813 Smoke Shop

The word around Tampa is that 813 Smoke Shop earns its reputation, sitting close to a perfect five-star mark across well over a hundred people who have walked through the door. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they mention is how clean and well organized the place is. The layout makes it easy to find what you came for, and that seems to be by design. For products, this is a solid stop for vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, and disposables.

One regular came in for HQD disposables, so you get a sense of the brands on the shelves. Beyond the vape side, they stock glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, a range of smoking accessories, and kratom. People who shop here talk about a good variety across the board, so whatever you need, there's a decent chance they have it. The staff is where 813 really shines.

Yaiya comes up again and again, and locals will tell you she's genuinely positive, always smiling, and happy to walk you through products you don't know much about, including how things are priced. Javi gets the same kind of praise for being helpful and easy to deal with. The vibe is friendly and the line tends to move fast, which regulars appreciate. We'll be straight with you: opinion on price is a little split.

Some folks feel a few items run higher than other shops around town, and one person had a rough go with a disposable that didn't sit right. That said, the overwhelming word around town leans warm, with plenty of people calling it the best store around and pointing straight back to the service and the clean, welcoming shop. If you're looking for a tobacco shop in Tampa with staff who actually take the time with you, this one's worth a visit.
