Dab City Tobacco & Vape

Dab City Tobacco & Vape has built a solid name for itself in North Lauderdale, and the reputation shows: this is one of the better-regarded smoke shops in town, with a strong Google following. Locals will tell you the draw is a combination of a well-stocked counter and staff who actually take the time to help you find what you came in for. The selection covers a lot of ground. You'll find vapes and disposables, plenty of e-liquid and vape juice, cigars and cigarettes, hookah and shisha, glass pipes and water pipes, and the everyday smoking accessories that round out a good shop.

If you're after a specific disposable, ask around, because they tend to keep brands stocked that other spots have dropped. One regular came in specifically because another store said they were out of Geek Bar, and Dab City had it. People also talk up the Foger Mexico Mango flavor, so it's clearly a favorite here. The team is a big part of why folks keep coming back.

Jasmine, Mia, and Sam all get named by regulars who appreciate the friendly, no-hassle service, and more than one person has walked out with a good deal and a smile. One shopper picked up a pipe she loved and wished the shop luck as it settles in. The owner has a reputation for being pleasant and fair, and there's a story or two about someone getting a discount when a vape didn't work out right. Now and then you'll hear a grumble, usually about a custom order that didn't come through or a rough day at the counter, but that runs against the grain of what most people experience here.

The word around North Lauderdale is that prices are reasonable and the variety is worth the trip. One thing to note on hours: the shop stays open late, though the actual closing time runs a bit earlier than what some map apps show, so it's smart to give them a call before a late-night run.
