Mad Max's Postapocalyptic Smokeshop & Armory has earned itself a serious reputation in Grand Junction, and locals will tell you it's one of the best smoke shops on the Western Slope. Ask anyone who shops here and the glass comes up first.

One longtime shopper summed up the glass case simply: a huge variety of quality made art.

Beyond the glass, this is also a dependable vape shop in Grand Junction. The word around the valley is that the vape selection runs deep, with plenty of e-liquid and vape juice to choose from, plus tobacco pipes, smoking accessories, and even incense that smells great.
