LiL Buddha Vapor and Smoke Shop

Ask anyone who shops here and the first name that comes up is Moe. Also known around the neighborhood as Mike, Mo, or Mohammed, he's the owner of LiL Buddha Vapor and Smoke Shop, and folks in Tampa clearly think the world of him. Regulars talk about the smile you get walking through the front door and the way he takes time to answer every question, no matter how new you are to it all. His wife Sara helps run the place too, and between them and the rest of the crew, the vibe here is friendly and easygoing.

As one local put it, you leave in a good mood even on the days you don't buy anything. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops around, and it earns that reputation. The selection is what keeps people coming back. You'll find vapes and disposable vapes, plenty of e-liquid and vape juice, CBD and hemp products, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, and a solid range of smoking accessories.

People who shop here swear by the variety, and the guys behind the counter know their stuff and are happy to steer you toward the right thing. Word around Tampa is the prices are fair too. One regular reckoned it ran a good bit less than another shop across town, and everything he picked up was fresh and clean. Don't leave without checking out the mural.

Locals rave about it, and it's part of what makes the shop feel like its own place rather than just another counter and shelf. We'll be honest, there's the occasional grumble about a price on a specific vape, but that's a rare note against a whole lot of praise. If you're after a vape shop in Tampa where the owner actually knows your name and enjoys the chat, LiL Buddha is a real local favorite worth the stop.
