Red Star Vapor & Smoke

Red Star Vapor & Smoke has built a strong following in Colorado Springs, and once you stop in it's easy to see why. The shelves run deep with vapes, disposables, and a wide range of e-liquid and vape juice, with names like Lost Mary, Geek Bar, RAZ, Dispo Bar, and Foger in the mix. If you stick to mint or the regular flavors, there's still plenty to choose from, and folks who want something new will find the crew happy to point them toward a brand or flavor worth trying. One devoted fan drove eleven hours just to pick up Red Star juice, which tells you something about what this place means to people.

Ask anyone who shops here and the conversation turns quickly to Alex. He's the name that comes up again and again, known for being kind, genuinely knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you leave informed and with exactly what you came for. He's far from the only standout, though. Ray has a knack for helping people land on the right flavors, Timothy keeps regulars in the loop on the latest store drops, and the whole crew is the kind that will trade a little wisdom or shoot the breeze for a minute.

We've heard one visitor rave about adding nicotine to get a juice dialed in just right. It's a welcoming spot too, and locals are glad to tell you it's an LGBTQ+ friendly shop where everyone gets the same warm treatment. The word around Colorado Springs is that the value here beats the gas stations, especially on pouches, and that regulars get tipped off about specials and new arrivals. Visits tend to be quick and easy, in and out with no fuss.

The location won't win any beauty contests, and some will tell you as much, but the service and selection keep people coming back anyway. For a vape shop in Colorado Springs with a crew that actually knows their stuff, Red Star earns its reputation.
