Bongz and Thongz Glass & Vape

Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing: Bongz and Thongz Glass & Vape is a family owned spot, not some chain, and that difference shows the second you walk in. Locals will tell you it sits downtown off Liberty, an easy stop if you're already out enjoying Ann Arbor. People who come through the door for the first time tend to leave feeling looked after, and plenty of them keep coming back. The selection is a big part of the draw.

We've heard folks call it unlike anything else around, from vapes and disposables to a wide range of glass pipes and water pipes. Regulars love the art and the pieces on the shelves, and more than a few describe the whole place as a genuine smoke shop with real character. If you're hunting for something specific, the word around town is they usually have it. Names come up again and again when people talk about this shop.

Benji gets singled out constantly as the best seller behind the counter, the kind of guy who gets you exactly what you came for. Mohamed, or Moe, is another regular favorite, known for knowing the products inside and out and even pointing visitors toward other local businesses worth checking out. One traveler from out of state made a point of saying how well they were treated on a first visit. Honestly, the experience seems to ride on who's working, and locals are a touch split when a less friendly face is at the register.

That's the exception. With a strong reputation across hundreds of visits, Bongz and Thongz stays a well-liked stop in Ann Arbor for glass, vapes, and accessories, especially when the town fills up and out-of-towners go looking for the good shops.
