Wonderful store, well-organized with great vaping gear and juice choices. Knowledgeable staff will make you feel right at home by your second or third visit, and will even suggest new, better flavors in line with what they know you've enjoyed previously. A true "one-stop shop" for the northern end of Des Moines, you can begin with a budget-priced or moderately-priced package; I personally suggest investing in a moderately priced package initially, as it will give you a longer, noticeably higher quality vapor more suitable to quitting traditional tobacco. For those looking to collect, a separate case full of high-ranged devices and juice tanks focused on quality (Zen, ProVari, MarkBugs, VaporFlask, etc.) are waiting to be topped with a choice of dripper or tank from a batch large enough to fit anyone's style. The longer waiting times prior to this summer (2015) have been fixed by an increased number of helpful, lovely staff. This is exactly the store those of us vapors who are marooned in Ankeny need! read more

Started reading the reviews on here and was quite confused. I've been shopping at this store for two years now never once has anybody been less than accommodating and pleasant. I have had mods that didn't work they help me get it replaced nearly immediately. I have been to other shops in town and nowhere do they have anywhere near the same amount of knowledge or selection as Central Iowa Vapors. This is a great place to shop and because of them I have not had a cigarette in over 2 years. I do not work for the store nor do they pay me any kind of commission to advertise. I recommend them to every single smoker I come across I carry around a pocketful of their cards. I hate the fact that the only people that go online to review are whiny complaining individuals. The people that have good experiences tend not to spend time reviewing websites. Central Iowa vapors is a great store that is truly out to help people quit smoking and enjoy their vaping experience. I highly recommend them. Rob read more

I started vaping and have gone from a little pen setup ( well many of them) I now have many sub ohm tanks and mods. They are the only ones who carry the specific flavors I use all the time. The staff is amazing and they are very helpful. Always honest. I am at a few of their locations a lot! And it is always very nice. I am always getting help from them. I spend alot there because I always want the best. Each employee gives you their honest opinion on what is the best! They help you find the perfect setup and the perfect flavors for you. They chat, give you plenty of attention. And I am never worried about being talked into anything. I talk myself into tons and the staff will tell you if your choices are good or not so good because they take the time to get to know you and what you like. Very amazing place! I constantly recommend these shops to everyone! It is just amazing! read more

I stopped smoking one year ago, much of the credit should go to my friends at Central Iowa Vapors. The staff is very courteous and friendly, and will always take the time to make sure you are well informed about your purchases. I have never been wronged by this company, and will continue to support them in the future. read more
