The biggest problem is with parking. I didnt even go inside because of the parking. DO NOT PATRONIZE BECAUSE THEY USE WHEEL BLOCKERS. A COMPLETE SHAM. I told the WHEEL BLOCKERS "employee," who would only tell me his name is "J" (something the nearby stores said is not the truth) that I was on my way INTO the HIGH LIFE store whose lot it was (2 minutes after parking). He told me simply that I could give him 50 dollars cash or debit or have my car towed. He cited a city ordinance as his reason for not being able to remove the boot due to my impending patronage of HIGH LIFE. I called the city and the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. The only "ordinance" involved was their ability to post signage. The first lie. I scrounged in my car for dollar bills to collect $50 to get the boot removed before he left. "J" then put the cash in his cargo pants pocket, wrote me a receipt (misspelling the word "cash") and took several minutes to retrieve the removal tools from his filthy 1992 Pontiac. I came back 20 minutes later, after calling the city and the police, to see him PARKED on the city SIDEWALK, waiting to do the same thing to another person. When I called the "WHEEL BLOCKERS" line, the "manager" answered. He was immediately rude and started LYING from the first second. I informed him that I would be filing this complaint and he told me to make sure I included that I "used a companys parking spot without shopping there." I will include that but only to emphasize that I was ON MY WAY INTO HIGH LIFE as the BOOT WAS PUT ON MY CAR 1 FOOT FROM THE PUBLIC STREET. I would have shopped at HIGH LIFE and fully planned on it, if this scary dude had not placed a boot on my car and lied to my face. Wheel Blockers claim they work for the private stores. When I called HIGH LIFE, they said Wheel Blockers work for the city. There is nothing but shady lies and what amounts to extortion. This "company" AND HIGH LIFE are a joke and their employees are rude, disrespectful, and liars. I will never patronize a company that leases out to Wheel Blockers, and after just a few hours, at least 10 of my friends and family members will not either. AVOID THIS HIGH LIFE AT ALL COST. LIARS AND EXTORTIONS.

A few weeks ago, I went to High Life after hearing their commercial on the radio. Let me tell you, best staff ever! I went in to get an ecig to help my son to quit smoking. The manager there, Darcie, greeted me right away and was very helpful. Being how Ive never smoked, I was oblivious to everything. She was very patient, asked all the right questions, and helped me find the best kit for my son. She took it apart to make sure everything worked, showed me how to maintain it, and helped me get the right juice for him. It only took 3 days for him to quit smoking!! We got him a kit that had a "v v " battery (dont ask me to explain it), and this amazing Juice called Pluto. We even got him extra pieces and all under $50. And dont believe all the parking nonsense. The staff there DOES NOT have people booted. The city patrols it, and people should learn to read all the "High Life Customer Only" signs as parking is for the stores customers only. Not only were they great, but they remembers us too! Not a common thing in retail. Definitely go check these guys out!

I had a few good experience at this location, however my husband went to this location to purchase two vape mods for us, it was time for new ones. I am a hotel manager and I work 60-80 hours a week, so I was not available to go with him. A few weeks back we purchased two tanks at this location, my husband showed them the tanks and the staff said there wouldnt be an issue with the tanks and this mod working together. He bring this to me at my work and it doesnt work with my tank......He went to go take it back... but of course they stated that some "crazy laws" state that you cannot return these items....They did not tell him that at the time of purchase........SO then he went in and they gave him some crappy connector piece that literally looks horrific on my mod. I have tried to get a hold of a manager but the phone number doesnt work. All and all, I am extremely disappointed!! I will make sure all of my friends are aware of the vast lack of service at this location. We will definitely not be returning. Welp...that is $100+ down the drain.

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

When I walked in, I got bad vibes from the lady covered in tattoos. She pressured me to make quick decisions to buy things and didnt even mention that the started kit tank for vapers werent the best tanks. My boyfriend has been using vapor and knew those tanks werent good and thats the only reason I knew to get a different tank. The kit they sold me for $55 can easily be bought online for $20-25, so it;s way over priced. She wasnt rude, I just felt rushed. I feel like she knows everything is over priced and pressures you to buy quickly so you over look that aspect. They do have good prices on juices and they have pure VG juices. They also have a juice that has melatonin in it, which is a cool concept. They also have pure energy liquids, which is also interesting. We bought a few of those. I probably wouldnt buy the equipment from this store, but the liquids are a good price.

I went in to high life looking to buy a vape pen/e-cig or whatever... and one of the employees made a big deal about my ID (which I got in the 8th grade) I am clearly of age as my ID stated and she was just kind of bashing it. Then I proceeded to pick out which vape I wanted and my boyfriend and I were gonna go half on it (hes also of age) we had friends with us that are a younger than us and when she asked for their IDs she was super loud, it was almost embarrassing because theyre younger than us and they dont have one. I know theres a law because theyre minors but she couldve handled it wayyyy better. It makes me not want to do business with them, because the day before we went in there my boyfriend went in and bought one with his 16 year old sister... Ill probably go to another store or something.
