Cage #3 Smoke Shop occupies a storefront at 5058 El Cajon Blvd in College Area, San Diego 92115, operating as the third location in The Cage chain with extended hours that push past midnight. The product floor covers disposable and refillable vape hardware, e-liquid lines across nicotine-salt and freebase concentrations, glass water pipes, hand pipes, rolling papers, wraps, and a cigar selection. Accessory racks stock grinders, dab tools, torches, silicone containers, and replacement coils, and the glass case rotates American-made borosilicate pieces alongside import production models. The SDSU campus sits less than a mile east, and the dessert-and-snack traffic flowing to Handel's Homemade Ice Cream SDSU on College Avenue generates cross-traffic along the same El Cajon Blvd corridor. The store maintains LGBTQ+-inclusive and transgender-safespace designations, extending that commitment across the in-store experience and product displays. Kratom, CBD, and hookah shisha round out the non-tobacco inventory, and a Fivestars loyalty-rewards program tracks repeat-purchase points redeemable in-store. The El Cajon Blvd position places the shop within the densest block of College Area's walk-in retail, flanked by the international dining corridor to the west and the SDSU commercial cluster to the east. Late-night foot traffic from the surrounding apartment blocks overlaps with the after-hours dining crowd at carnicerias and taco shops along the strip, including Carnitas Las Michoacanas a few blocks to the southwest. NFC mobile payments, credit, and debit process at the register, and free street parking serves the storefront entrance.
