With86(DBA HO SMOKE)

With86 (DBA HO SMOKE) has earned a real name for itself in Tacoma, and it starts with the man behind the counter. Jason, the owner, is the reason people keep coming back. Locals will tell you he takes the time to answer questions and make sure you leave with exactly what you were after, and he's known for giving folks a fair deal rather than trying to move whatever's sitting on the shelf. One regular who visited every smoke shop in the area put it plainly: this was the only place where the person behind the counter actually knew what he was talking about.

We've even heard of him throwing in a free bowl and lighter just to be good to a first-time visitor. The store itself has a look you don't forget. Graffiti covers the walls and gives it a cool street vibe, and glass cases line both sides as you walk through, fully stocked with pieces and little trinkets that catch the black light. Don't skip the back wall either, since it's loaded with more glass and merchandise.

Ask anyone who shops here for glass pipes and water pipes and they'll point you straight to this spot. Beyond the glass, HO SMOKE carries vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, and a solid range of smoking accessories and clean parts, which is why regulars stop in frequently to restock. On price, folks are a little split. Some find the vape juice runs a touch higher than elsewhere, while others say the glass prices sit at the low end of average for Tacoma, and Jason will often work with you on cost.

Either way, the vibe is welcoming and the service is what earns the loyalty. This is one of the highest-rated smoke shops in the area, and the affection people have for Jason comes through every time. If you're looking for a glass shop or vape shop in Tacoma where the owner genuinely looks out for you, this one's worth the trip.
