Cloud 9 Smoke Shop, Vape & Hookah Co.

Cloud 9 Smoke Shop, Vape & Hookah Co. has earned a strong following in Marietta, and it's easy to see why once you step inside. The word around town is that this is one of the more welcoming smoke shops around, with a beautifully laid out space that doubles as a glass gallery. Sitting right off 75, it's an easy stop, and locals will tell you the selection matches the setting: vapes and vaporizers, disposables, plenty of e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, hookah and shisha, detox products, and a wide range of smoking accessories.

The staff is what people talk about most. Ask anyone who shops here and a name or two comes up fast. Regulars single out Ish, Syn, Alex, Cam, Austin, Brandon, Zip, Jason the area manager, and more, and the common thread is patience. Folks new to hookah setups say the team walked them through it start to finish without ever rushing or pushing. One shopper showed up with a long list of questions and left saying they'd happily bring more next time. That kind of knowledgeable, no-pressure help is a big part of why people keep coming back.

Value is another draw. The shop runs daily deals across all sorts of products, and people who shop here swear by the prices for the quality on the shelves. Between the glass, the hookah gear, and the day-to-day essentials, most walk out with what they came for.

We'll be straight, though: we've heard one account from a woman who felt an employee crossed personal boundaries, and that's worth mentioning honestly. It stands apart from the steady stream of praise for the team's warmth and professionalism. On the whole, this is a smoke shop in Marietta that regulars genuinely enjoy visiting, and the welcoming crew is the reason most say they'll be back.
