Red Star Vapor & Smoke

Red Star Vapor & Smoke has earned a reputation as one of the best-regarded smoke shops in Colorado Springs, and the moment you talk to the folks who shop here, you understand why. This is a vape shop built on the people behind the counter. Ask anyone who stops in and the same names come up again and again: Vik, Jacob, and Josh. One regular put it best, saying Vik can take even the vaguest idea of what you want and come back with a recommendation that lands every time.

The selection covers what you'd want from a vape store, with plenty of disposable vapes, tanks, e-liquid and vape juice, plus smoking accessories to round things out. On the shelves you'll find names like Dispo Bar, Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, and Foger, along with their own house line. Locals rave about the house Sour Straws flavor, a nice pick when you want something sweet and tart without going overboard. We've heard folks come in for a disposable and walk out just as happy with a new tank after one of Vik's or Josh's suggestions.

One person said flatly they won't shop anywhere else now. What keeps people coming back is the mix of real knowledge and a no-pressure attitude. The team takes time to answer questions, keeps a wide variety in stock, and lets you know when deals are coming up. Prices are a frequent point of praise too, with regulars calling them about as good as it gets in Colorado.

There's even a Pickle Rick sign flyer that locals have grown fond of, which tells you something about the easygoing feel of the place. If you're after a vape shop in Colorado Springs where the staff actually remember you and steer you right, Red Star is an easy one to recommend. Ask for Vik or Jacob and you'll be in good hands.
