101 Smoke Shop

The word around Athens is that 101 Smoke Shop has built up a real following, and it shows. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and the people who shop here talk about it like it's their spot, not just a place to grab supplies.

A lot of that loyalty comes down to the staff. Sara's name comes up again and again, and one longtime regular who'd been shopping with her for two years talked about her more like a friend than an employee, the kind who takes care of people and remembers who they are. But it isn't only her. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same about Alex, Taylor, and Joey too. One person said flat out they'd come back just to see Joey. Locals will tell you it doesn't matter what day or time you walk in, someone knowledgeable is going to help you find what you're after. And plenty of folks make a point of mentioning how welcoming the shop is to the queer and trans community, which matters.

The selection is a big draw. On the vape and disposable side they carry a deep lineup, including Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, Fume, Kado Bar, Foger, VIHO, OLIT, MFU, PLOOX, OFF-STAMP, and Adjust My. You'll also find CBD and hemp products, cigarettes, and rolling papers. Regulars keep coming back for the pricing too, which people around town say runs cheaper on vapes and disposables than a lot of other shops in Athens. The store itself is clean, smells nice, and easy to walk into.

We've heard the odd grumble here and there, but they're rare, and the overwhelming word on this place is warm and consistent. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Athens where the staff actually know their stuff and treat you well, 101 Smoke Shop earns the reputation it has.
