Kings Tobaccos #1

Ask anyone in Morehead City where to buy vapes and the answer comes back the same: Kings Tobaccos #1. There are tobacco and vape stores on just about every corner around here, but locals will tell you this is the one that actually earns your loyalty. One longtime regular, a 70-year-old resident, put it plainly: it's the only place he goes, and he says you'd be smart to do the same. A lot of that comes down to Matt, the man most people ask for by name. We hear he greets folks with a smile, knows the products inside and out, and takes real time with you.

He'll ask how something worked out and check whether there's anything you're after that isn't on the shelf. That's a running theme here: if they don't have it, they'll track it down for you. If you don't see what you need, just ask. Tony, the owner, gets warm words too, and names like Lulu and Kenzie come up when people talk about the friendly crew behind the counter. The selection covers vapes and disposable vapes, e-liquid and vape juice, kratom, and a range of smoking accessories.

Regulars mention the store is kept well stocked, especially on vapes, pouches, and kratom. Word around town is the shop stays sparkling clean, and folks who pay cash say you'll get a better deal that way. People genuinely drive out of their way to shop here, some for years running. Not every visit lands perfectly. One person ran into an e-liquid past its date, so it's fair to glance at what you're buying before you go.

That's the rare exception in a shop most people in Morehead City count as a favorite, and one of the highest-regarded smoke shops around Eastern North Carolina. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Morehead City with people who actually know their stuff, this is an easy recommendation.
