Pokémon Go is all the rage these days and many businesses are jumping on board. The game entails going out into the real world while using augmented reality software on your cell phone or tablet to locate Pokémon creatures in the wild.

You can also go to Poké stops along the way to pick up extra pokéballs and other supplies. Poké stops are generally found in places where people tend to congregate, such as popular restaurants and attractions. You may be surprised to find that there are a number of Poké stops at local vape shops in the Miami area.

Shopping Centers

There are two major shopping centers in Miami that have several pokéstops, as well as a conveniently located VaporFi shop. Dadeland Mall and Sawgrass Mills Mall are both home to VaporFi locations, and boast a handful of pokéstops for people who are out to catch 'em all.

Sawgrass Mills Mall, in particular, is a popular place for Pokémon hunting as it is the second largest mall in the area and as crowds gather to hunt and battle together, many people are placing lures as well. Stop by VaporFi, pick up a bottle of your favorite e-liquid and then head outside to track down some new pets.

Dadeland Mall is also home to more than 185 shops featuring both indoor and outdoor walkways. Enjoy the sunshine or head inside for some refreshing air conditioning and a cool drink. Either way, there is plenty of room to explore and play here. And, of course, you can stop in at VaporFi for all your vape needs.

Tourist Attractions

If you're looking to enjoy the area while also stopping by one of our most popular VaporFi locations, head down to South Beach. SoBe is already one of the most popular places in South Florida to hang out and enjoy some fun, fresh air and good food. It is also packed full of pokéstops and gyms to help you level up as a trainer.

Anyone traveling through Miami on their way to the University of Central Florida will also enjoy the vast array of pokéstops and wild Pokémon on campus. There is plenty to see and do in the area, but you can visit your new dorm room, tour the campus and find a VaporFi shop just down the street.

Coral Way is another popular location for shopping, food and entertainment. The wonderful Books and Books is a pokéstop, just a few doors down from a VaporFi location. Take a nice leisurely stroll down Coral Way and enjoy some awesome local businesses offering up goods and services you will love.

Lazy Mornings

Maybe you're not a tourist and you are just looking for a nice place to relax for a few minutes. Ft. Lauderdale's Undergrounds Coffehaus is another great place to get your morning caffeine while also staying competitive in the game. It is located in a relatively quiet shopping district with less traffic than the large malls.

Walk outside and you will be right next door to a VaporFi location so we can help you find all the e-juices and devices you need. Sip some coffee, wake up with a nice breakfast pastry vape, and then head out to continue exploring all that Ft. Lauderdale has to offer.

Use Your Lure Modules

Remember, you don't have to walk all over Miami to catch the best Pokémon. While the game is designed to get you out and about, you can also sit down and place a lure module at any of the above pokéstop locations.

These lures allow you to attract wild Pokémon to your location for thirty minutes, which is plenty of time to drink your coffee, have a smoothie or eat lunch. Let the Pokémon come to you, and meet other players as they gather around your lure to enjoy the perks.

While you are out wandering the world, any pokéstop you see that has purple confetti around it already has a lure placed. That means you too can take advantage of other people's kindness. Since many of these shopping centers are so popular, there are typically lures being placed on a constant basis, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the game.

Stay Safe

There has already been a rash of crazy stories hitting the news about unusual encounters and freak accidents happening while people play Pokémon Go. The best advice is to stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Luckily, if you stick to these locations you will be in well-lit, public areas where lots of other people have gathered to play the game as well.
