CLE Smokin Vapes & Custom Glass

CLE Smokin Vapes & Custom Glass has earned itself a serious reputation in Richmond Heights, and it comes down to the people running it. This is a black-owned shop run by a friendly couple, and the word around town is that the owners set the tone the moment you walk in. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the female owner in particular goes way above and beyond, taking time to break things down piece by piece rather than just pushing a sale. One first-timer called ahead with a few questions and came away so impressed by the warmth on the phone that they were a customer before they ever stepped inside.

The shelves cover the essentials and then some. You'll find vapes and a solid range of e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers, grinders, and the everyday smoking accessories. Locals love that the selection stays fresh because the owners actually listen. We've heard about regulars introducing them to King Palms with the flavored filter tips, and the very next day those were sitting on the shelf.

If they don't carry what you're after, the owner will happily order it in or take your number and call when it lands. There's a real community feel here too. People rave about the paint and smoke events, where Jay's infused foods keep the good times rolling. The interior gets plenty of compliments, much of it done by the owner himself.

One regular summed it up with "6/5 stars," pointing to the out-of-this-world service, fair prices, and wide selection. The only small note we've heard is that the incense scent can be strong and sometimes lingers on your purchase, though most folks consider that part of the charm. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Richmond Heights where the owners actually know their stuff and treat you like a neighbor, this is one worth getting to know.
