Love the vibe here, this time I was helped by a gentleman named Moe who is very helpful as well as friendly especially considering I walked in 2 minutes before they closed just to buy some rolling papers lol. Cool local head shop, some other pieces are a little pricey but with quality comes cost, right? Worth checking out for sure.

I live on central Avenue and this smoke shop is the closest one to my place. I couldn’t stand the people that worked here before the attitude was just annoying. But recently they got all new staff and I love them. They are nice, informative and just cool to hangout with. I definitely recommend this place now to just hangout and get all of your smoking materials. Definitely the best smoke shop in Saint Peter by far now.

Dawna is an amazing kratom tea tender, making great drinks, great conversation, and keeping us up on local happenings. I recommend the 20oz Overboard Kratom Tea w/ Raspberry and Agave. Be sure to order the 1/2 gallons to take with you and enjoy at home or the hotel. You get a discount if you bring back the 1/2 gallon for a refill.

Visited twice on a recent trip. The white and red kratom is top notch, didnt try green. They all all have 3 levels of strength, go with the second super. Any doubts Mo is there for all your needs. Mo was courteous and knowledgeable and a great person.

I used to hate coming here. They must’ve changed management because this store has completely changed for the better. Now it’s my favorite kava bar in the area. Kratom tea is ON POINT. Kava is ON POINT. And they have just about everything one could ask for in a “Smokeshop.” If you haven’t been here in a long time, I urge you to give it another shot. You won’t be disappointed. The employees will brighten your day!

Love this spot, super convenient location. It’s in the process of discovering a new aesthetic & so far I trust the building’s intuitive direction with what lighting it will & will not accept🌞 excited to see how the final revamp turns out.*Also, The new humans are sweet and helpful, 10/10

I’ve been to many, many kava bars. This is exactly how kava bars should be! This is the highest quality kratom in town- filtered to clarity and fined tuned by potency. They maintain an extremely clean space. The bar is spotless! Above all else their customer service and vibe is on point. You enter feeling welcome and included by warm friendly staff. If you have questions they are happy to educate and take care of you. More than anything you can tell they care. This is a safe space to have fun, relax, and enjoy kratom.Bonus: All of the kratom is ice cold on tap, and they have carbonated specials!

It was my first time visiting a shop with kratom drinks and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tony was very welcoming and answered all the questions I had. Definitely recommend if you’re in town!

Used to be a huge fan of this shop&it’s prices&its selection (like come in sometimes 3+ times a week), each staff member has been so kind and so helpful and they’re really good at curating a relaxed retail vibe. The issue is that me & other regulars have all been double charged & there has been no recourse (I was randomly double charged not once but twice - totaling over 100$ - when I hadn’t been there in over a week.) alongside their recent price increases on a lot of stuff… there are other smoke shops that will not lowkey steal your money lol. Only buy from here if you’re good with paying for it twice!

Apparently the staff don’t like people to come in an look around and see productsI don’t know who owns this establishmentBut the customer service here if really messed upYou lady’s should be hell of a lot more inviting instead of making people feel like they are disturbing them for walking in the door wow just excuse me for wanting to maybe purchased something from you

Wanna drink some Kratom and browse all the latest Vapes and vape accessories? This is your place. Its okay. The patrons there seem to be in a zombie stupor and the employees look unenthusiastic to be there. The Kratom feels powerful so be careful. People do vape inside, so that kinda sucks.. but if youre play with it, then go have some decent but powerful Kratom.

Please be aware before purchasing anything from here, that they have a nerve return policy. I purchased a hookah, because I could not locate mine. Only to get home and find out that my partner had put it up in storage since I had not used it in so long. I came back to Johnny‘s under an hour however, apparently I was an hour too late. I was told that once the items leave the store they’re not able to be returned. That’s okay that that’s their policy, I just think it would be nice to be aware, which is why I am making you. (:

Johnnys is our favorite smoke shop. We have become loyal customers and return Atleast twice a week. Their staff is the best part, they are laid back and efficient, they are welcoming and easy to talk to, they ALL put a lot of care into their job. Their products are reliable and reasonably priced. They always have different deals and a variety of options. If you stop in ask for Bea because she is the best.

I’ve been at peace having a place like Johnny’s to pull up to, awhile opening my network and knowledge downtown.From the jump a 3 years ago Dawna welcomed me with such divine kindness!She’s got an awesome team holding things down, and I can expect a tasty CBD Nitro and satisfaction from every purchase. I’m impressed with each new renovation and the vast options you’ve got on the shelves!Thanks Toni Viiice & Bea for maintaining your coooo energy & customer service no matter how busy things get behind the counter. I can count on y’all and both Amanda’s to greet me in a great way and answer product questions and recommendations on new products I’ve yet to try. As well as finding out about local gems and happenings. Way to build community!Y’all pit stop at this shop when you’re DTSP and check out what you need. Ayy, you Might end up with something you never thought you needed! Aha

Review №18

Edit: Avoid at all costs, read the other reviews. This place is a scam.They literally said they would sell me a broken unit and if it’s broken, it’s on me to contact the product team and it’s not their concern.What kind of store openly suggests selling something broken and putting it on the customer?Don’t shop here, this is not a mom & pop St. Pete place. There are many other great places. I walked out without buying anything and will tell my friends to shop elsewhere. Great business model, lol.

First off, I dont vape but Im a kava/kratom bar tourist, experiencing 14 of them in the Tampa Bay area before Johnny Vapors. And THEY ARE NUMBER ONE as far as kratom goes! Upon first glance you wouldnt expect a vape shop to serve a great kratom beverage, but I was totally blown away! The kratom was both strong and clear with no grit, and they even had a fizzy version which was the best part(try it with peach or ginger lemonade flavor!). You can really tell that they put a lot of love and effort into it and it also doesnt hurt to have friendly servers and management. If you love kratom, you owe it to yourself to visit JV!

It was late on a Sunday night. I needed a place to clear my head and grab a tea or two. I did a search and found Johnny’s. After reading several reviews, I figured I’d head over to check it out. I’m glad I did. I was immediately welcomed by Anthony who was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tea was outstanding, the overall atmosphere was very pleasant, and I enjoyed some good conversations with a couple of patrons. All in all, I highly recommend this place and look forward to my next visit.

Review №24

At first the place seemed amazing, but then I had to interact with the employees and learn about the bogus business policies. My original total of $23.xx wasnt enough to break a $100 bill. So then I get more items to get to around $50, I fall short at $49.74, they still wouldnt break the $100. I then opt to buy my friends beverage, bringing my total to $65. The delta 8 preroll was completely smashed and clogged and I couldnt get it to light. I was to told that that never happens and that I probably didnt know what I was doing. Its an absolute joke of a store. Making customers spend additional money while selling faulty products that do not function as properly described, what a great business model. Im moving right around the corner from the Clearwater location next week and I cant wait to never step foot in there!

Review №25

I’ve only been to a handful of kava bars in Florida and this place has been the best experience and vibes above any other. The smoke shop alone is very well organized and I know I can always find what I’m looking for. Toni is very knowledgeable and always helpful when I have questions or concerns about anything I’m purchasing! Definitely a place I stop by anytime I’m in the area, no doubt!

Review №29

The customer service beyond rude no hospitality at all friends and I sat down kava tender while I was looking at the pops rudely asked if i needed anything I told her no I was looking and I was joining my friends at the kava bar she snuffed returned back to her phone chatting with her friend, that left a bad taste in my mouth then after I order my drink and had cash sitting at the bar instead of grabbing the cash and getting change so I could be comfortable she made me walk back to the register to pay, then my friend was throwing something in the trash right by the bathroom hadnt even ordered yet she rudely stopped him and told him he has to order before using there bathroom mind you me and my other friend had already order and paid for our drinks, the attitude and the talking down to was enough and for the price of the drinks they were very weak, no thank you no conversation straight focused on her phone and conversation with her girl friend when we left no friendly goodbye more like a bye that was grateful we were leaving, the customer service was absolutely horrible, we ended up going down the street where the kava was better and cheaper and the kava tenders were hospitable and super nice do not come here walk the .03 miles down the street to the other one you will thank me later

Review №31

Im not one to leave a review, however, Ive been coming here since I moved to St. Petersburg (almost $400 spent a month x 6 months, you can do the math) and everything is great, from the minute you walk into the store until you leave, up until something is wrong with your vape. (Not to mention that they are overpriced) go a few blocks down and you will find the same stuff for $10 or less per item. Which I get it, they charge for the convenience and where they are located.Ive had multiple vapes in the past not charge properly which I never brought up because I get it, nothing in this world is perfect. But if Im telling you that I bought 2 vapes of the SAME and both are not charging and it has happened in the past, how is that the customers fault? You should check on your distributors and not blame it on the customerThe person on the phone said, that the customer should make it a habit of checking prior to leaving the store. In whos mind does that even make sense when a vape doesnt need to be charged when you first buy it? Are you asking for the customer to bring their own charger? No sense of customer service or soft skills.Its not about the money, its about the principle of not caring about your recurring clients.Not that it matters to the business (because they dont care about customers), but I will be taking my business elsewhere moving forward.

Went for my first time after breaking my vape and in desperate need of help it was late. The ladies on shift were very patient and understanding and very helpful. I left with what I needed very pleased. Returned several times again for all of my replacement parts and have only had positive helpful delightful experiences every time. Will be returning for sure

Review №33

Cool spot, but Ive literally never felt much energy or excitement of friendliness from the staff. I havent been back since the last semi-rude encounter. Ive been told the vibe is much better now. Id be willing to go check them out again.Heres my request: try to make your customers feel wanted in your establishment. And its not like Im a difficult person to deal with... Im a very easy customer to have walk in your store... and one whos spent hundreds of dollars on your *very good* merchandise over the past year or so.. So the cold attitude is always really strange and confusing to me. Whats that about?EDIT: okay that review is 3 years old. i could not rave enough about how this place has improved - especially in the customer service department! every single one of the staff members is totally awesome, super friendly and knowledgeable. their inventory is spectacular, i never leave empty handed. bravo to Johnny Vapors!! thank you for being you.

Review №34

The place is great. The people are sweet. Prices are ok. But the feel free shots are way over priced. They are $18. You can get them at vapor roads for $9. And a fairly new place called the spot on 66th st for 3 for $25. That’s a huge huge difference. Especially if you do them quite frequently like myself

Johnnys is great. They keep a wide selection of everything and even brew their own Kratom Soda. Highly recommend checking it out.

Review №36

If youre looking for kratom, Johnnys has the best in St Pete. By a mile. Paying $12+ for a double anywhere else is a literal scam.Wifi, outlets, snacks, friendly service.I do wish they would change up the music / vibe a little. Its a shame that this place is always empty when other nearby kava bars are constantly bustling and create a community. The vape shop / edm(ish) vibe just isnt super welcoming, the giant bar is fitted with outlets but I hardly ever see anyone using them.

Tony is one of the best tenders in the area and helped me get a great drink together. My favorite dog friendly kava/kraton bar, I always bring my pup in for a drink and to pick up whatever I need.

Review №38

Favorite place to grab some Kratom tea to-go, they have 2 strengths of each of the strains and plenty of flavors to make it tasty. My ‘go-to’ is their super potent green tea. Great way to start the day and give you a bit of a mood boost. Their super potent red has been a great tool in keeping my anxiety at bay. Every shop they own have terrific atmospheres with extremely friendly and helpful staff, wonderful alternative to your typical bar.

Review №39

Up until now, I would have given this place 5stars, but when you sell me the wrong size coils and then want to give me a runaround about exchanging them for the correct size you rating drops. The correct response, especially since I showed you the exact type of device I had on your shelf and YOU picked them out and even double checked the box to be sure, would be Im terribly sorry for the mistake, well replace them immediately. Not, Ill talk to my manager because I didnt make the sale and get back to you, I have people in the store, I have to hang up.

I visit this shop weekly. Everybody is supper friendly and knowledgeable. The manager has made sure to place orders so I have what I need when I come by. Tony, he the man! I walk by that door and he already knows exactly what I want. Cool vibe all around. Have visited other shops in the area, but none compare!

Review №41

Typically don’t leave reviews, but the store clerk with longer curly hair and darker skin was extremely rude. There are several other poor reviews regarding this employee. I am not a first time customer at this store, as I typically get kratom from here. I was standing by the front door on the phone with someone while waiting for my partner to buy his vape juice. He asked to see both of our ID’s and I told him that I would not be purchasing anything. He asked for my ID anyways so I respectfully gave it to him. He would not sell juice to my partner because I was standing in the store (I turn 21 in two weeks), and told me I was not welcome in the store. This is false, because as previously mentioned, I get kratom from here, never mind the fact that I am not even a smoker. We will gladly be taking our kratom and vape business elsewhere. Treat your customers with respect.

The guy with long hair is very rude and is no help. I was a first time customer and will never go back made me feel very unwelcome and comfortable.

Review №47

Kind service, friendly bartenders.The Kratom is overpriced and weak. Better price than in some other local bars but not nearly the strength. Might be good for beginners.The place is kind of a strange concept. Good idea with the two overlapping audiences, but its weird to drink Kratom in a vape shop. Its cool but weird it doesnt feel like a shop or a bar.Cool crowd, friendly service, weak drinks that are midrange in price.

Went in there to get recommendations on preparing kava while I was waiting for my cousin to arrive downtown. He gave me no recommendations was extremely rude and seem like he wanted to push me away so he could talk with his friend. When my cousin arrived she went into purchase a cigar and she asked if the cigar shop nearby was still open in which he lied to her and said it was not assuming he wanted her business. Then when she asked her to cut her cigar he said no , urged her to purchase it and she left the establishment and told us never to return . Disappointed . I never give reviews but I feel management should be aware as I, myself am a local business owner an feel he should be terminated. He was a darker skinned individual with an afro.

Called looking for a specific vape flavor, they answered and lmk that they had it and the price, went to get it, they were nice, called me out for taking so long lol, and got me my vape and even offered me a discount offer for my patronage.They do more like a kava bar.

Review №52

The associates at Johnny Vapors seem to be fairly knowledgeable, and the juice selection is pretty nice as well. Areas for improvement mainly include customer service. The associates arent the friendliest guys if youre not a regular there, but theyll get you squared away if you know what youre looking for. Being born and raised in St. Pete, its nice to see a shop that has the vapor products we need, but the atmosphere is not quite at the point where I feel welcome to stay after Ive bought what I came for.

Johnny’s does kratom the right way by adding some citrus to enhance it just enough to give it the special feel. Shoutout to Toni and the rest of the crew who are always super friendly and generous with the doggie treats for my pup.

Review №57

Good kava bar, convenient for where it is in downtown st pete. Lots of products for smokers of all sorts, def can find some stuff be interested in if you are one. Drinks are reasonable, potent 10z kratom about 7 bucks, full half galleon of the good stuff might be 20 bucks or so. Tea-8 is very nice, had it with guava. Felt nice and relaxed. Had store part in front, bar half way down, then some coaches going toward the back. Also has outdoor seating. Kratom in red, green, and white. Had lots of cbd items and kava as well. Staff was friendly and def knew their stuff! Overall recommend trying out and good place to chill or hang with friends in a nice friendly environment.

The kratom dude is awesome, hooked me up with a badass box and tank. Place isnt always hopping, but the company is pleasant. Some of the reviews say the staff is rude, thats just not true. They joke and have fun, its a very casual laid back atmosphere. Youre not going to be treated like a king, youll be treated as an equal. Good folks, good company, good selection, fair prices on juice, best kratom drink Ive had anywhere.

Went once & dont plan on going back. I was treated as if Id walked in to a members only establishment & they were annoyed I was there. Im very polite & even I smile when talking to the staff & Im a customer. Vapor Road has SUPER friendly staff & make you feel welcome. When I first bought a vape I asked about 50 questions & they answered all with a smile. I asked like 2 questions at this place & felt I shouldnt ask anymore by the look on staff womans face. Pricey too.

I have been coming to Johnnys for almost 2 years now and won’t be returning. I purchased a drink today nearly $18 after tip and less than 10 min after sitting down an employee told me I can’t be in there unless I’m 21 (I’m 19). I have been to a handful of kratom places and never experienced this, I have even gone to Johnnys other locations on 4th st and in Gulfport and never experienced this. If this is really the case too there should be a sign posted. Overall the staff at the downtown location is rude.

Amazing experience. Kirsten was super helpful. Gave us advice on drinks, a price cut, and a cool environment to chill. The Kava had a bad effect on my body because I hadn’t eaten and Kirsten heated me a slice of her own personal pizza to let me eat to feel better. Amazing service. Friendly staff. Chill zone. Thank you Kirsten.

Thia place is awesome. Me and a friend are visiting from out of town and decided to try kratom for the first time. I LOVED it but a friend of mine who is sensitive to stimulants jad a real bad reaction. Kristin took such good care of us even brought us out some free pizza to help with my friends stomach. It did the trick and the anxiety went away. She made it clear to us there are good caring people in this world. Highly HIGHLY recomend this place.Not to mention their selection of vape flavors was on point!

Pretty rad vape shop. Most of the negative reviews have to do with customer service, which is weird because they always treat me with respect while im there, and on top of that ive seen customers from beginner, to intermediate to advanced all get the service they need, and walk out happy. Super relaxed atmosphere, great juice, competitive prices, and i love going there. Would recommend.

Review №77

Ive been in there a few times because its close to my work, but Im not doing business with them any longer. Id say Ive been there about 4 times, and every single time I go in there my questions are interrupted by the clerk cutting me off and having conversations with their friends. I bought my set-up from them originally and have been going back to purchase coils but the coils theyre selling me must be faulty or something, they only last a few days. When I finally got a word in after standing there listening to the clerk talk to his friends, he got extremely defensive and said the coils should only last a week anyways. Not at the voltage I have it at, definitely not. They should be lasting 2 weeks about. He treated me as if I had no idea what I was talking about. Every time Ive gone in there I get a different answer and am ignored for several minutes until they finish talking to the vapers at the bar. Id recommend vapor road. Much cheaper prices, and the people actually treat you like a decent human being.

Review №78

Had the opposite experience from the other reviewer. Staff is great and very helpful. If you are just starting out dont let the other review steer you away. Getting good advice from the start and having a expert steer me in the right direction for hardware would have saved me a lot of money in the long run, I should have gone to a good vape shop from the start. I live in Tampa and typically frequent their other store We Just Vape in Carollwood but like to stop by Johnny Vapors when Im in the area. I have meet the owner and he is very engaged in his business and customers and will stand behind the products he sells!

I see reviews talking about pricing. Guess what, youre down town at a prime location. Everything down town is going to cost a bit more. I see reviews saying the staff ignored them. Its not on purpose, sometimes people slip in unnoticed. I have and I go there often. The staff is great, they are there for you. They have help me out many times and other too. Ive never been treating poorly or seen anyone treated that way.If youve never been, check them out. Youll be glad you did.

Johnny Vapor is the best smoke shop in downtown St. Pete! Toni is a great dude and everyone else is also very helpful.

Review №83

WOWIs all I can say. Ive been drinking kratom on and off for 3 years now. I usually buy wholesale kilos to budget. My (non-budget having bf) has been going on and on about how good their kratom is. He always liked the drinks, capsules, and extracts. Ive always said we can make that all at home. So I was using botavas kratom next to bula-waking up sick throughout the night, having to drink 4-5 drinks to stop sweating!! Im not sure whats going on there but come to Johnnys. Ive never paid more than 100 for a kilo but will pay the extra 50 for theirs. I had 1 ONE 10z overboard, and felt more fabulous than i have in days. They even have capsuled kilos for only 180-u CANNOT beat that. Ive bought from many local and eastern vendors and Johnnys wins hands down. Im used to drinking 7-12grams per drink. My bf had the .5g capsules, I double brewed Brents kratom, drank 2 shakers full, still sick and even anxious-off of green? I poured 4 caps, (only 2gs) of the white capsules in a little water and felt recovered. In the end JOHNNYS better for the budget!!Side note, I ask a LOT of questions and know I require some patience from people sometimes lol. I didnt catch the name of the teatwnder who helped us but she was shorter with a short pixie blondish hair, adorable, and SO knowledgeable and patient with us! Thanks babe, youve earned my vote!!

Great ambience at this vape kava/kratom lounge. The employees are supper friendly, Knowledgeable and will have answers if youre unsure of any item. This is a no BS crew!Being able to vape inside and out of the miserable heat of florida, its a small sanctuary to chill out relax and be around others who have a love for good drinks and great quality vape devices and accessories. Keep in mind thiis is a vape lounge/bar so if youre sensitive to people vaping around you, youll have to find a different spot.

Donna is the most unprofessional manager. I live in downtown st pete and after knowing how she treats some of her customers I would rate this vape shop 0/5 stars if I could. Why treat customers poorly during a time like this? You should be lucky to still be in business. Will NEVER come back again, for a drink or to buy a vape or for anything.

One of my favorite spots in town. You can relax and mind your own or you can strike up a nice conversation with the tenders or other guests. Nice variety of e-juices and an assortment of flavors for kratom or kava.

Review №88

Went in to test drive the experience, but was instantly put off by the baristas inability to tell me what the Delta 8 tincture was extracted into. The owner refused to say it, citing trade secret platitudes.Excuse me, but if I am going to drink a medicinal beverage, put something in my body, why should I trust someone who cant answer the simple question of what ingredients are in it?When herbs are extracted, they go into a liquid. Be it oil, glycerin, honey, vinegar, wine, vodka or water, the extraction means the potent properties of the herbs are going from their dry or fresh state, and via heat, chemicals and time, they end up in the liquid.WHAT LIQUID WAS USED TO MAKE THE EXTRACTION? is a fair question. For example, if the liquid is honey, and I am diabetic, this could create a bad blood sugar situation, possibly even a diabetic coma. If the liquid is vodka, and I am in recovery, this could trigger a relapse. If the liquid is vinegar, and I have acid reflux, then my stomach could burn for hours after one sip.It is a grave disservice to ones customers to be evasive about such simple information.Its something that they should have no issue with being straight up about. But they could not tell me, hemmed and hawed about it, and then flat refused.I have worked hard to obtain health homeostasis.I just dont trust people whose thunderous actions speak louder than their words.

Horrible service couldn’t even give change, Your employee actually told us they didn’t need our business after they couldn’t provide us with change for a $50 product when I handed him $100 bill. Unbelievable as a business owner to multiple businesses in the area I am truly disappointed and will let everyone know to go down the street to the other smoke shop that guided me in the right direction was very helpful and was actually able to give me change! 0 stars

Loved coming here but after one bad experience I cant recommend it anymore. I bought a Delta 8 cart, did not work whatsoever, tried exchanging and even tried smoking it in front of whoever was working, barely anything came out while half of it burned. TRY YOUR DELTA 8 CARTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE, THEY DO NOT ACCEPT EXCHANGES.

Visiting St. Pete & my coil died. Johnny Vapors was open till 11 (later than any shop in the area). I stopped in about 9:30. Live music was going on & the place was busy, with about 20 people sitting at a vape bar or near the front listening to the music. Got what I needed quickly and was on my way! Very cool place, wish I could have hung out but was visiting family.

Don’t know the products they are selling. Specifically asked for a non menthol nic salt and was sold menthol. Tried to bring it back and they wouldn’t help me exchange or anything. Had an entire discussion about how I can’t do menthol. There are a million vape shops on 4th street alone. You just lost 2 customers for poor customer service. 👍

4.4 stars ,are you kidding me!I went there for the 1st time and was there for 5mins b4 anyone asked can I help you.A young lady then decided to wait on me never said hello ,never smiled. I purchased a bottle of juice and it was 7.00 more than anywhere I bought the same juice.I have been vaping for 10yrs and was there in its infancy so I no what the products should cost. U reccomend you find another vape store or go online unless you are desperate.

Im really trying to get in to vaping and such but we are all begginers at some point so everyone told me to go to johnny vapors they would have what I wanted to get started. I was never greeted and the associate was very annoyed with my lack of knowledge and slightly rude about it. I kept getting ignored while the associate stood talking and after an hour I left with nothing and still continue to smoke cigarettes. It was a kool place very chill but only go here if you already know everything there is about vaping.

Review №123

Over rated as energy boosters, pain relievers and the silliest Euphoria . Kraton is an erbal tea in three shades of green, the Shade of Grey for Energy, the reddish green is painreliever then green for Euphoria. I was in Hubur when I was talking to the driver he brought up Kraton and started preaching its energetic quality. I was intrieged though I had heard other stories which contributed in helping with withdrawl from Methadone and or any other opiots drugs. My ears perked up when he said Energy erbs. I went inside Johny Vapors....in down town St.Pete. I saw long bars but only three customers sitting close together puffing on their favorite taste such as Cherry chip chip, watermelon wheelies ect.I feel Vapor is not all that popular in this country plus these bulky contraption looks silly when the user exhales mass quantities of these fruity smelling vapors overwhelming their face for few seconds.One time when I was not feeling too well from a mild cold. I was waiting for my bus when I suddenly smelled the familiar fruity scent of Vapors and I felt extremely nautious I had to walk a short distance to throw up.I know I sound hypocritical because I am a smoker and had been for nearly 40 years. I wish I can stop but I grew up during the time when smoking was accepted and practically all my peers smoked. I am glad this has changed so drastically no with our new generation of non smokers. Both of my daughters do not smoke and I refrain from smoking when I am around them. These Kratons are nothing but bunch of hypes and does not help with withdrawls, not give energy. How do these shops get away with selling such inexpensive garbage. Just go to a coffee shop instead.
