247 Smoke Shop Sand Lake/Universal

Ask anyone who shops here and one name comes up again and again: Betty. She has earned a real following at 247 Smoke Shop Sand Lake/Universal, and for good reason. The word around Orlando is that she takes her time, listens to what you actually want, and never makes anyone feel out of their depth. One newcomer to all this said she walked him through the shop without a hint of judgment, patient with every question.

Shantelle gets the same kind of praise for touring folks around the glass pieces, and Betty and Adil together have built a reputation for giving you options rather than a hard sell. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and the selection is a big part of why. They carry disposable vapes and vapes from names like Lost Mary, Geek Bar, RAZ, NEXA, KangVape, Elf Bar, and Fume, plus a solid cigar case and a real range of glass pipes and water pipes. Hookah fans are well looked after here, with Al Fakher, Starbuzz, and Fumari shisha on the shelves.

One regular came in looking for a mini hookah and left thrilled with the help he got landing on the right one. They also stock CBD and hemp products, kratom, and all the smaller accessories you'd expect. Locals will tell you the shop is clean, well organized, and easy to move through, with a welcoming feel the moment you step in. Fair prices come up a lot too, along with the fact that nobody here pushes you toward the priciest thing on the wall.

A few people who've tried other spots around town have quietly declared this the best in the area. Open 24 hours, so whether it's the middle of the afternoon or the middle of the night, the doors are open in Orlando, Florida. People who shop here keep coming back, and plenty say they'll return the next time they're in town.
