DJ Smoke Shop

DJ Smoke Shop has earned a strong local following in St. Petersburg, and the people who shop here regularly are quick to say so. One longtime regular put it plainly: they love coming in because every single person behind the counter treats them right, from Josh to the owner himself. That kind of loyalty runs deep here, and the VIP rewards program is a big part of it. As one member of what they call the "DJ family" told us, it feels good to get something back for coming back.

The shelves cover the essentials and then some. You'll find vapes and disposables, a solid lineup of e-liquid and vape juice, hookah and shisha for the setup at home, kratom, and rolling papers. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point to the selection as one of the reasons DJ keeps its regulars. The word around St. Petersburg is that this is one of the better smoke shops in the area for finding what you actually came in for.

Staff names come up a lot in the best way. Layla is one people mention for taking her time and helping folks track down exactly what they're after, and Josh has a reputation for being personable and attentive. Rick, the owner, gets called a good guy by more than a few of the regulars. That said, locals are a little split on the day-to-day service, and we've heard the odd grumble about slow greetings or someone glued to a phone. On its best days, though, this is the friendly, knowledgeable spot people around town keep recommending.

If DJ Smoke Shop is close to home, it's an easy stop worth getting to know. Prices land in fair territory, the selection is deep, and the crew that keeps regulars coming back knows their stuff.
