If your in the east bay, check out fusion novelties in antioch. Its right off hwy 4. I just picked up a nice piece today and im very happy with it. They got a gang load of pipes, bongs, scales, even tattoo equip.
generation rock in concord is pretty cool. the dude wll throw his pipes against the wall to show you they won't break. anyway they got a nice selection of all accesories, a tattoo parlor, and good prices on blown glass...and you can negotiate with them like a motherfucker!
Ohhhhhh ok. Yeah, they have always been called smoke shops to me. They are always run by an Asian dude who has bongs, hukkas, brass knuckles, knock off samurai swords, posters of Tupac, bandanas, and tube socks.
Santa Rosa: mighty quinn and peacepipe always kept updated w/ real good with glass and vapes.
if you ever make a trip to Santa Cruz Irie Motivations on the eastside and Glass Roots (downtown front st.) definetely top the list for the monterey bay.
Gonna have to check out Bulldog cause all the shops I've been to around the southbay has been nathen but hot trash.
