Our Story — Boise-Owned and Operated Since 2018
Stormy Vape opened in Boise in 2018 with a simple premise: the Treasure Valley deserved a vape shop that carried authentic product, explained things honestly, and didn't upsell you on whatever had the highest margin that week. Founder Gabriel Visaya started the business after being burned too many times at other shops — fake devices, staff who clearly didn't vape themselves, and "loyalty programs" that returned pennies on the dollar. Gabriel built Stormy Vape into one of Boise's highest-rated vape stores, earning a 4.9-star Google reputation and a steady following across the Treasure Valley over seven years on Milwaukee St.
From day one, Stormy Vape has worked exclusively with authorized distributors and manufacturer reps. Every Geek Bar Pulse, Lost Mary, Off Stamp X-Cube, RYL by RAZ, Fogger, Fifty Bar, Vaporesso, Smok, Elf Bar, Funky Republic, Tyson 2.0, Naked 100 e-liquid bottle and Pop Twist 510 battery that crosses our counter has a traceable supply chain. That's the difference between a legit Boise vape shop and a smoke-shop counter that flips Alibaba knockoffs — and it's the foundation of our faulty-device swap guarantee.
In 2026, Gabriel handed the storefront to Mo, the new owner — same shop, same staff, same standards. Mo took over committed to keeping every promise that earned Stormy Vape its reputation: authorized-distributor sourcing only, the 20% back Stormy Rewards program, and the faulty-device swap guarantee. Gabriel hasn't gone far — he now runs Stormy Vape Delivery, getting authentic disposables, e-liquid, and devices straight to customers across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Garden City, Nampa, and Kuna.
Today Stormy Vape operates from our Towne Square flagship at 120 N Milwaukee St — just off Franklin Rd near Boise Towne Square Mall — with hours that stay open late enough for night-shift customers and late-night cravings in Boise to have a real option, plus same-day delivery anywhere in the Treasure Valley.
