Purple Express

Purple Express has earned a strong reputation among smoke shop fans in Mesa, and it is easy to see why. The selection runs deep, from vape accessories to dab rigs and everything in between. On the shelves you will find respected names like Pax, Storz & Bickel, DaVinci, Puffco, Focus V, Lookah, Yocan and G Pen, plus glass pipes and water pipes, grinders, and rolling papers from Blazy Susan and RAW. Whatever you came in for, chances are they have it and a few options you had not considered.

The vibe is a big part of the draw. People who shop here describe a clean, laid back space that is genuinely inviting to browse. The team keeps things tidy, and the staff know their products cold. Ask anyone who shops here and they will point you toward the friendly, knowledgeable service.

One regular singled out Justin as especially helpful, and that kind of hands on attention seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Value comes up again and again. Locals will tell you the prices are fair and the quality is high, a combination that keeps them coming back. Regulars keep returning for the wide variety and the easy, no pressure atmosphere.

One honest note: we have heard the occasional grumble about hours not lining up with the posted signs, so it is worth confirming they are open before you make a special trip. That aside, the word around Mesa is that Purple Express is a reliable, well stocked stop for vapes, glass, and smoking accessories, and the kind of shop people are happy to call their regular spot.
