Great spot. Super friendly & helpful owner. Bonus - two very cute, well behaved and amiable to petting shop dogs.
Blaze Chicago actually has vape juices and devices, for nicotine not just THC/CBD related goods. It seems that these days just about all "vape" shops are primarily head/smoke (THC/Tobacco) shops. Not this one.
Fortunately, Blaze Chicago has a small but quality selection of: popular nicotine vaporizer devices replacement pods and coils vape juices for use with nicotine nicotine shots for adding to 0 nic juices disposable nicotine vape devices
In addition to the typical nicotine"vape" shop type products, Blaze Chicago also has a wide selection of THC/head shop typical goods. You'll find shelves and display cases stocked with various types and sizes of glass bongs and pipes, papers and rolling related goods, torches, just about everything you'll need to get your bake on.
To make your shopping experience complete, you'll find a nice selection of cold drinks and snacks.
I highly recommend this shop. The owner says she's been running this shop for 8 years. She's very friendly and knowledgeable, even offered to attempt to have coils for my devices and my favorite juices in-stock for my next visit.
The shop entrance is ADA ready, wide and wheelchair accessible. Shop interior is very clean, well lit and laid out, easily ADA/wheelchair navigable. Parking is street only, with ADA loading areas at either side of the corner Blaze Chicago is located on.
Thank you Blaze Chicago! You've definitely earned my repeat business 🙂
PS to owner: Check out "alltheflavors" dot com and "diyordie" on YouTube. There's also a ton of recipe and community help on Reddit. Search for DIY VAPE. Bullcityflavors is an excellent source for flavors and mixing accessories. Once you have success with a couple shake-n-vape recipes (ie Custard Now), you'll get the bug and start collecting piles of favorite recipes and their needed flavors. It's a great...
Read moreI left this place feeling humiliated. I went there to buy a couple of things, and the whole time I was kind and respectful to the lady behind the desk. I asked her a couple of questions, even asked for permission before I could touch a jar I was considering buying. After I paid for my stuff, I reached over with my hand to grab one of the items that I had purchased so I could put it in my pocket. The lady behind the desk suddenly tells me "can you please not reach over?". I was a bit caught off guard, specially since I was nowhere near her and what I was picking up had already been paid for. Then she tells me "this is my bubble". She actually said "bubble". And then she wraps it up by saying "Is this a typical thing for Spaniards to do?". I was so baffled and embarrassed that I could not wait to get out of there. Was she racist? I've never experienced anything like this in my life so its hard for me to tell. It's a shame because they are my neighbors but now I'm too...
Read moreToday was my fourth time coming to the shop. Good variety and I like their products. Now, two things happened that I was quite uncomfortable, the first one I bought a cartridge for my vape and they gave me the wrong one (it’s ok, that happen) but when I returned the item the lady in the shop gave me $5 cash back, I told her that I paid with card and the credit back was $6.65. $1.65 of difference is not much and I don’t really care, but transparency.
Today I went to grab some stuff and the person in the shop had quite awful mood. No greetings, every time I asked something their reply came with a groggy response etc. I asked for recommendations and all they said was “idk that product came today”, and that was it. Engaging with the client is quite important I guess?
Im from the hood, I’m a person of color, you work in a place were predominately are...
