Smoke and Vapes

The word around Aurora is that Smoke and Vapes has earned itself a strong local following, and it's held onto those regulars for years. One longtime shopper summed it up simply: they've shopped here since the doors opened and say the place has only gotten better. That kind of loyalty tells you a lot about this smoke shop in Aurora, Colorado. The selection is wide and genuinely covers a lot of ground.

On the tobacco side you'll find cigars, cigarettes, hookah and shisha, plus wraps and rolling papers from names like Backwoods, Dutch, White Owl, Swisher Sweets, Zig-Zag, Royal Blunts and SlapWoods. If you lean toward vaping, they stock vape mods, coils, e-liquid and vape juice, with brands like High Voltage and Synthetix on the shelf. The glass runs deep too, from hard and soft glass pipes to water pipes, rigs, nectar collector kits, dry herb vaporizers, grinders, and smaller accessories like straws, nails and e-nails. People who shop here swear by the variety, and one regular put it plainly: whatever you're after for smoking or vaping, odds are good this is the place that has it.

Value is a big part of the draw. Locals will tell you the prices are fair and the deals are frequent, and the team has a reputation for taking care of people. We've heard a story about someone who got home with a cracked piece of glass, came back, and had it swapped out at no cost along with a free dabber thrown in. That's the kind of goodwill that keeps folks coming back.

Most who walk in talk about the positive vibe and the owner's knowledge, though we'll be honest, a few have run into the odd off day at the counter. The overwhelming sense around town, though, is that this is a friendly, well-stocked shop worth stopping into to see what's on the shelf. If you don't spot what you need, ask the folks behind the counter and they'll point you in the right direction.
