Over the past 30 years I have worked in the glass blowing industry from managing studios to traveling all over the country selling glass. In 2014 my business partner and I were on the road selling for a glass cooperative out of Asheville NC, and made our way as far south as San Antonio. On our way back north we decided to see if this shop was open since it was not when we came through heading south. As luck would have it they were open, but we really did not like dealing with the spoiled brat that claimed he was the owner. It seemed as if we were an inconvenience to his life, and thought we were amateurs for not having enough glass for his liking [NOTE: We made $122,000 on that trip, and sold out of everything. This shop was the last shop on our run]. He bought $250 worth of small stuff as if he was doing us a favor. Fast forward to today. I''m in Austin for the holiday week and I pass by when they are supposed to be open, and they are not. The sign is no longer on the building, and it looks abandoned again.
Huge glass and vape selection, and employees are very knowledgable about their products
The owner (Shooter) has amazing customer service skills. He greets everyone when they come in and gives honest advice about what they are looking to purchase. The first time I went, I purchased a dugout, and he threw in a free ceramic pinch hit on top of the one it came with (y''all know they always get lost). Today when I went, I was looking for another Ryot brand dugout... he was all out but let me know where it may be available. I wanted to purchase the poker thing it came with but he let me go with it, free of charge. Nothing but good vibes in this shop... and a lot of cool smoking stuff. It''s also cool that the workers don''t get all crazy if you say anything other than tobacco... because I''m not fond of talking in code.
Don''t let the pictures on here Deceive you there''s nothing in the store whatsoever and that''s because "they''re keeping up with the trends". They don''t cary much of anything store looks barror and the employee i met seemed to not care about helping me at all. Was more interested with whatever is going on in that back room. Like I said don''t let the pictures of the good ol days for this place trick you into walking in cause its NOT worth it
Had a glass accident on 4/20 and went looking for a replacement the next day. After going to no less than 6 other shops in the south area, we walked into Smoke Depot. I was relieved to finally see some selection in the water pipe department. The employees were immediately attentive and friendly. One of them informed us they were still running their 4/20 sale. We started eyeballing a bigger piece and he instantly whipped out his phone and contacted the owner for the best deal possible. Shoutout to the owner for being so responsive while on vacation. We ended up leaving with a beautiful set at an awesome price with the help of the guy. He really knew the inventory and talked to us for awhile about everything. And at the end both of the employees bubble wrapped every single thing so safely! We got a great deal and loveeee our new pieces. Pics don’t do them justice. ❤️🔥 thanks yall!
