Cloud 9 Vape & Smoke Shop

Cloud 9 Vape & Smoke Shop has built a strong reputation in Amherst, and it shows. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops around, and the reason locals keep coming back has as much to do with the people behind the counter as anything on the shelves. Ask anyone who shops here and Mo's name comes up fast.

Regulars say he knows his stuff, takes the time to help you figure out what you actually want, and treats everyone with genuine kindness. As one regular put it, he's "professional yet so incredibly kind." Audi gets the same kind of praise, with folks singling out how friendly and welcoming she makes the place feel. On the shelves you'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, kratom, and the usual smoking accessories.

The word around Amherst is that the selection is solid and the prices are fair, which is a big part of why people make it their regular stop after a long day. The shop is clean, easy to get to, and open late, so it's an easy place to swing by when other shops have already closed. We'll be honest: a few locals have run into trouble with a disposable that didn't last, and the shop's stance on swaps and refunds has left the occasional person frustrated.

If you're picking up a disposable, it never hurts to test it before you leave. That said, the overwhelming sense from people who shop here is warmth and good service, with the staff getting steady credit for being kind and helpful even when a product hiccup isn't their doing. For a friendly vape shop in Amherst with a good selection and people who actually want to help, Cloud 9 earns its local following.
