EXO Mart

EXO Mart has quietly become one of the best-loved smoke shops in downtown Atlanta, and if you're anywhere near Centennial Olympic Park or the Omni, it's an easy walk. Locals will tell you this is the spot to hit after a Hawks game or between the bars and clubs downtown, and being within walking distance of State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium makes it a convenient stop when you need to restock. Word around Atlanta is that they've earned close to a perfect reputation, and it shows the minute you walk in.

The vape selection is what draws a lot of people. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to the GEEK BAR stock, which regulars say has been hard to find the real thing elsewhere. Beyond disposables, they carry vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, rolling papers, and all the smoking accessories you'd expect to grab on a quick run. One regular came in for a pen and left raving about a banana colada flavor. There's more to it than smoke supplies too, with exclusive streetwear, exotic snacks, and drinks including Japanese candy that folks end up grabbing on the way out.

Talli (some spell it Tali) gets named again and again for being friendly, patient, and happy to walk you through the different options and prices. The vibe here is a big part of the draw, with chill music, a welcoming feel, and staff who actually know their products. We've also heard the shop is handicap accessible, which one wheelchair user was quick to appreciate since not every place makes room.

Fair prices, real knowledge, and a genuinely easygoing atmosphere. As one regular put it simply, "Dude is as real as they come." For a vape shop in Atlanta that's convenient, well-stocked, and run by people who care, EXO Mart is a solid pick.
