Vape & Artisan Glass Gallery

The name says it, and locals will back it up: this is a place where the glass selection gets talked about. Ask anyone who shops at Vape & Artisan Glass Gallery in Philadelphia and you'll hear the same thing, that the glass pipes and water pipes here are the real draw, right alongside one of the better disposable vape selections in the city. One regular drives five miles past closer shops just to get here, and the way they put it, the spots near home simply don't carry what these guys do. The counter staff are a big part of why people keep coming back.

Alexis has a reputation for going above and beyond, and folks say if you don't see what you want, just ask, she can usually track it down. Cheyenne gets singled out too for making first-timers feel comfortable about what they're picking out. The guy who works the shop is known for the same thing, checking that you're happy with what you've got before you head out the door. That kind of hands-on help shows up over and over in what people say around here.

Beyond the glass, they carry vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, cigars, tobacco pipes, rolling papers, CBD and hemp products, and a full spread of smoking accessories. People come in for one thing and leave with two, and the word around Philadelphia is that the prices are fair and the shop always looks and smells great. If they don't stock something, they'll order it for you. One honest note: a few folks have found the doors closed when they hoped to be open, so it's worth timing your trip.

The city has been giving the shop a hard time lately, and even through that, regulars say the staff stay friendly and keep explaining what's going on. People are clearly rooting for this one, and it stays a well-liked spot in the neighborhood.
