Up'n Smoke

Up'n Smoke has earned a loyal following in Fort Collins, and spend any time around town and you'll hear why. It sits among the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and that reputation comes down to the people behind the counter as much as the shelves. Ask anyone who shops here and the same names come up again and again: Cheyenne and Grace, who know the products inside and out and can answer a stack of questions while still helping everyone else in the room. Emily has a knack for matching people with the right rig, Ashley points folks toward the perfect hand pipe, and Keeli, Autumn, and J all get called out by regulars who appreciate the warm welcome.

The selection runs deep. You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, plus brands like Vaporesso, Smok, GeekVape, UWell, Smoking Vapor, Puffco, and Pax. One person drove all the way from Wellington just for a Puffco part, which tells you something about what they keep in stock. On the accessory side there's water pipes, hand pipes, grinders, papers, King Palm, nectar collectors, and incense.

What people really love, though, is the local glass. There's a glass blowing studio right in the front of the shop, and more than one regular has walked out with a one-of-a-kind locally made piece they couldn't stop raving about. The atmosphere gets mentioned a lot too. Locals describe it as quiet and chill, with low, comfortable lighting instead of the harsh, over-bright feel of some other spots.

You can still see everything just fine, and the staff work with you to stay within your budget while finding exactly what you're after. As one longtime shopper put it, they'd recommend this place over any other smoke shop in town. If you're looking for a vape shop or glass spot in Fort Collins where the help actually knows their stuff, Up'n Smoke is an easy one to recommend.
