HQ Vape & Smoke

HQ Vape & Smoke has been part of the Denver scene since 1989, and all these years later it keeps a loyal following downtown. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they mention is the staff. We hear the crew genuinely gets along, the turnover is low, and that consistency shows. One regular who stops in a few times a week said the whole team, from the owner down to the hourly folks, treats people with respect, and plenty of locals say the same.

The selection covers what you would hope for from a place that has been at it this long. They stock vapes, disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, hookah and shisha, rolling papers, tobacco pipes, and all the smaller accessories. People who come in for a specific flavor tend to find it, whether that is a particular VFUN PEBBLE or American Patriot Naked juice that is hard to track down elsewhere. The team is happy to hold a product if you call ahead, and more than a few folks say they do exactly that.

If you are after glass, one local picked up a bubbler here and was thrilled with both the piece and the price. Fair pricing and regular deals come up a lot from the regulars, and the shop itself is clean, organized, and easygoing. The word around Denver is that the staff know their stuff and are glad to help troubleshoot a device or point you toward something new. Being right on a busy downtown street, parking can take a minute, so it is more of a local's shop than a quick in-and-out.

A couple of people have walked away unhappy over a return, so it is worth testing anything you can before you go, but the overwhelming experience here is a friendly, knowledgeable crew that keeps people coming back.
