Essential Smoke N' Vape

Essential Smoke N' Vape has built a real following in Phoenix, and it earns it. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing: friendly faces, fair prices, and a selection that punches above what you'd expect. The word around town is that this is one of the highest-regarded smoke shops in the area, and the regulars who keep coming back make it clear why. On the vape side, they carry disposables and keep names like Geek Bar in stock, including the Pulse X and Pulse 2, often with a good deal running on multi-packs.

If glass is what you're after, locals rave about the bongs and bowls here. As one regular put it, they love the place for the water pipes and hand pipes, and the prices stay reasonable. You'll also find glass pipes and the smoking accessories to round out whatever you need. The service is a big part of the draw.

Alan gets singled out again and again as awesome and genuinely kind, and folks appreciate that the whole team keeps a good sense of humor while they help you find what you're looking for. One person new to the neighborhood said they were just glad to finally have a shop this close to home. Worth knowing before you go: this isn't only a smoke shop. People mention hot food, groceries, and beer under the same roof, so it does double duty for the neighborhood.

The vape section itself is on the smaller side, but between the glass, the accessories, and the deals, most who stop in leave happy. It's a spot that's been around Phoenix for years now, and it shows.
