I Smoke & Vape Plus 2

If you are looking for a smoke shop in Hope Mills that treats you like a regular from the first visit, I Smoke & Vape Plus 2 has earned its reputation. This is one of the highest-rated shops around, and the word around Hope Mills is consistent: friendly people, a clean store, and fair prices. The shelves cover the essentials and then some. You'll find vapes and disposables, a solid range of e-liquid and vape juice, cigarettes, tobacco pipes, CBD and hemp products, and the smoking accessories to round out a run.

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll tell you the staff know their stock cold. If you're not sure what to grab, get a recommendation. As one regular put it, they haven't missed yet. Omar and Megg both come up by name from folks who appreciate the help and the easy, welcoming feel behind the counter.

The service is what keeps people coming back. Locals say you feel welcomed like a friend the moment you walk in, day or night, and that the same warm treatment holds up whether you're stopping by in the afternoon or later in the evening. There's a rewards program that regulars say is the real deal, and more than a few folks have told us they'll go out of their way to shop here over anywhere else. One person called it the best around, no competition.

We'll be straight with you: a small number of people have raised concerns about how pricing and attitude played out for them, and that's worth an honest mention. It runs against the overwhelming word-of-mouth here, though, which paints a picture of a clean, well-run shop with a laid-back owner and a knowledgeable crew. For most who walk in, this is exactly the kind of local spot you want close to home in Hope Mills.
