Up In Smoke and Vapor

Up In Smoke and Vapor has built a solid following in University Place, and locals will tell you it's the corner spot with the biggest selection of vapes and juices around. Walk in and you'll find disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, glass pipes and water pipes, plus the smoking accessories to go with them. People who shop here often point to the range of disposables, with names like Geek Bar in the mix, and the fact that the shelves are always kept in good order.

The people behind the counter get a lot of the credit. Ask anyone who comes in regularly and they'll mention how friendly the staff is, and the newer owner in particular has made an impression. We've heard he likes to get to know the folks who come in, even keeping a notebook so he can jot down what kind of burner or setup you have to make your next visit go smoothly.

That kind of personal touch is the sort of thing that keeps a store like this busy. One regular mentioned the shop even hands out little fruit snacks now and then, which tells you the vibe is easygoing and welcoming. Prices land in fair territory, and the deals on vapes come up again and again from the people who stop in often.

A quick tip we've picked up: pin down the price before you buy, since a couple of folks have noticed it can vary depending on who's ringing you up, and it's always worth a glance at the date on your juice. Hours run convenient, open from morning until nine at night, so it's easy to swing by later in the day. For a vape shop in University Place with a deep selection and staff who actually remember you, Up In Smoke and Vapor is worth a stop.
