Tobacco shop in Auckland

“I just tried the PACHAMAMA watermelon flavour vape from Hype Takanini and I am blown away! The taste is so refreshing and true to its name. I love how smooth it is on the inhale and exhale, making it incredibly enjoyable to vape.”

“Been coming to this shop since it’s opened. I could do delivery but I choose to come to the shop as service has been always great even though I stop there for few minutes to shop.”

“Really helpful staff, friendly attitude! Sometimes even have a free coke!!”

“Edited my earlier review. While the prices here are a little high, guess that's down to the economic climate we're currently in. In saying that my experience with the staff has mostly been exceptional. Thank you & sorry for my previous review”

“I liked Jemma's service. Attentive seller with great tips. I will always come back. Thank you for your kindness.”

“If you want a wide range of vaporizers, juices and accessories, you go talk to the guys here. Want advice, excellent service, and a friendly chat? They do all that too. They know me so well, they know what juices I would enjoy, what devices are good for me, and are extremely knowledgeable. Never go to any other store since the two guys here keep me coming back. 10/10 would go again, and again”

“I will go without vape if I can’t make it to this shop! The customer service is beyond exceptional! Almost feels like a second home to me! It’s not often you go into a shop and feel like you’ve made friends with someone. Osa is a gift to all of us in the vape community and whatever you’re paying him isn’t enough”

“Best experience I've had great people awesome customer care recommended too anyone”

“Great experience. Forgot to get the name of the dude working but he was great. Helpful and loaded with knowledge. Got some really tasty juice for good money. Will come back. Recommended!”

“I make a trip weekly to this store. One of the better experiences with these kind of shops. Heaps of products to choose from for whatever you need. They always have something new every visit. Make sure you go see Robin for more mean deals!”

“**Great shop and owner very helpful when looking for products. Support local business... Big Frank ***”

“Last week I purchased juicy papers from different store which was sticky but when I bought from My blitz Howick that seems they sell original product. Thanks My blitz team.Keep our trust.”

“This store is great the staff are very knowledgable about their products. It took me along time to start vaping I was one of those people that was finding it hard to give up smoking but once I did give it up and started using vape products I have never looked back so I have been vaping since May last year and it was because cigarettes were too expensive just couldn't afford them anymore. I have tried a few different products but my go to vape is Typhoon and the flavour is grape ice. Kyla and Amy who work at the store have taught me alot about how to look after my vape as well as other products I have tried they are very patient with new customers that are starting to vape, they find out your dislikes, likes what kind of smoker you were and give their recommendations, but try their best to fit you with a vape that is easy to use and look after. Kyla knows her customers needs and she is always very respectful towards the customers. So a big ups to Kyla, Amy who is now on leave and the newest employee Maddy great job.”

“Amazing deals and new flavours. Quite a vibe!”

“Excellent customer service and very friendly staff.”

“2024: Holy Moley!! That Fresh Cream Donut just blew my mind! Every component was perfect, soft fluffy donut filled with velvety fresh cream. Everyone within the Auckland area and beyond, set your cross hairs for this delight. 10/10”

“Great product range, very helpful and knowledgable staff.”

“I lost my wallet recently and it had contents that were very special to me. Saileela went out of her way to make sure it was kept safe and she made sure i was the owner before returning it. My most heartfelt appreciation to you Saileela.”

“super friendly staff, A HUGE selection to choose from, accessible to all as it has a carpark and a bus stop right outside! not to mention the prices are great! definitely worth a visit and becoming a member. it is always my go to spot!”

“Great store. Always send there pur customers to that store for their amazing collections of vapes…”

“Pak’nSave Westgate is a newer and tidier branch that still sticks to the chain’s signature no-frills vibe. It’s built for budget shoppers, but it feels a bit more modern compared to some of the older locations. If you’re in the West Auckland area, it’s one of the better options when it comes to balancing affordability with a clean, roomy shopping experience. The store is spacious, well laid out, and usually well-stocked. Aisles are wide, which helps with the flow of foot traffic even during peak hours. It’s still a very practical setup — shelves packed high, lots of bulk products, and nothing fancy in terms of presentation — but everything’s easy to find. Prices are, as always with Pak’nSave, the main draw. You can save quite a bit here, especially on pantry staples, meat, and cleaning products. The produce section is usually decent, with a good range of fruit and veg, though the freshness can still vary day to day. The meat section offers plenty of variety at a decent price point, and the bakery’s got all the basics — bread, rolls, and the usual treats. Staff are generally helpful if you approach them, though it’s still a self-service kind of environment. Don’t expect heaps of interaction, but they’ll assist you if you ask. The checkout area is usually well-staffed, and self-service options are available for smaller shops. Queues move fairly quickly even when it’s busy. Parking is pretty good at Westgate. There’s plenty of space, and it’s easy to get in and out of the carpark compared to other branches. Being part of a large shopping complex also means you can tick off other errands while you’re in the area. Just like other Pak’nSaves, you might find some differences between what’s online and what’s actually in store, so it’s best to shop with a bit of flexibility. Overall, Pak’nSave Westgate is a strong performer. It’s clean, spacious, and reliable for those who want to get a big shop done without overspending. It’s still a no-frills setup, but it feels a little more polished than the older branches, which makes for a smoother experience all round.”

“Got 2 vape pods and was blown away with amazing customer service!!!”

“staff is accomodating and has good recommendations with the products”

“I visited this store on Friday 29 October, first time visiting any XVAPE store. The two guys working were friendly and upbeat and helped me to choose a flavour as they don’t stock my usual brands. To be honest the vape juice is okay but wouldn’t rush back to buy again. However I would be interested in shopping with XVAPE again as the service was nice and looks like a good shop setup”

“I was surprised to see such a huge comprehensive selection of premium fragrance here!! And the best part is that the staff didn't bother me or look over my shoulder while I shopped. I ended up choosing Le Labo Bergamote 22!”

“A first time visit. I couldn't find two or three items. One of the staff went with me, took the items from the shelves and into my trolley. Asked if I needed something else. I had done my shopping, so thanked him. I liked the place so much, I bought a few extras.”

“Pak’nSave Silverdale is a well-sized, tidy store that serves the wider Hibiscus Coast area and does a solid job of it. It’s not flashy or overly modern, but it’s practical and clean, with that familiar warehouse-style layout that Pak’nSave is known for. If you’re after low prices without the bells and whistles, it ticks the right boxes. The store is spacious and easy to navigate, even during busier times. Aisles are wide, shelves are usually well-stocked, and signage is clear enough to help you find what you need without wandering too much. The overall vibe is no-frills, but things generally run smoothly and efficiently. Prices are sharp across the board — groceries, meat, produce, and household items all come in at the lower end, especially if you keep an eye out for specials. The fruit and veg section can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day you visit, but most of the time it’s decent. The meat section usually has a good range at affordable prices, and the bakery offers the basics like bread, rolls, and a few sweet treats. Staff are usually around if you need help, but it’s a typical Pak’nSave setup — more of a DIY experience. Most people are just in and out, focused on the shop, so don’t expect high-touch service. That said, checkout lines move fairly quickly and self-service options help if you’re only picking up a few things. The carpark is decent with a fair amount of space, though it can get full during peak shopping times, especially weekends. The location is handy too, close to other shops in the area, so it’s easy to tick off errands in one go. As with other Pak’nSaves, the online listings don’t always match what’s in-store, so it’s best to go in with a flexible list rather than expecting everything to be there. Overall, Pak’nSave Silverdale is a dependable local spot. It’s not fancy, but it’s clean, roomy, and delivers on what really matters — saving money. If you’re in the area and want to stock up without spending too much, it’s worth the stop.”

“I love this store. Very clean, tidy shelving, easy to find items. The isles are quite wide for a small store, so no one bumps into each other. Produce is fresh. Meat selection is good. It has this really calming feel for simmering so stressful for me as grocery shopping.”

“Pak’nSave Albany is one of the bigger branches on the North Shore, and it definitely shows. The store is spacious, fairly modern, and usually well-stocked, making it a popular choice for families and bulk shoppers. It keeps to the classic Pak’nSave model — low prices, minimal decor, and a focus on practicality over presentation — but the Albany location feels a bit more polished than some of the older ones. The layout is easy to follow, with wide aisles and clear signage, so you’re not bumping trolleys every few seconds. The shelves are usually full, especially earlier in the day, and there’s a decent range of both budget brands and the more well-known labels. Prices are, as expected, very competitive. You’ll find good specials across most departments, and if you’re shopping for a big household, it’s one of the better options to keep costs down. The fresh produce section is generally reliable. Some days the quality is top notch, other times it’s more average — pretty normal for Pak’nSave. The meat section offers good value and a decent selection, and the bakery is basic but has all the essentials. There’s also a reasonable selection of international foods, which reflects the local community well. Staff are usually friendly enough, though it’s mostly a self-service experience unless you go looking for help. Checkout times are fairly efficient, with a good number of lanes open during busy periods and a decent set of self-service checkouts for smaller shops. The carpark is big, but it does fill up, especially on weekends. That said, it’s well laid out and doesn’t feel like a fight to find a spot, even when it’s busy. Being close to other stores and amenities makes it easy to combine errands in one trip. One thing to note, like at other Pak’nSaves, is that what’s advertised online might not always match what’s in store, so it’s worth shopping with a bit of flexibility. All up, Pak’nSave Albany is a good choice if you want decent prices, a clean store, and enough space to do a full shop without feeling crammed in. It’s practical, reliable, and does exactly what you’d expect — no frills, just solid savings.”
