Vishions

Some of the reviews on this place confuse me.
I go to vishions in point loma at least once a week. Anthony is a great, gives AMAZING customer service and is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. We used to go in here for water pieces and now we’ve started using there vape ecigs. Anthony helped us starting out with those and got us all set up. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, I don’t go anywhere else.

So I came in and I had to say hello to the older balding employee. Since when do you have to say hello first I knew right then that this place sucks. They did have a lot of cool looking merchandise but the prices did seem a little high. I noticed that I was there for a good 5 minutes and no customers came in.

I want to thank the store clerk for telling me to write this review on Unilocal.
Stopped by this Store Wednesday night. I was not happy with the product because it died in a week and then I was even more not happy when the stoned dude told me that they have no returns or exchanges policy. He kept repeating the customer is never right at this store and that they have been in business for over 15 years and that they don’t care what I think about their policy or their product. He told me that the owner would agree with him. He did do an exchange for me, but he put the dead product that he took from me and put it right into their product stack. So, good luck to the next person who wants a red battery. By the way the next product that he sold me is dead too. I don’t know how and why, he tried right in front of me; however the moment I tried it, it was dead. Now I have another piece of crappy product. I am never going back there again. screw $ 35!!! This place is not worth ever coming back and apparently customer service is the worst I have ever seen.

Bad customer service, these guys already say no to all returns or exchanges, yet they sell electronics! I’ve gotten a few vape pens there and they’re all either defective or they naturally stop working quite easliy. This is why they sell replacement coils! The pens I got were defective right out of the gate. I told the guy the next day and he was nice but seemed irritated. He replaced the coils free of charge and I decided to pickup another pen (Micro G) in case I still had the same problem with the original pen. A day later one of the micro G’s stops working right after the replacements in the other pen stop working! Unbelievable! So I call and the white rapper guy that works there gives me an attitude over the phone, saying he had a feeling I would be back and how no other pen’s have had any problems. He then gets butt-​hurt because I accidentally interrupt him on the phone. I know it’s a pain in the ass to return stuff but if something is defective, you should replace it.

Every time I have gone in here I was ignored by sales people in favor of annoying drunk military guys. The prices were all higher than I would be willing to pay anyways. I do not understand how this place even stays in business. Maybe they sell designer drugs like bath salts.

Place is a joke. I usually go to Stuff2Puff but I was walking my dog by the beach so I figured I would pop in — all I needed to buy we’re some rolling papers and happened to have 3 bucks on me. After ringing me up, the employee takes an awkward look at me and asks me for my ID. Mind you, I’m in my late 20s with a full grown beard, and just happened to also be wearing my OB collective shirt (which closed down 2 years ago). What part of me looked under 18? I’d understand if I looked even remotely underage and was buying a pipe or tobacco, but to profile me when I am clearly nothing NEAR under 18? Safe to say I will never be walking in here again.
Enjoy catering to tourists, Vishions, because I know several locals who won’t be patronizing your store.

Decent selection and decent prices. I bought a really cool bubbler from here for 30 bucks. However I have been looking for a dry sidecar and neither this place or the other 10 pipe shops in the ob and pb area carry any. What gives?

Of course review #420 would be of a local smoke shop!
Although i mostly just go in here for graff supplies, theyve got a lotta cool pieces and vapes as well. Nice paint selection and not too expensive!

usually I’d give a 5 star. but I was waiting out front @ 9:53 and the 2 ppl that work there get out and walk away down the street for god knows why WHEN THEY OPEN @ 10. Am I @ McDonalds? NO… I’m in need of a damn nail… 2minute transaction.

Nice folks. I was getting my Mom a Christmas present and figured a bong would be cool. That kind of thing tends to be way more expensive back in Boston for some reason.
I used to smoke when I was a kid, but haven’t in many years. The guys were really cool about it when I asked for some help picking out something pretty and feminine for my mommy-​dearest. I got a nice 12″ glass bong, a little blue-​glass pipe that had a flower on it and a stone one-​hitter kind of thing that my mom was talking about, but couldn’t describe it very well. They knew what I was talking about. Everything came to around $ 40 – 50 if I recall correctly.

Vishions selection is okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. The customer service is horrible.. . I have never gone into this shop and had the staff greet me. One girl didn’t even look up from her book. Their prices are high, but hey, they’re better than The Black. At least it’s clean.

You can’t throw a rock in OB without hitting a stoner. Hence the litany of smoke shops on Newport ave. I don’t invest a lot is smoking accessories, not that I judge people who do, but paying a visit to a place like Vishions can be interesting for anyone for the sheer people watching experience.
But Vishions just doesn’t sell pipes and such, they have ciggies on hand and although they’re not any cheaper here, you can find brands like Djarum cigarettes that you can’t get at any liquor store — if that is your thing.
Also, the place sells some cool lighters, but if you are not a stoner shopping here is pretty pointless and if you are, then Vishions is fine place to invest in smoking accessories.
