Bear Smoke Shop & Vape

Polite staff, but such a ripoff on basically everything. I have never been to a smoke shop who marks up 50% against the manufacturers suggested retail price. It blew my mind that I can safely say that this is the most overpriced smoke shop I have ever been to in the state of California. I totally understand that a premium is needed given that it's far from any direct wholesale distribution warehouse, but +50%? Even in this inflated market that is outrageous. I love supporting local businesses however I don't support price gouging.

It was my firs time buying something for anxiety at this store, no experience about the products and their contents, but I trusted the person who was there selling me the magic gummies. I explained this person I wanted something with no side effects like “highs”, palpitations or something like that. He gave me a jar of Koi Delta 8 gummies for the value of $85 dollars plus taxes. I take one of the gummies and after 40 minutes I started to feel very estrange, had a panic attack, with dizziness, and nauseas and to make this story shorter they didn’t take any responsibility for the misinformation, lack of knowledge about the products from the guy selling their products. They didn’t care about you, only about your money, so be very careful buying in this store.

I’ve always had a passion for this store and the family that owns it. I used to have to drive down The mountain from Big Bear down to San Bernardino to go to smoke shops because prices always seemed very expensive up here. Until I went into this store I just assumed that it was gonna be overpriced like everything else in big Bear but I was really in for a surprise. I really really really love these guys a lot they are good people they have everything you could imagine for smoking and vaping and clearly they care about the community. When I moved here this place made me feel like I was welcome in this town and that was besides really competitive pricing that was a big reason why I love this place. The owner is extremely knowledgeable he has a work ethic like no other always there a beautiful family and truly cares about his people. I wouldn’t put my name on the line for just anybody. They deserve people to shop here and as I said you’ll be quite happy when you see that they don’t overprice anything as a matter fact somethings you’ll be shocked that the prices are so low especially being in a resort town you just would not expect that. Keep up the good work you guys I am always so happy to refer people to you because you guys deserve it. And I have a fairly big reach. The hours are amazing as well you can be working all day and into the night and still go there and they will be open they open till really late. Something really cool they just opened a second shop in big bear lake so no matter where you are in big bear they are not far away. Thank you Sahil for making me feel welcome and thank you for caring about the people in your community and the tourists who support our community. Keep up the fantastic work you guys
