How to Find a Vape Shop Near You (Anywhere in the World)

Whether you're traveling, visiting family out of state, or relocating to a new city or country, there's a good chance you'll need to find a vape shop nearby. Whether it’s to restock on vape juice, grab a replacement coil, or troubleshoot a device, knowing how to locate a reliable vape shop is essential.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best ways to find local vape stores—no matter where you are—without leaving your hotel, car, or couch.

What Is a Vape Shop?

A vape shop is a retail store that specializes in selling vape products like e-liquids, pod systems, disposables, mods, tanks, coils, and accessories. Unlike head shops or smoke shops, which may carry vape gear among other products (like tobacco or glass pipes), vape shops focus exclusively on vaping.

Many vape shops also offer:

• Community spaces for vapers to meet and hang out
• Flavor sampling (where allowed)
• Hands-on help for setup, troubleshooting, and repairs
• Beginner education on topics like battery safety, nicotine types, and proper device usage

If you're new to vaping or need expert help on the go, a local vape shop can be your best resource.

How to Find Local Vape Shops: Google

The easiest and fastest way to find a vape shop is to ask Google.

Just search:
“vape shops near me”
Best of all, this works almost anywhere—even when traveling abroad. Just make sure your location services are turned on, and Google will take care of the rest. Definitely note that some countries have more rigorous laws around vapes.

How to Find Local Vape Shops: Yelp

Yelp.com is another powerful tool for finding vape stores—especially in the U.S. and Canada. With its user-generated reviews, you can get a clear picture of the shop’s service, inventory, and vibe before walking in.

To use Yelp:

• Go to Yelp.com or the Yelp app
• Type “vape shop” in the search bar
• Enter your current location
• Browse top-rated or most-reviewed listings

Each listing includes photos, hours, and contact info—just like Google, but with more emphasis on customer experience.

Note: Yelp is less effective internationally, so stick to Google if you're outside North America.

No Vape Shops Nearby? Here’s What to Do

If you can’t find a dedicated vape shop nearby, don’t panic—there are still two solid options:

1. Try Smoke or Head Shops

• Smoke shops focus on tobacco but often carry vape products like disposables, e-liquids, or basic disposable vapes
• Head shops cater to cannabis users but may carry vape accessories as well.
  
  

Just search: “smoke shops near me”
“head shops near me”

Even if they don’t specialize in vaping, they might carry the essentials to hold you over.

 2. Order Online

Our favorite and well the only option we believe in lol (we may be biased) If all else fails—or if you want better prices and more variety—buying vapes online is your best bet. Many online vape retailers:

• Offer competitive pricing and discounts
• Have extensive product selections not found in stores
  

Bonus: If you already know your favorite vape juice or device model, online shopping is fast and hassle-free. Bonus is we sell top brands like Lost Mary, Geek Bar and Raz Vape.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re on vacation, moving to a new area, or simply away from your regular shop, finding a vape store doesn’t have to be complicated. Use Google or Yelp to explore your options locally, and if needed, don’t overlook smoke shops—or the convenience of online ordering.
