Glass Gods

What makes Glass Gods special in Spokane Valley is that the people behind the counter actually make glass themselves. Tim runs the show alongside Leshawna, Lori, Isaiah, and Tim's brother, and locals will tell you these are some of the most genuinely welcoming folks you'll meet in a shop like this. The story that gets passed around town says it all: one fellow rolled up twenty minutes after closing, and the owner walked out to his truck, asked what he needed, and reopened the store to sell him a fairly priced piece. That kind of thing sticks with people. The heart of this place is the glass.

They carry a solid range of glass pipes and water pipes, but they'll also blow custom work to your specifications. We've heard about beakers made to order with plenty of color and even black light activated designs, turned around in about a week and a half at prices talked through up front. If a treasured piece breaks, bring it in. They do repairs, and more than one person who was told a favorite was beyond saving has walked out with it whole again. On top of that, Glass Gods runs glass working classes on the torches, everything from making icicles to figuring out experimental shapes.

One architecture student drove all the way from Moscow for help with a thesis project and came away raving about how open minded and creative the crew is. It's the kind of spot people book for birthdays and hand off as gift certificates that still work over a year later. The vape side holds its own too. Regulars come in for good deals on mods and juices, with brands like Smok on the shelf and e-liquid flavors like Humble's Donkey Kahn getting name-checked around town. Down to earth guys, nice atmosphere, and they take their time helping you rather than rushing you out the door.

They're open late, which is handy, and the word around Spokane Valley is that this vape and glass shop earns every bit of its strong reputation. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you they're already planning their next visit.
