Kipling Smoke & Vape

Kipling Smoke & Vape has earned a strong following in Arvada, and the people who shop here are loyal enough to make the trip from clear across town. One regular makes the drive all the way from downtown just to stop in, which tells you something about how this place treats people. Don't let the storefront throw you if it still looks patched up. Someone ran a car into the front at one point, but inside it's a well-stocked, good-looking shop with everything you'd want.

The selection is what keeps folks coming back. You'll find vapes and disposables, a solid wall of e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, and a real spread of glass, from water pipes to tobacco pipes and all the smoking accessories that go with them. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll mention the deals too. One happy regular walked out with a "scary tree bong" they absolutely loved, and the word around Arvada is that the prices are fair across the board.

Service is the heart of this shop. Issa (you'll also hear him called Jon or John) is the name people bring up again and again, and locals describe him as friendly, patient, and genuinely knowledgeable about what he sells. People say he makes real connections and takes the time to help each person find what fits them, so it feels less like a quick stop and more like dealing with someone who actually cares. First-timers tend to leave impressed and come back.

Fair warning: one person got caught waiting out front when a "back in 5" sign stretched longer than expected, so it's not a bad idea to call ahead if you're coming from a distance. That hiccup aside, this is a neighborhood vape shop in Arvada that locals are happy to call their own, and the recommendations around here are easy to come by.
