Puff Stuff

Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing: Puff Stuff is one of the friendlier smoke shops in Pittsburgh, and the prices are hard to argue with. Regulars say this is the cheapest spot in the area for what they buy, and more than a few have made it the only vape shop they bother with anymore. One longtime local put it plainly: three years a loyal customer, and no plans to shop anywhere else. The selection is the other big draw.

Locals will tell you that if you smoke anything at all, you'll find it here. Disposable vapes and vape juice fill the shelves, with names like RAZ, Lost Mary, Smok, Kilo, Air Factory, Pod Juice, NEXA and TWIST in the mix, plus Yocan and Osmall for vaporizers. Cigars and cigarettes are stocked too, along with CBD and hemp products and kratom in both powder and pill form. The glass side gets its own praise: unique pipes, water pipes, and even silicone options.

If they don't have the flavor you want, the word around town is they'll track it down for your next visit. People mention grape bubblegum and cotton candy getting ordered in without a fuss. The owner sets the tone here, greeting people warmly and, by several accounts, remembering the regulars by sight. His associate Sree gets singled out as polite and genuinely helpful.

There's a discount if you buy a good quantity of the same item, and staff will go out of their way to get you what you're after. We'll be honest, one person had a less helpful visit with a staff member who didn't know the products well, but that runs against the grain of what nearly everyone else says. There are also a few slot machines on site if you feel like playing. Between the fair pricing, the deep shelves, and a team that treats regulars like regulars, it's easy to see why this shop keeps earning repeat trips.
