Old Pueblo Vapor (OPV Lounge)

Ask anyone who vapes in Tucson and Old Pueblo Vapor, or OPV as the regulars call it, comes up fast. This is one of the highest-rated vape shops in the area, and it earns that reputation the honest way: with people who actually know their stuff and treat you right the second you walk in. Folks talk about being greeted by name here, and staffers like Justin have a habit of turning a rough day around, whether that's letting you in on a running promotion or setting you up with a new tank. The draw for a lot of locals is the juice.

OPV makes their e-liquid to order, mixing it fresh when you buy, and people swear the flavors just taste better than what they find elsewhere. One regular who travels for work put it plainly: every shop he stops at on the road gets compared to OPV and loses. Flavors like Pixie Dust and Kilt Breeze have their own devoted following. Beyond the juice, they carry disposable vapes, glass pipes and water pipes, and a full run of vape hardware and accessories, with names on the shelves like Vaporesso, Voopoo, Geek Vape, Molicel, Samsung, FRE and ZIMO.

Yes, if you like it spicy, they even stock hot sauces. The rewards program and points system come up again and again, along with a military discount that regulars appreciate. We hear the prices can run a touch higher than some spots around town, but the word around Tucson is that the selection, the atmosphere and the service more than make up for it, especially when you're buying larger amounts of juice. Location-wise, OPV sits right at the cusp of two major intersections, with a drive-through that makes quick stops easy.

Just plan your approach, since the medians mean you'll want to be heading the right direction. They stay open late, too. It's the kind of place people stick with for years and never feel like going anywhere else.
