Elite Vapes

Elite Vapes has been part of the Thornton vape scene for a long stretch, and plenty of folks around here have been walking through the door for close to a decade. That kind of loyalty tells you something. People who shop here will tell you the staff treat you like a friend, not a transaction, and more than a few say they drive past shops that are closer just to come to this one. What keeps regulars coming back is the depth of the selection.

You'll find disposables in plenty of brands and flavors, including newer Foger refills that some people hadn't seen anywhere else yet. The word around Thornton is that Elite also holds onto the conventional gear that a lot of shops have let slide, so if you're after free base liquid, mods, tanks, and the equipment to go with them, this is a place that still takes that seriously. The juice selection gets called out again and again, and the fact that they stock outside brands rather than pushing a house line is something the pickier vapers genuinely appreciate. Ask anyone who shops here and the names come up fast.

Mitch, Markie, Austin, and Trevor get singled out for knowing their stuff and being patient with it, whether that's rewrapping batteries, walking someone through battery safety, or figuring out what's wrong with a device that quit on you. There's even a spot in the shop where you can clean your vape and charge your batteries. One traveler visiting family from the UK ran short on supplies and left impressed by the near-dated juice deals and the help they got. Now and then you'll hear a grumble that it gets busy and someone felt rushed, but most leave feeling looked after, and little things like a free coil swap go a long way here.

For a vape shop in Thornton, Colorado with real staying power and a crew that knows the gear, Elite Vapes earns its loyal following.
