101 Smoke Shop - Lakeshore Rd

Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they'll tell you about 101 Smoke Shop on Lakeshore Rd is how big it is inside. The place has room to move and a large inventory to match, which is a big reason it's become one of the highest-rated smoke shops around Columbus. Regulars come in for disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, hookah and shisha, and CBD and hemp products, with the shelves stocked deep. If you're picky about brands, the lineup runs through Geek Bar, Lost Mary, RAZ, Fume, Kado Bar, Foger, VIHO, OLIT, MFU, PLOOX, OFF-STAMP, and Adjust My, so there's plenty to work through.

The staff is where this shop really earns its reputation. Locals rave about Jayla, who has a way of making a quick stop for a vape genuinely fun, and Kevin gets the same kind of praise for his easygoing help. Couples who come in together say the team always takes time to walk them through the options and figure out what to try next. One regular put it plainly: they're very kind and get things done quick. Fair prices come up a lot too, along with a rewards program and a military discount, which the word around Columbus says are worth asking about.

If we're being straight, we've heard the occasional grumble about a rushed visit or a display that needed tidying, but that's the exception here, not the rule. The much louder message is that people walk out with exactly what they came for and plan to come back. For a vape shop in Columbus with a deep selection and staff who actually know their stuff, 101 Smoke Shop keeps drawing folks in.
