Z’s tobacco and vape

Z's tobacco and vape has built a real following in Augusta, and it's easy to see why once you walk in. People will tell you the place is spotless and well organized, the kind of shop where everything has its spot and the shelves stay stocked. The vibe gets mentioned a lot too, friendly and welcoming from the moment you step through the door.

Hookah is where this spot really earns its reputation. The owner makes his own shisha and now puts together fruit bowls for hookahs, which has folks driving past plenty of other options to get here. One regular put it plainly: "I will pass 10 hookah stores just to go here." If you're new to it, ask about the pineapple hookah, that one comes up again and again. On the vape side, you'll find disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, plus the smoking accessories to round out a visit.

The staff carry a lot of the goodwill here. Marjorie gets singled out by name, and locals mention the woman running the store as someone who knows her stuff and takes the time to make recommendations. Ask anyone who shops here and prices come up fast, generally fair and often lower than others around town, and there's a punch card system that rewards you if you're a frequent stop. We've heard the occasional grumble about a vape flavor not being what someone hoped, but that's the exception against a lot of genuine praise.

For a clean, friendly tobacco shop in Augusta with standout hookah, Z's has become a number one stop for a lot of people around here. Tell 'em who sent you.
