Exotic Smoke Shop & More

Ask anyone who shops the Busch strip in Tampa and Exotic Smoke Shop & More comes up fast. One regular put it plainly: it's the number one smoke shop on Busch, and the folks around here don't say that lightly. Seven straight months of stopping in and still coming back tells you plenty about how this place treats people. The word around Tampa is that the prices are hard to beat.

We hear it again and again, that combination of fair pricing and a staff that actually knows the products and takes the time to help. People come in looking for something specific and walk out with exactly what they wanted, no runaround. If you shop the night shift, ask for Albert, who locals say is one of the coolest guys behind the counter. Corey is another name that comes up for going out of his way to track things down, and Donny keeps regulars happy too.

On the shelves you'll find vapes and disposable vapes along with a wide range of smoking accessories. People who shop here swear by the selection, the kind of spot where they've got what you need and want without making you hunt around three other stores first. The atmosphere gets mentioned nearly as much as the product, friendly and easygoing, with staff who are genuinely helpful rather than just ringing you up. Being open 24 hours makes this one worth knowing about, whatever the hour you find yourself needing a stop in Tampa.

As one person summed it up, skip the rest and come to the best. That's high praise, and it's the kind of loyalty this shop has clearly earned. If you're after a vape shop in Tampa with real value and a friendly crew, Exotic Smoke Shop & More is one locals stand behind.
