Elevation Smoke Shop

Elevation Smoke Shop is a newer addition to the Orlando scene, and locals have been glad to see it open. Jodi and her crew run the place, and the word around town is that they know their stuff. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the staff take time to walk you through the products and answer questions instead of rushing you out the door. The vape selection is where this shop really shines.

We've heard they stock well over a hundred different flavors of e-liquid and vape juice, plus a solid wall of disposables. One nice touch regulars keep mentioning: bring in your old vape when you buy a new one and you'll get a discount for recycling it. On the glass side, there are pipes, water pipes, and plenty of bowls and pieces to pick through, along with rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, and the usual smoking accessories. There's an adult section tucked in the back too.

Parking is easy, with spots both out front and around back. The atmosphere gets a lot of love. People walking in for the first time notice the clean, sharp setup right away, from the smoke-colored epoxy floor to the laid-back, welcoming vibe. If Jodi doesn't have what you're after, folks say she'll try to track it down for you, which is exactly the kind of service that turns a first-time visitor into a regular.

Now, it's fair to say opinion isn't unanimous. A few people have grumbled about the glass holding up or how a return got handled, so if you're buying a delicate piece, give it a good look before you head home. That said, most who come through Elevation walk out happy, and the shop has built a solid reputation in a short time. For a friendly, well-stocked vape and smoke shop in Orlando, it's worth a stop.
