Red Star Vapor & Smoke

Ask anyone in Colorado Springs who takes their vaping seriously and Red Star Vapor & Smoke comes up fast. This is one of the highest-rated spots of its kind in the area, and the reason is simple: the people behind the counter actually know their stuff and take the time to help. Katie in particular has built a real following. People come back specifically to see her, and the word around town is that she can point you to the right flavor even when you walk in with no idea what you want.

One loyal regular put it plainly, saying she stopped in less for a while but kept missing Katie enough to come back. Alex, Dalton, and Roberto get the same kind of praise for being friendly, honest, and steering folks toward alternatives when something they wanted is sold out. The selection runs deep on disposables and vapes, with brands like Dispo Bar, Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, and Foger on the shelves. They carry a solid lineup of e-liquid and vape juice, including their own Red Star house juices that regulars swear by.

We've heard they recently expanded that juice lineup too. There's a good range of nicotine-free options, and locals appreciate that you can sample flavors with a sanitary disposable mouthpiece before you commit. Smoking accessories round things out. Switching from disposables or just restocking, the team here treats questions as part of the job rather than a hassle.

One person passing through the Springs said the staff was phenomenal and genuinely knowledgeable, which lines up with what regulars will tell you. If you're looking for a vape shop in Colorado Springs where someone will actually walk you through your options without any runaround, Red Star has earned its reputation the honest way.
