Red Star Vapor & Smoke

Red Star Vapor & Smoke has earned a reputation as one of the highest-rated smoke shops in Colorado Springs, and once you've been in, it's easy to see why. The word around town is that the staff here make the difference. Ask anyone who shops regularly and a few names come up again and again: Edye, Morgann, and Taylor. Locals talk about how Edye knows her regulars by name and never steers them wrong, whether they're after a new juice option or picking out a vape.

One longtime customer put it plainly, calling her an absolute bright spot who's knowledgeable, kind, and always ready with a good recommendation. The selection covers vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, and a range of smoking accessories. On the shelves you'll find brands like Dispo Bar, Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, and Foger, along with their own house version of the Geek Bar called the EC30K. People who shop here swear by being able to try flavors with the rubber testers before they commit, which is no small thing when a bad pick means you're stuck with it for a week or two.

We've heard plenty of love for flavors like Blue Trifecta, Frozen White Grape, starry cranberry, and peach mango watermelon, and the company pouches get called out as both cheap and tasty. Regulars keep coming back for more than just the products. The store is clean, the environment is laid back, and folks mention the quarterly sales, discounts, and raffles as a real draw. It's the kind of place where the team takes the time to chat and genuinely cares that you leave with the right thing.

If you're looking for a vape shop in Colorado Springs where the people behind the counter actually know their stuff, Red Star is one locals recommend over any other in the area.
