Cloudy Smoke Shop & Co.

Cloudy Smoke Shop & Co. has earned a real reputation in Phoenix, and it comes down to two things: the people behind the counter and the way they treat everyone who walks in. This is a queer-female-owned shop, and locals will tell you the welcome is genuine. Ask anyone who shops here and a name usually comes up. Angelica gets singled out for going out of her way, once helping a customer fix a mistake without a hint of judgment.

Samantha's bubbly personality has more than one person leaving with a purchase and a new friend. MJ remembers faces and always acknowledges you, Sage went so far as to order more of a product for a customer who cleaned out the shelf, and Stormy, the owner herself, has been known to talk you into something with a laugh. The word around Phoenix is that these are real people giving real service. On the shelves you'll find vapes and disposable vapes, glass pipes and water pipes, and the smoking accessories to go with them.

They carry Geek Bar, Puffco, and Blazy Susan, and regulars keep coming back for the disposables in particular, with folks mentioning the fifty bar in flavors like Baja Burst and Strawberry Blitz. One longtime customer swears the vapes here last longer than what he's found at other shops around town. If you're hunting for something specific, the team will help you piece together exactly what you need, and a phone call ahead usually gets you a straight answer. Prices come up again and again, and always in a good way.

People walk in expecting to pay more and leave pleasantly surprised, and there's a happy hour on vapes during the week from 4 to 6pm worth timing your visit around. Add in the sharp look of the place and those stickers people can't stop mentioning, and it's easy to see why this is one of the best-loved smoke shops in Phoenix.
