Wild Side Smoke Shop

Honestly, I’ve been coming here for about 2 years or more and I have never met a better group than the people who work there now. I love Bella, Andy, Spencer, Dylan, and honestly everyone else who works there. They’re fun and informative. They know what they’re talking about and help people constantly with their knowledge. They’ve taught me a lot. I will always shop wild side. Y’all have the best prices and best people in town!!!

Spencer demonstrated his lack of knowledge almost immediately after I asked another employee about some E-Liquid. I asked about freebase nicotine, and then he rudely interjected in the middle of a potential sale, that freebase nicotine was for “INJECTING” and that what I was asking about was called “Freeform” nicotine. I have used E-Cigarettes for the better part of 11 years so I feel like I may know a thing or two, but either way a quick google search would disprove what he told me. I truly hope that this problem is resolved as I previously enjoyed doing business with this establishment.

Absolute best prices and variety for any glass/cannabinoid/vape products! Amazing staff as well, they all definitely deserve a raise!

They will not give you pricing over the phone. Like everyone lives 5 minutes away from Athens lol! But most stuff in here is about 15% more than it is at a comparable mom and pop... Will not shop here

Trash service. Just recently started going to cloud 9 instead. Much better than this place.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good prices, nice environment.

This is my go-to place when I need a disposable vape in Athens. They have a great selection of disposables and they have made a SUPER convenient notebook of every brand and flavor so you don’t have to stand over the counter and try to read the labels on the boxes. The staff is always nice and happy to help with suggestions. I’ll drive past other shops to go to Wild Side…

Very difficult to bring my child in there (which I understand he technically shouldnt be in there) however the manager was quite rude about it. Also difficult to find someone that actually knew about vaping. Not disposable vapes but the refillable. Parking sucks. On the bright side, they have a large variety of everything.

A really nice girl in there helped out my boyfriend. She had suggestions and even told us to come back if there were any issues with what we bought to swap it out. I didnt get her name but whoever was on shift around 3 or 4 is the best🙏🏻

I went in wanting a vape and these guys were absolutely fantastic! He hooked me up with the newest model to ensure that they will be making replacement parts, etc. for a longer period. He also set up and preloaded my machine so that I knew how to use it. Super friendly and super helpful! Definitely recommend!

Best shop in Athens. Staff is always great, friendly and will help you find exactly what you need! They always have great discounts, sales and giveaways. I don’t shop anywhere else.

This place is AMAZING!! My go to place for great gifts, unusual items you dont see elsewhere & great deals. Staff is the best, they always let me know how to get discounts or what sales are coming up!

Came in here for the first time tonight with my brother and sister and the guy who was working was very knowledgeable of all products and extremely helpful. He explained everything very thoroughly, even took out some water pipes and showed us!! 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be back with friends!!!

Beautiful clean store. Huge collection of everything. Very nice people work there. Great customer service. Great location. Easy free parking. Check it out for yourself.

Great customer service!Highly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful staff.Willingness to go out of their way to accommodate and even order specific items, if they dont already sell them!I have lived in Athens, Georgia for 10 years, and been vaping for 4 years and I can accurately say Wild Side is my favorite vape shop in town.I dont use glass but I like to look at them anyway, and their glass selection is expansive, to say the least, but also full of style and variety. (Not to mention great sales, seemingly all year long.)They also have a growing selection of CBD products!!

Front door and out under 5 minutes. Yes

Great selections, great pricing and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Whoever runs their music playlist(s) has good taste in music.

The folks who work here are phenomenal! I love the conversations we share. And this is the best spot in Athens for kratom! The quality and price cant be beat! If youre into kratom try the Green Hulu, you wont be disappointed! Ive tried all the strains and am a very experienced user and that kratom knocks my socks off! Thanks Wild Side crew!!!

Dani was extremely knowledgeable about everything the store had to offer and I learned a few things about juices that I did not know before stopping by today. She helped me choose which sourin device to get (I got the drop) and I could not be happier! This is by far the BEST vape shop in Athens! More people need to know about this hidden gem of a shop! Well worth the drive into downtown. Thanks to Dani I will definitely be back!!! (:

Excellent service and great prices. The Manager who helped me was knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend anyone shop here.

Really like this place, it was super convenient, especially living next door, but over the past couple weeks I’ve tried to go 4 times... between 10 and 11 (the hours listed on their door and online) and they’ve either locked up early, or opened late. I’d love to spend my money here but at this point I don’t think they want it and it’s more convenient to go downtown to place I know is actually going to be open during their hours. Also I’ve seen this mentioned in other reviews, the sourin air and smok vapes they sell are absolute garbage and only last about a month, and they don’t stand behind the product they sell at all. 5/30 edit update just tried to visit this location again during posted hours of operation, door yet again locked. Never again.

Friendly customer service, decent selection (although they seem to have more space than they know what to do with) and prices that dont hurt too much.

They have good variety, they’re a tad overpriced which is expected of a college town and the staff is really nice. However, numerous times they just dont open or close when they say which is rather irritating.

I cant wait to come back, you guys were awesome and I wish I could remember her name but she was a gorgeous red head. Haha she was extremely helpful. I will definitely be back soon. 🥰

No pricetags, asked my friend for their email for no reason, sold my friend a 15 dollar piece for 50 dollars and advertised it to them as some premium product. Im pretty sure the employees get commissions.

Thanks for essentially crapping on my vape set-up and lying to me. I went in to buy some ejuice and try something new. I was suggested a particular ejuice that was told to be $25. A different guy rang me up and the total came to be $35 (which was clearly different from what Id been told). The manager/owner of the store came to see what was up and then proceeded to tell me that this one ejuice by the company (NOT A LINE OF EJUICE, JUST THIS ONE FROM A LINE) was $35 because of the citrus flavoring they use. So I bought another ejuice from the same line that was actually $25 this time.I go to check out the ejuice website because the $35 ejuice smelled absolutely delicious and I wanted to check their labor day sales, and lo-and-behold it was $25 with NO SALES OR COUPONS at all. So why is it $10 more at this store?? I understand overhead pricing, but thats too much. Considering every ejuice in that line is $25 on their website the manager either 1.) Made a mistake, blatantly lied to me about it then tried to rip me off by selling it for $32 instead, or, 2.) They made NO mistake and blatantly lied to me about it and then tried to rip me off. Either way, not going back.

Great place for all of your smoke and vape needs. 🤘😎🤘💯

Great staff and great manager, awesome and biggest selection that I’ve ever seen as far as salt juice is concerned, super friendly and super knowledgeable. Definitely recommend. 👌

Being an epileptic, THIS PLACE CARRIES THE BEST SUPPLIES IN GEORGIA (to my knowledge) IN ORDER TO HELP TREAT MY SEIZURES, ANXIETY DISORDER, AND MANY OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS!! The staff is ridiculously cool and I will surely be coming back!!

Well organized, guy there was helpful in picking juice and knew right where to go to get the coil I needed, 4 stars because the juice I got doesnt really match my Smok TA. It pops and doesnt smoke well.

An excellent vape shop best customer service I ever had immediately when I came through the door somebody came to me immediately help me with my problem with my vape they had a pod and I needed a coil the greatest experience Ive ever had at a vape shop

Fast and friendly service, my only gripe was their juice selection was slim, I was told they were usually much more well stocked though. Overall, seems like my go-to vape shop on the Eastside

Last time I went in here the vape juice I got was $10-$11 but tonight it was $20 for a vape juice .. even same flavor online I got says $10.99?? won’t be back thats for sure , crazy.

Wide variety of glass and papers just at a glance. Helpful and friendly staff, seem to be familiar with their products and not just selling them. Ill be back for all my smoke needs.

Super friendly staff, and they have a rather large selection of merchandise.

Great team of employees all down to earth and there to help with any of your needs. By far best vape store in Athens

Great place, great staff. Gabby and Caitlin were so helpful and cool. Idk what yall are paying them but give them a raise.

Awesome shop. Employees always working with the customers on getting them what they need. Also need to know if you guys be open 4/20?

Great place, friendly staff, honest. Dont think Ive ever had a bad experience here.

Love it here. The people are very friendly and very professional as well. Will continue to come here and will recommend others

Picked up a coil for my Caliburn vape, they have a large selection and super friendly staff.
