It is average vape shop, where stoners work. One time they gave me an empty pack of screens and sold them to me. I didnt realize it till I got home.🤭 Always have your ID on you. Tink gives it 3 paws!

Always a great friendly staff and easy experience. Love this small shop. They keep the best of their products here and stay stocked, so the tiny shop just provides a better more intimate interaction!

Griffith and Matt are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I recently stopped in because I have been trying CBD prerolls brands. I fell in love with the Darling Hemp Smokes from Asheville, NC. This brand is thoughtful, beautiful and pure, top to bottom. Their packaging says it best, Smokes made from hemp grown the right way - without heavy metals, micro toxins, or pesticides. No filler, no shake, no compromise. Were looking out for you, Darling. 💞 Thanks for carrying and introducing me to this brand High Life Team. 🙏🏽 Keep up the awesome work! Also, love the shop look, its Plaza Midwood perfect.

As much as I enjoy shopping at High Life, and have done so many times, I was rather disappointed when trying to return a bigger lighter I purchased less than a month ago. From day one the lighter never worked. When I brought it back to return it I was told that I could not because of Covid, which I understand however, would have appreciated the help in performing an even exchange. I was instructed by the employee working to buy a camp fire blow torch at Target because they work better. I’ve supported High Life for years and even when a competitive smoke shop opened directly next door, I stood by High Life. Something as simple as performing an even exchange on a product couldn’t have kept me coming back as a customer. I went next door to LA Vape to purchase a new one.

A great store employed with friendly staff! The selection is rather small, but the store itself is small. Very welcoming and helped when it came to assisting me with my purchase. The only downside would be parking. Every time I go to this store there is always a truck or van blocking the driveway for no one to be able to get in.

Review №22

I thought I was going to like this place from the outside, looks awesome, but after I walked in, my attitude was forced to change. Upon entering, i was immediate yelled at to put on a mask, I just forgot to have it on, it was in my pocket so I immediately throw it on, then after trying to speak to the white male with kinda long hair about doing business, he suddenly thinks I’m a suspected criminal, mind you I’m a representative of a prominent vendor in NC. But the gentleman barely gave me a chance to speak, and I decided bu the way my character was attacked, maybe attempting to do business with this very cool establishment wasn’t worth it at this time. The interaction was very odd, I never had an experience like that in a smoke shop after doing business with lots of them over the past decade. Idk, weird.

Review №28

I bought a junky vape there. Spent $15 The guy assured me the floor model would work. When I charged it, it started hissing and emitting a fluid. It was something like glue, or rubbing alcohol. Very scary!!!! I took it back to them so I could get store credit towards something else but they dont do returns! Because of this, the $15 that I was going to spend, today, I will never shop there again!!! Your policies suck! I will definitely tell my friends not to go there!!!

Been twice, very helpful and friendly staff. Lots of different options. Only issue is kind of tight parking in the back but there are other parking options nearby.

Whenever I find my way to PM, I make sure to stop by High Life. Staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I bought a JUUL yesterday, and Griffin (I hope I’m spelling your name correctly) was eager to help. He is funny guy, but beyond that, he seems to love his job, and it shows. Also, the best glassware in Charlotte.

Review №43

From my experience at Highlife, Griffin seems to be the person with the most amount of leadership and authority in the store location. However, his irate and arrogant personality is really what rubs me the wrong way. His knowledge of the products he sells are 2nd to none, if it were opposite day, and trust me, opposite day doesnt exist.

People who work there dont actually vape and know nothing about the products except how to take your money and give you your product. Stick to the University highlifes.

I promise these guys will do anything they possibly can to put your money in their pockets. I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy to step foot into this establishment of poor practicing fisherman. I would give it -6 stars if I could, but that amount of stars isn’t tangible bc its negative

Review №48

My buddy Tyler works here and every time I’m there I’m super stoked because I learn something new every time from the way he informs customers about other products and he brings the high life feel with the way he carry’s himself. You can tell he enjoys doing his thing for all of high life’s customers! Much love bro

“Check back tomorrow we just got the shipment in today” so y’all have the product that I want in the store but y’all won’t sell it to me. Cool that is a solid way to make people unhappy, keep up the good work.

Absolutely love coming in here. When I did me and my boyfriend pretty much camped out on the floor talking and hanging with the staff. We were in there for a couple of hours and some of the customers even asked our advice along with asking staff members. You cant beat this type of atmosphere at all. Recommend 100%

Review №59

One major issue is to get to the store you basically have to risk crashing your car into oncoming traffic which you are forced to cross in order to reach the front parking and the back parking is eerie and creepy.I actually like the staff here I would hang with them all day long and chill......if I felt safe in the store.the products are poor quality and often cracked or break easily due to thin glass.I recommend infinitys end, they have a nice staff, are friendly and sell affordable quality products

Review №60

High Life in general is a great smoke shop chain around the Charlotte area, and they basically have anything that you could be looking for. This store is a little smaller than most of the others, but theyve always had everything Ive ever went there looking for. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for a smoke shop.

Review №69

RUDE!!!!!!! LIGHTLY STOCKED HEADSHOP. The people who work in this place are very rude. And it is not the first time I have come in and been treated disrespectfully. This time it was a skinnier white guy with a beard who seemed to have a huge attitude about cleansing products. I am a customer and deserve to be treated with the utmost respect at all times.I would love to see this bearded guy on the street so I could teach him a lesson in manners. Whoever owns this shop needs to stop trying to shove a stick so far up their employees arses that they kick everyone out who is trying to make a purchase. I was actually planning on buying a cleansing product for my girlfriend and a volcano for myself, she doesnt like the tobacco wrappers smell but whatever.But anyway went down to high life and got everything I needed. Asked the same questions in the same manner. And even got a few helpful pointers for my girlfriend they had written on a piece of paper. GO TO ONE LOVE ITS MUCH NICER, FRIENDLIER, AND BETTER!!!! Infinitys end is also the jam

Horrible company with zero appreciation for loyal customers. Ground-level employees are great and treated just as poorly; were all expendable in the eyes of management. Do the world a favor and go to a real local place and not these corporate monsters

THESE REVIEWS ARE NOT TRUE!! High Life does not carry synthetics- last time I checked they are illegal! This is a awesome place! Not to mention they have like 8 other locations!!! So no matter whereabout you are in the Charlotte area, youll find one!I was waited on kindly- and they were very helpful! If you head to the Central location- make sure to speak with Dylan!!

I got 100 ml of vape juice and a coil for $15. But, the guy OPENED my juice after I paid for it just so he could smell it. Theres parking in the back of the store. And I dont remember there being a wheelchair ramp. They have great prices. But they lost a star when dude opened my juice.
