Stratus Smoke & Vape

Stratus Smoke & Vape has become a real local favorite in Burlington, and it is easy to see why once you spend a few minutes inside. The selection is what people talk about first. One regular called it the best in the area, and the store is stocked deep without feeling cluttered. You will find vapes and disposables, a wide wall of e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, cigars, CBD and hemp products, kratom, incense, and all the small accessories like coils and pipe care supplies that are easy to forget you need until you are out.

The staff is a big part of the draw. Ask anyone who shops here and they will tell you the guys behind the counter know their products and are happy to walk you through them, whether you are brand new to vaping or have been at it for years. People appreciate that there is no snobbery, just straight help and good recommendations. One person who recently moved to the area was glad to finally have a local spot instead of driving to Greensboro for cigars and Backwoods.

If they do not have what you are after, we hear they will track it down and order it for you. Folks like the warm, inviting feel of the place too, plus the easy parking and how simple it is to find. Prices are considered fair and reasonable. Now, it is not perfect for everyone.

We have heard the occasional grumble about a staff member coming off short, and one Backwoods fan wishes they would keep it stocked more consistently. Those notes aside, the word around Burlington is that Stratus is a dependable, friendly shop with a genuinely strong selection. As one regular put it, it is the best place they have been to in Burlington.
