Planet Smoke

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you straight to Planet Smoke, one of the most well-loved smoke shops in Lakeland, Florida. The word around town is simple: if another shop is out of your flavor, this is where you go, because they're guaranteed to have it. Folks who have been coming for years swear by the prices, and more than a few will tell you it's the best in the city. Selena and Julia get named again and again by the regulars, and for good reason.

People genuinely look forward to seeing them. Both know the products cold and take the time to walk you through your options, and Sharon gets the same warm word of mouth. One regular put it plainly: the ladies here go the extra mile and put a smile on your face, and people like that are hard to find. If you walk in unsure of what you want, the staff will ask the right questions and steer you to the right thing without any pressure.

The shelves carry vapes and disposable vapes in a wide range of flavors, hookah and shisha, kratom, and all the smoking accessories and pipe supplies you'd expect. They keep bringing in new items too, including a selection of perfumes that has caught on with locals. If they don't have what you're after on the shelf, chances are good they can order it in for you. The vibe is friendly, the selection runs deep, and they stay open late, which makes Planet Smoke an easy stop when the rest of the town has closed up.

For a vape shop in Lakeland with fair prices and staff who actually care, this is one people keep calling their forever shop.
