Habits Smoke & Vape

Habits Smoke & Vape has built up a serious following in Austell, and it's easy to see why once you spend a few minutes inside. Ask anyone who shops here and the name that comes up first is usually Jordan, the guy regulars point you to when they want an honest opinion. Ashock and Dani get the same kind of praise, and the word around Austell is that whoever is behind the counter knows the products cold and takes the time to walk you through your options. One regular put it well, saying the vibe is tranquil and there's never any pressure to buy.

The shelves cover more than the small footprint would suggest. You'll find vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, hookah and shisha, cigarettes, and a good spread of smoking accessories. This is also one of the few spots in the area still carrying Djarum cloves, which longtime regulars appreciate, and there are little trinkets and incense sticks tucked around the store that people wander in and get pleasantly surprised by. The word is that stock stays full and new items show up weekly.

People here are budget-minded and the staff respects that. We've heard the crew will dig through everything to find you every option, even close to closing time, and folks say the Saturday deals are worth planning around. One local mentioned still enjoying their purchase six weeks later, which says something about the recommendations you get here.

If you're heading over, a quick heads up that locals say the entrance can be a little tricky to spot the first time, so give yourself a second to find it. Not every experience has been perfect, and there's been the odd grumble about a newer hire, but that's a rare note against a shop that's earned a near-perfect reputation as one of the highest-rated smoke shops around. For a friendly, knowledgeable smoke shop in Austell, this one is genuinely worth the trip.
