Bear Necessities Smoke Shop

Open 24/7, Bear Necessities Smoke Shop has become a familiar stop for folks in Johnstown, Colorado, no matter the hour. The shelves cover a lot of ground: glass pipes and water pipes, including BMH Glass, plus vapes and disposables, a wide range of e-liquid and vape juice, tobacco pipes, hookah and shisha, cigarettes, rolling papers, grinders, and the accessories to round it all out. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you to the prices first, which regulars say beat the stores just minutes away, especially on popular disposables.

The word around town is that the staff genuinely know their stuff. Justin comes up again and again as a favorite, the kind of guy who remembers your face, knows the products cold, and makes a trip in feel easy. Cody gets his share of praise too, with one regular thanking him by name after walking out happy with new pieces.

We've heard stories of people coming in confused after a bad experience elsewhere and leaving steered toward better juice and a device that actually works, sometimes with a discount for the trouble. That kind of looking-out-for-you attitude is a big part of why people keep coming back. Now, locals are a little split on consistency at the counter.

A few have run into a less welcoming interaction here or there, and there's been the odd grumble about warranty rules on vapes. The overall sentiment runs strongly positive, with some going so far as to call it the best smoke shop in Northern Colorado. For a 24-hour vape shop in Johnstown that pairs real selection with fair prices and staff who know the gear, Bear Necessities earns its loyal following.
