Step inside the world of Wild Leaf and get to know the passionate individuals who make it all possible. Each member of our team plays a vital role in bringing our vision to life so join us as we sit down with some of our employees to hear their stories, insights, and the driving force behind their work at Wild Leaf Tobacco.

Today we're here with Jason, Isaac, and the Owner of Wild Leaf himself! We're going to ask about their specialties and passion in the field, their expertise, as well as a look into their thoughts on the potential of future products.

Out of the thousands of products we sell, what is the category you are most passionate about?

We are so proud to market ourselves as a 'One-Stop-Shop', so we sell products across dozens of vastly different categories. Everyone here has separate passions and even though we are knowledgeable on all the products we carry, this is what they had to say about their favorites:

Isaac said he has endless passion about glass and in his personal time loves keeping up with the work that glass blowers produce. "I have so much to say around the aspect of an artist making some amazing work that someone can also use for medical purposes."

Jason is always excited to teach everyone about CBD and its benefits. "It has personally helped me greatly with my pain and has helped both of my parents too."

The Owner said he is passionate about kratom products and always keeps time to talk about the ways it can personally help everyone. "Seeing how much it's helped people is awesome- whether to get off opiates or other pharmaceuticals, or just finally finding a way to help all sorts of issues. It's a great natural way to help people." 

Going off of that, what is your favorite single item that we carry?

Here we narrow down the preceding question to gain some more insight into personal preferences on advancements in the industry:

Isaac chose the Ryan Fitt Puffco Proxy Recycler Attachment. "Ryan Fitt is an amazing glass artist who's made a heck of a name for himself over the years. To combine his incredible ingenuity with Puffco's efficiency makes for a near perfect product"

Jason chose the CBDfx Wellness Tincture. "CBD and CBG is really good for natural pain and inflammation relief. I use it myself as well as recommend it to customers all the time."

The Owner chose the Hamilton Jetstream Mini. "It's the coolest thing, the internal fan is never before seen technology that minimizes clogging and makes it easier and safer to share your cartridges."  

If you could be personally sponsored by one brand, what brand would it most likely be?

This question is purely personal. We ask this not as a Wild Leaf representative, but as a hypothetical sponsorship in their every day lives. This is a great question to ask for a better look into the brands they love.

Isaac thinks Puffco would be an amazing brand to be sponsored by. "I use their Proxy personally with some aftermarket glass attachments. I've personally never had better luck or longevity with a single atomizer for this long, over 1oz of product without replacing it. Just simple isopropyl alcohol and Que-Tips for maintenance after each session."

Jason said being sponsored by Tyson would be awesome. "Seeing them with such a huge setup at Champs this year was so cool. The fact that they've been branching out into other areas of the smoke and vape industry really widens the opportunity if a sponsorship were the case."

The Owner said Kylin Bar would be the best brand to be sponsored by. "Their disposables have been my go-to since we got the NOS Disposables and with the new Solar Kits they're definitely a top choice."

What is one tip that you never forget to give to customers?

We always make sure our customers stay in the know about anything they're interested in, and there are so many helpful tips and tricks but these are what they think are the most important:

Isaac took a more generalized route while still being a very important topic: "My tip to customers is to take time to learn the tiers of quality between brands and why there can be such a wild price range. Just like something like cars, you get what you pay for."

Jason's tip is one that we all will always give to kratom customers with a high amount of urgency: "Do not drink carbonated drinks when taking kratom powder. This is always an important tip with customers just starting to try out kratom powder because it'll cause uncomfortable stomach aches."

The Owner said there are quite a few tips to give when it comes to any kind of vape device. "I always tell customers all the setup instructions when getting a new device. Remembering to prime your coils is probably the most important tip if someone's new to vape devices and I'll let them know all the special features so they're confident in using something new."

If you could create a new disposable vape, what special features would it have?

This question is a fun way to dig deeper into both what they want to see in future disposables, along with some personal wishful thinking.

We've seen disposable innovations like an ice level switch, and Isaac wants to take it a step further: "A cool feature would be the ability to switch between 3% and 5% nicotine."

Jason wants to make a high powered disposable that does it all: "I'd like something with pass-through charging (the ability to hit a disposable safely while it's charging), a 2000mah battery, adjustable airflow, and multiple hit modes."

The Owner has seen some advancements with eco-friendliness and wants to keep that growth: "I think a disposable with a biodegradable shell would be cool, it would cut down on plastic waste a ton. Also, an app to track down a lost vape with location capabilities or a ring would help a lot."

Closing thoughts

Taking a closer look into the minds of the Wild Leaf staff and having some fun with hypotheticals was a great way to gain insight into the industry. As the people who need to know it all, it was awesome to hear how we can all have such different interests and put those together to be a well rounded shop full of everything you could need and all the knowledge you deserve.
