Three Kings Smoke and Vape

Ask anyone in Tempe where to find a smoke shop that actually knows its stuff, and Three Kings Smoke and Vape comes up fast. This is one of the highest-rated spots of its kind in the area, and the reason is no secret: Ali and his team treat people right. Regulars talk about the owner by name, the kind of person who will steer you toward something new and get it right. One local came in unsure what they wanted and walked out with exactly the right piece, thanks to staff who took the time to help.

The selection covers about everything you'd want. Vapes and disposables sit alongside a big spread of e-liquid and vape juice, including some flavors you won't find just anywhere. People who shop here swear by the recommendations, and more than one has come back to try newer flavors after a good first pick. On the glass side there's a deep range of pipes, water pipes, and silicone pieces, plus wraps, rolling papers, hookah and shisha, tobacco pipes, cigarettes, and a wall of accessories.

As one regular put it, they have "just about anything you could need from a smoke shop," and the smaller extras and cute accessories get plenty of love too. Value is a big part of the draw here. Locals will tell you the prices beat the other shops around, and the staff have been known to knock a little off or toss in something for folks who made the trek. We'll be straight: a few people have grumbled that the shop can feel a bit packed or that pricing isn't always crystal clear.

That's the exception, though. Most who walk through the door leave calling it their new favorite. If you're looking for a vape shop in Tempe run by people who genuinely care, Three Kings is an easy one to stand behind. Stop in, ask for Ali, and see why so many keep coming back.
