time I am there I want to walk out with something else! I can’t forget about their juice house juice, the Buddha Juice is so tasty, Sumana and Karma are two of my absolute favorites!

Not even sure if I should review since my experience was through an online purchase but since the other in-​store reviews are just as good, I figured I might as well.
I originally sought this shop out as it had Phillip Rocke in stock, something that can’t be said for my local shops in San Diego. The price was on point and the shop isn’t across the country so good news for me. I ordered 2 bottles of my favorite (as it is limited edition, there are limits) and apparently on checkout, chose the local pick-​up instead shipping option. Not an issue though as one of them sent a follow-​up e-​mail noting that my address was not local to SF and asked if I meant to have it shipped. I don’t think I would have ever caught the mistake myself so quite the lifesaver on their part.
The package arrived a few days later and they spared no expense on packaging. My two bottles arrived wrapped in bubble wrap and stuffed with packing peanuts which might seem like a bit overkill but definitely shows they care about their products.
As an added bonus, they threw in a small sample of one of their signature juices, Karma (which I will definitely look into getting more of as it is delicious) as well as a couple Dum Dum Pops for the dumb-​dumb! Not sure if they did that intentionally but I really hope they did as it is very funny. If I make it into the San Francisco area, I’ll definitely head over and check out the actual shop but for the time being, I’ll settle with perusing the online catalog.
Thanks guys!

First impression is everything.
The moment i entered the doorway i was immediately greeted and instantly noticed the nice interior décor. Its very welcoming i have to say. Mod collection is to the right in a glass case, and the RDAs, Tanks and Driptips in the center glass display. The staff is very helpful and social which i like because no one likes an awkward silence.
They are also very knowledgable about builds to products and so on.
Customer service is what i am big on.
I came to purchase the Turbo RDA, 20G wire, Cotton and Juice and i have to tell you, the gentleman that helped me the whole way was very helpful. He offered me water as i used their tools to do my build. Wow. +A. Just the small things on top of their customer service is a bonus.
I am definitely going to be stopping by here when i am not at my usual shop up in Sacramento. Thanks guys!

When I first started to get into vaping I was recommended to check this place out. It is «SICK AS TITS» The customer service at this place is awesome. Very friendly family style vibe.
They are very eager to answer any questions a newbie may have. Shaun has fixed my mod a couple of times when I thought all hope was lost. Sabrina has also rebuilt both of my RDA’s and now she «HITS LIKE A CHAMP».
I would highly recommend this place, I won’t go anywhere else.

Great mod and juice selection. The customer service is outstanding. I love coming here and always getting new juice. The store is pretty big and comfortable, but always freezing cold. It’s kind of hard to enjoy myself testing the juices with the cold air, but other than that I always love coming back here.

The folks there are very genuine and honest when it comes to business. Their products are outstanding and they always have a variety that the customer can select from. They have a chill vibe that makes you feel welcome from the moment you step in and they have a handicap accessibility for their valuable customers.
My favorite attribute about this shop is how friendly the employees and customers are. I come by very often and I’ve never been disappointed by the way the treat you. Not only that, free tea and coffee. Great hospitality!
I definitely recommend to friends and family who love to vape.

Can you say top notch customer service? That’s what this place has. The best staff I’ve ever dealt with at any vape shop or in any type of business! Very knowledgable and welcoming. Not pushy and not salesly. Their store is clean and packed with juices, mods, attys, etc.
I can’t say top notch customer service enough. The Vaping Buddha should be the example of how staff should treat customers. Go here.

As more and more vape shops pop up one may think they are all the same. This is far from the truth. The employees at Vaping Buddha have been in the industry for a very long time and are extremely knowledgeable and have the experience to back it up.
They will help you determine what setup will work best for you and take the time to show you how to use it properly and answer any questions you may have.
It is worth the drive from the city and you will not regret visiting them.

My friend took me here and I was very impressed. As I come in the place itself gives off a very positive, welcoming vibe. I was greeted by the employees who were all sweethearts.
They have a wide selection of vaping gear. Other stores I have been to cater more towards the novice vapers but here all levels of experience are accomodated.
What stuck out for me was the table for sampling juices. They’re available in bottles for people who drip and in addition in tanks for people who don’t.
Prices are very fair, not overpriced in other places like I’ve seen before.
Did I tell you that the employees were sweethearts?

Been to this shop a bunch of times. This is one of my favorite shops to go to. I’ve found a good amount of mechanical mods here that I haven’t seen at the 8 – 10 other shops I visit most often. They have some of the lowest prices I’ve seen around the Peninsula and San Francisco. They have good customer service and have helped out a lot and always showed lots of patience with me and from what I seen with all their customers who walk in, especially noobs, as I was a noob a few months ago with mechanical mods and rebuilding, but these guys really helped me out a lot in such a short time. The best thing about this place is that they’ve never been pushy or made feel rushed and obligated to buy the same day even when they were closing or already closed, so that’s why I keep coming back, and parking in this area is free too.
This shop is more balanced with their products, they have something for people who are just getting started and intermediate users to the advanced vapers. They carry a good amount of mechanical mods, both clones and authentics many at reasonable prices you wouldn’t expect to see.

I absolutely love this place! Simon & his crew are amazing! As soon as I walked in they offered me refreshments & some pizza :) They are definitely knowledgeable, professional, and they make you feel welcomed in their cozy shop. My favorite Buddha juices are samana & nirvana. Also their prices are very competitive, I’ve been wasting money at other places.
I’m going to be a loyal repeat customer from now on. Highly recommended! They even allow pets here too. Thanks again, appreciate how you truly take care of your clients :)
Update 8÷25÷14: I purchased a spinner II in June and all of sudden it stopped working, I took it back to the shop and Simon offered a replacement. Thank you so much! This establishment truly knows how to keep their clients very satisfied! Appreciate it!

Really great shop! Very welcoming! Simon greeted us and felt very comfortable here. Simon introduced us to all his stock from clones to high ends. I didn’t not feel that I was being coerced to buying. I was very impressed! I was introduced to my next high end mod called the stingray in powder coated black copper mod and the quasar RBA. Best mod I have so far along side my king mod. Anyway i digress… simon has it all. From drip tips, rebuilding materials, and polishing cloths. My new go to store
Another thing that impressed me was their tasting station. Simon gave us water so we can sample different juices. He has them
In cartos and for those who drip he has em on hand. They have their own store ejuice. Pretty tasty. Loving the set up and will recommend this vape store to everyone.
Thanks simon, Ricky and baron.
