101 Smoke Shop

If you have been hunting the Pensacola area for a vape store you can settle into, 101 Smoke Shop on West Nine Mile is the one locals keep pointing people toward. Ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you it is one of the best-regarded smoke shops around, with the kind of steady word-of-mouth that keeps folks driving past the other spots to get here. The selection is what pulls people in. Disposables are the strong suit, with Geek Bar and RAZ on the shelves alongside Foger, Lost Mary, Fume, Kado Bar, VIHO, MFU, OLIT, PLOOX, OFF-STAMP and Adjust My.

One regular who had been chasing down a couple of elusive VIHO flavors finally crossed them off the list here, which tells you how deep the flavor stock runs. Beyond the vapes, you will find glass pipes and water pipes, tobacco pipes, CBD and hemp products, and cigarettes. People say the place is clean and very well stocked, so if you have been striking out elsewhere on a specific brand or flavor, this is worth the stop. Prices are a big part of the reputation too.

We hear again and again that it is one of the cheaper vape shops in the area, and more than a few people have warned against paying more down the road for the same thing. Good value, plain and simple. Then there is the crew. The word around Pensacola is that the staff here are genuinely friendly and helpful, the sort who remember your face.

Regulars talk about Mita recognizing them when they walk in and greeting them with a real smile. That personable, easygoing atmosphere is a big reason people keep coming back. As one local put it, "best shop in Pensacola, everyone is so sweet and helpful."
