The Konnexion

The Konnexion is a smoke and vape shop known for glass pipes, including water pipes, bubblers, chillums and steamrollers, with hundreds of pieces across a range of prices. The shop also stocks vaporizers, disposable vapes, pod systems, e-liquids, 510 batteries, rolling tobacco, cigars and dokha.

The shop opened in Iowa City in 2004 and added a Dubuque location in 2014. It also runs an online store that ships nationwide. Much of the glass and inventory comes from local and American makers, and the shop hosts monthly sales. Staff can help customers choose a piece or device, so it is worth stopping in to look around.
