I'm a bit late on writing this; I visited Mike's Smoke Shop the first week of October.
I stopped by Mike's intending to just look around, but one thing led to another and I ended up purchasing a new Hi-Si single u-perc waterpipe. I spent a LONG time looking around and being indecisive and the staff was awesome and super friendly the whole time. I was helped mainly by Abhinav, and he really went out of his way to make my visit a great one.
He talked me out of buying a vanilla Illadelph and convinced me to go with the Hi-Si, something I don't regret. He said it was the smoothest piece ever - he was right! Everyone who's used it loves it. I spent more than I wanted to, even after they worked with me on the price, but it's been worth it - I haven't seen these anywhere online and at very few stores. Thanks Abhinav and Mike's Smoke Shop!
Pros: Great selection, top brands, friendly & knowledgeable staff
Cons: Pricier than online, but reasonable and will work with you
