Yolo's Smoke Shop

Yolo's Smoke Shop has quietly become one of the most well-liked smoke shops in Phoenix, and the folks who shop here tend to stick around. Ask anyone who comes in regularly and they'll point to the selection first. This is the kind of place where you can hunt down a specific vape and actually find it, with people telling us they keep coming back for Geek Bar and a wall of disposables so deep that one guy visiting from the East Coast said he'd never seen anything like it. If West Coast really is the best coast for these things, Yolo's makes a strong case.

The variety goes well past vapes. Locals will tell you they carry e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, hookah and shisha, tobacco pipes, cigarettes, and the everyday accessories that are easy to run out of. One person walked in just looking for butane refills and left calling it a gold mine. Cigarette prices get a lot of love around the neighborhood too, with more than a few people swearing it beats the corner Circle K.

Chris comes up by name again and again. People say he's fun to deal with, quick when you need a new battery pack, and happy to answer questions whether you're asking about mods, water pipes, or shisha setups. The rest of the crew gets the same warm word of mouth. Easygoing, genuinely helpful, and, as one regular fondly noted, the type to hand your dog a treat on the way out.

If we're being straight, a couple of people have mentioned the doors opening a touch later than posted, so it's worth timing your visit. Even then, they still called it the best place in the area to buy their smokes. For a friendly, well-stocked vape shop in Phoenix with fair prices and staff who know their stuff, Yolo's earns the loyalty it gets.
