Bellagio Vapor Indian School

Ask anyone who shops the 7th Avenue and Indian School location down in the Melrose District, and they will point you to Bellagio Vapor Indian School as one of the best-regarded smoke shops in Phoenix. The word around town is that this crew knows their stuff and treats people right, and the numbers back it up: this is one of the highest-rated spots of its kind in the area. The selection is what pulls people in. Locals swear by the glass here, with pieces and water pipes folks say they couldn't track down anywhere else in the valley, plus some of the best deals on torches around.

On the vape side, you'll find disposables and pods from Geek Bar, Lost Mary, Off Stamp, Fifty Bar, Rifbar and Adjust, along with e-liquid and vape juice. They also stock cigars, hookah and shisha, cigarettes and all the smaller accessories. Regulars keep coming back for the prices, which people call some of the cheapest in town, and if they don't have what you're after, we hear they'll get it in quick. The staff is a big part of the draw.

Flip gets named again and again for honest, outgoing service and, as one regular pointed out, great taste in music. Caleb has a reputation as the most helpful person some folks have run into at any shop nearby. People who shop here talk about being walked through the deals and steered to exactly what they wanted, big purchase or small. It's the kind of place where you can actually hang out.

There are couches to get out of the Arizona heat, a basketball hoop, drinks, food, music and TVs going. Whether you're grabbing your usual pack or hunting down an older tank you can't find anywhere else, this is a genuine local favorite in Phoenix worth stopping into.
